Construction vibrator is an indispensable device in industry

In many areas of economic activity and industrial production, equipment called a surface vibrator is used. What kind of device is this and what does it represent? Read on to find out.

A surface vibrator (also known as a vibration motor or vibromotor) is a powerful electric motor equipped with special out-of-balance weights that produce effective oscillatory functions.

The scope of application of such equipment is extensive:

• concreting various objects (floors, ceilings, road surfaces, etc.);
• granulation and dehydration of products;
• production of paving slabs, bricks, and concrete blocks;
• loading and unloading operations;
• increasing the productivity of construction machinery (mortar pumps, plastering machines, etc.).

Buying a surface vibrator – an indispensable device in many areas of production – is offered in the "Stroytekhnik" online store.

Characteristics of a surface vibrator

Various modern production processes require the use of diverse high-frequency oscillations. To perform complex tasks for specific purposes, different models of equipment are used.

The selection of a surface vibrator depending on the area of operation is carried out based on the following characteristics:

• dimensions;
• voltage;
• power;
• weight;
• types of fasteners;
• manufacturer.

The most effective equipment for concrete compaction is electric-drive controlled vibrators. They come in different voltages – 42V (in this case, a step-down transformer is used), 220V (single-phase electric motor), and 380V (three-phase device).

Distinctive features of using a surface vibrator

When using a surface vibrator, there is no direct contact between it and the concrete mixture. Vibration is transmitted through the mating surface (formwork, vibrating table, vibrating conveyor).

Before starting work, it is necessary to inspect the device and check the reliability of the tightening of threaded connections. An important nuance! The fastening bolts used for the tight fit of the vibrator to the fixed surface must be checked and tightened after five minutes, and then after an hour of operation. In this case, it is possible to achieve better transmission of oscillatory movements to the concrete mass.

An important point is connecting the surface vibrator to the electrical network. First, you must make sure that the network voltage matches the required parameters of the equipment. Then, in accordance with the instructions, select the cable of the required cross-section. Connection is carried out not directly, but through a starting device.

Indispensable conditions for electrical safety are also the use of a circuit breaker and grounding of the equipment.

To ensure that the equipment operates smoothly and safely for a long time, it must be purchased from trusted suppliers or, even better, directly from the manufacturer. Only in this case can you be sure of the quality and reliability of the machinery. The "Stroytekhnik" online store is one of the places where construction equipment at an affordable price and its high operational characteristics meet the best ratio.
