▪INTRODUCTION
Syntron
®
Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators are air-driven turbine wheels that produce an orbital vibrating
action that assists the flow of bulk solid materials. The low operating noise level (75 dB or less) of these
vibrators (Model TB with built-in mufflers, and Models TAM and TBM with mufflers installed) is in
compliance with OSHA regulations.
Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators are available in many models for varied applications. The TAM
models are ideal for small to medium size applications such as screening, sizing, settling, aiding flow in
parts feeders, and for moving powdered materials through hoppers and chutes. The TB and TBM
models are ideal for heavy-duty applications. The TB models feature built-in mufflers for quiet
operation, and are ideal for rough applications as well as air material conveying systems, medium size
batch hoppers, large bins, hoppers and chutes, packing table and screen applications. The TBM
models are ideal for pharmaceutical and food industries because the non-lubricated air supply ensures
that there is no oily exhaust.

4
NOTE: TAM and TBM models should be installed with a muffler to eliminate exhaust hiss and to
prevent foreign matter from entering the vibrator.
All models can operate in any position, and are totally enclosed for use outdoors and/or in water splash
locations. They are not adversely affected by dusty, dirty or wet locations, and they can run
continuously or intermittently.
All units have adjustable force; adjusting the air pressure adjusts speed as well as force. Refer to the
specification charts on pages 14, 16, and 18.
Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators have only one moving part, which is prelubricated for life and
never needs oil, even for continuous duty. Therefore, many years of trouble-free service can be
expected when a suitable pneumatic turbine vibrator is selected, properly installed, and maintained.
▪SELECTING THE PROPER BIN HOPPER
BINS OR HOPPERS
In order to move material in a bin or hopper, friction between the material and the bin wall must be
broken. Once the friction is broken, material cannot cling to the bin walls, and it will flow through the
discharge. For most applications, the vibrator force needed to achieve this is calculated as follows:
First, calculate the weight (in pounds) of the material in the sloping part of the bin only. Normally, this is
the only place where friction between the material and the bin wall must be broken.
•For conical bins, calculate as follows:
.261 x Dia.2 x Height x Material Density in Ib/ft3(kg/m3)
•For rectangular bins, calculate as follows:
Length x Width x Height x 1/3 x Material Density in lb/ft (kg/m3)
After the weight (lb) has been calculated, divide the weight by 10 to get the force (lbf) needed from the
vibrator. For example, if the conical part of a 25-ton bin contains 7000 pounds of material, divide 7,000
by 10 to get the force needed from the vibrator. NOTE: If the weight has been calculated in kilograms,
divide the weight by 1.02 to get the force needed from the vibrator (N). For example, if the conical part
of a 25-ton bin contains 3175 kg, divide 3175 by 1.02 to get the force needed from the vibrator (N).
There are several additional things to consider when sizing vibrators to bins:
•If the bin side angle is below 30 degrees, select the next larger vibrator (see pages 14, 16,
and 18).
•If the bin has a vertical section, select the next larger vibrator (see pages 14, 16, and 18).
•If bin thickness is extra heavy, select the next larger vibrator (see pages 14, 16, and 18).
•For sticky and hard-to-move materials, use two small vibrators instead of one large one (find
the required force for the two smaller vibrators by dividing the required force in half).

