Vibration is induced by the rotation of an unbalanced turbine wheel (supported by oversized, sealed bearings) being driven by compressed air (or another inert gas) around the aluminum, malleable iron, or cast steel cylindrical body. The Speed or Frequency, measured as Vibrations-Per-Minute (VPM), is determined by the turbine wheel’s RPM. The VPM is adjustable using an air regulator to adjust inlet PSI or an adjustable speed-control exhaust muffler. The Centrifugal Force Pounds (lbf) is based on turbine wheel size and its RPM. The smaller the turbine wheel, the higher the VPM at the same PSI or muffler setting. Higher PSI causes higher VPM. A larger turbine wheel or an increase in turbine wheel RPM results in an exponential increase of the centrifugal force produced.
 
Sizing Guide: Turbine Vibrators, when used to prompt material flow, are sized based on the weight and characteristics of the stored material held in the sloped portion of the bin, hopper or other vessel. Generally, for consistent, long term results, select a Turbine Vibrator that at 80 PSI (can be run @ 40 to 90 PSI) produces 1-lbf for every 10-lbs of stored material.
