About Findeva Global Ball Vibrators

findeva-ball-vibrator-k-series

The largest Findeva pneumatic Ball Vibrator is capable of handling a load up to 9890 pounds (4486 kg) at 80 psi (5.5 bar). Higher air pressures are allowable, but faster wear on the ball and raceway rings occur. Use multiple vibrators on a single hopper when the load is greater than 9890 pounds (4486 kg). For example, to restore flow to a hopper with 19,000 pounds (8618 kg), use two Ball Vibrators. For more information please see:
