The compressed air that powers these vibrators is commonly accepted as the industry’s fourth utility. When properly installed and maintained, an air system is an extremely efficient and safe method to control and transmit energy to a wide range of equipment including pneumatic vibrators.

For over 80 years, Airmatic has specified and supplied pneumatic rotary and linear vibrators to customers experiencing a wide range of material flow and unloading problems in a variety of manufacturing, agricultural, and mining applications. We represent and stock air vibrators from many of the world’s leading pneumatic manufacturers, so we’ve got a safe, reliable solution to your problem and we’re here to help.  Read more »

Rotary vs Piston Vibrators

There are two types of pneumatic vibrators: rotary and piston. Rotary air vibrators utilize omni-directional force (waves of energy over a wide area), whereas piston air vibrators use linear force (straight line impacting energy to a specific area). Each has its own benefits and unique industrial applications.

Advantages of Using Pneumatic Vibrators:

The use of pneumatic vibrators to solve flow problems continues to grow because it has a number of advantages: Read more »

  • Productivity and Power – pneumatic vibrators convert 100% of input power into output power delivering more force pounds and higher RPM

  • Lower Cost – pneumatic vibrators have fewer moving parts so little maintenance and repair is required, and because their power can be tuned to the application, their energy consumption can be completely controlled

  • Safety – pneumatic vibrators are used in environments where moisture, conductive materials, and even explosive and flammable atmospheres are a problem

  • Versatility – pneumatic vibrators have a great power-to-weight ratio so they are ideal in situations where space is tight or weight matters

  • Work Through a Power Failure – air vibrators run off a compressor’s stored power so they run when the power goes out

Types of Pneumatic Vibrators

Rotary Air Vibrators

Pneumatic Rotary Vibrators are ideal where the flow problem is primarily caused by a material’s particle to particle interaction forces, and the material to bin wall friction of dry (≤ 5% moisture) bulk solids — the primary causes of a bulk solid’s tendency to bridge, arch, build-up or rat-hole. These relatively dry materials respond best to rotary vibration which produces an omni-directional centrifugal force that can be applied over a proportionately large surface area to transmit energy waves through a bin/chute’s steel wall directly into the material to promote flow.

Piston Air Vibrators

Much like a hammer, reciprocating piston vibrators generate linear impact force through the repeated driving of a piston directly against a base plate or a cushion of air between the piston and base plate. They produce impulses acting perpendicular to the Form and usually operate in the frequencies of 1,000 to 5,000 vibrations per minute (VPM). The speed (VPM) is based on model selected and the air pressure and volume supplied. They work best for wet, sticky, clinging bulk materials.
