Fit More Into Less With Uras
Are you looking for a method to compact your material, to make more fit into less?
This feeder does two of the things that vibration does best, convey and settle. This unique feeder with a stair step design was created to assist our client who was processing metals used in gunpowder. They were filling long, slim bags with metals that needed to be flat as paper, but just ended up with the material bunched together, wasting too much space when packed into boxes.
Using this feeder, with each fall from stair-step to stair-step, the material settles out flat. This ensures it fills the entirety of the bags, rather than the majority of the material being in the bottom half. The split trough allowed them to evenly distribute the material within the packaging itself, rather than have all of it bunch of near the middle of the container.
Additionally, since the trough was so deep due to the stair-step design, bars were added between the troughs to keep them sturdy and free from damage due to vibration.

Maximizing Efficiency with Vibrations
Are you fully utilizing vibration for your screening, transporting, milling, or feeding needs?
This machine utilized two side-mounted 8 pole Uras Vibrators to screen PVA pellets. By rotating in opposite directions, these large vibrating motors automatically sync up and cause a linear force which smoothly guides the pellets down the screen. The deck sorts the pellets into ones that are smaller than 30mm, and ones that are larger than 30mm. After that, they are fed into the next process, and they start the next leg of their journey.

Uras Vibro-Screens: Precision, Efficiency, and Style in Motion
That Uras blue is just so in right now!
Uras powered Vibratory screens are seeing wide use across various industries due to their efficient separation of materials of different sizes as well as their overall versatility. Take this Vibro-screen for example; while most screens we make end up separating materials at the centimers/inch level, this screen utilizes very thin mesh to separate powder at the micrometer level.
With a material this small, particles tend to get stuck in the mesh, decreasing overall efficiency and lowering output. This is why the tapping balls are there, continuously bouncing against the underside of the screening surface, cleaning and removing clogs.
Our client was using one machine for various levels of separation and with different materials, so they required an easy way to switch between decks, hence the toggle clamps along the side of the machine. They allow for easy rotation of 20 and 30 mesh decks necessary for their day to day operations.
Also, the entire screen is made of stainless steel. It’s a clutch material used especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries where washdowns are constantly necessary.
Finally, the machine is powered by dual 6-pole Uras Vibrators, providing a consistent and reliable source of linear motion, along with that stylish blue.

Efficient Scrap Metal Recycling with Uras Vibrating Motors
The recycling sector’s best friend is vibration, as can be seen in this vibrating screen powered by two 6 pole, 16kN/200V/50Hz Uras motors. This screen was sold recently to a client who was recycling large pieces of scrap metal from discarded house appliances.
The larger parts were crushed and then sorted (hole diameter 10mm with a 13mm pitch). Our client planned to use a large magnet to separate metal pieces from non-metal, so we built the trough open, using a non-magnetic material (stainless 304).
With this screen they could sort materials into < 10mm, > 10mm metallic and >10mm non-metallic, which allowed for easy recycling.