5
VIBRATING TABLES FOR PACKING MATERIALS
Dense materials respond best to high-frequency vibration (3600 rpms or more), while light, fluffy or
flaky materials respond best to low-frequency vibration (1800 rpms or less). For packing or settling
materials use a vibrator with an impact force of 1-1/2 to 2 times larger than the weight of the material
plus container.
VIBRATING SCREENS
For self-cleaning screens, use a vibrator with a centrifugal force 4 times the weight of the material plus
the weight of the screen.
CONSOLIDATING CONCRETE
For 3-inch "slump" concrete, use a vibrator with the same force as the weight of the concrete and form.
For 1 to 2 inch “slump” concrete, an additional 30 to 50 percent force is needed. For dry mixes, (0
slump), add an additional 100 to 200 percent force.
CHUTES
The force required of the vibrator is equal to the weight of the chute plus the vibrator plus the
maximum material in the chute. See page 11 for more details.
▪INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
CAUTION: The warranty is void if vibrators are not properly installed.
During installation, follow and check off the following steps.
1. Determine where the vibrator(s) should be placed on the bin, one-quarter or one-third up the
sloping side. Refer to Figure 1, page 6.
2. Select the thickness and size of the vibrator mounting plate and drill holes for mounting. Refer
to Table 1, page 7.
3. Determine the length of the channel iron. Refer to Table 2, page 7.
4. Weld the mounting plate to the center of the channel iron. Refer to Figure 2, page 8.
5. Weld the channel iron to the bin. Refer to Figure 2, page 8.
6. Install and secure the vibrator firmly on the mounting plate. Check the mounting plate for
warping. Shimming may be required to provide a flat surface for bolting the vibrator.
7. Plumb the vibrator. Refer to page 12.
8. On larger models, where a lug is provided, install a safety cable.
9. Make sure the vibrator produces sufficient force for the application. Refer to pages 14, 16, and
18.

6
▪INSTALLATION
Mount the vibrator with the shaft in the horizontal position, rotating in the direction of material flow.
Vibrators with shaft mounted vertically will create a gyratory effect; this may be desirable only if the bin
is isolated from its supporting structure. Figure 1 illustrates how to locate vibrators on various types of
bins.
LOCATING A VIBRATOR ON A BIN HOPPER
FIGURE 1
Conical bins or hoppers are easily vibrated; however, if a second vibrator is necessary, mount it
diametrically opposite to the first vibrator.
For coarse materials: mount one vibrator one-third of the way up the side of the bin and the other
vibrator halfway up.
For fine materials: mount the first vibrator one-quarter of the way up and the second vibrator one-third
of the way up the side of the bin.
Rectangular bins and hoppers generally require one vibrator. If material continues to stick in the
corners, increase the vibration by first changing the force of the vibrator, and if that does not work,
change to a larger size vibrator, or use two vibrators.
Rectangular bins with hopper bottoms react the same as rectangular bins; however, more force is
usually needed.

7
Parabolic bins or hoppers normally require only one vibrator for each discharge point.
Bins with sloping discharges require the vibrator to be mounted close to the transition between the
chute and bin in order to give the chute sufficient vibration for a steady flow.
Bins with vertical sides react the same as rectangular bins.
▪MOUNTING THE VIBRATOR
Select the thickness and size of the vibrator mounting plate and drill holes for mounting. Refer to Table
1.

*For vibrators with forces over 500 lb (2225 N), add 1 to 1-1/2 ft (.3 to .46 m) to the channel iron length.
CAUTION: Never mount the vibrator directly to the bin wall. It must be mounted to a
plate or channel iron welded to the bin wall. Refer to Figure 2, page 8.

8
Weld the mounting plate to the center of the channel iron. Do not weld the ends of the channel. The
heat concentration could cause crystallization of the metal, resulting in fatigue cracks. Tack weld the
channel iron in place, then weld intermittently, 3-to-6-inch (76 to 152 mm) welds with 3 inch (76 mm)
spaces between the welds. Refer to Figure 2.
POSITION OF THE CHANNEL AND MOUNTING PLATE
FIGURE 2
If the bin plate is 3/16 inches or less (4.8 mm), weld the mounting plate to the back of the channel iron.
If the bin plate is over 3/16 inches, weld the mounting bracket to the legs of the channel iron, making
sure that the bracket does not warp. Refer to Figure 3 for alternate channel mounting suggestions.
ALTERNATE CHANNEL MOUNT SUGGESTIONS
FIGURE 3

9
Using the mounting bolt(s), install the vibrator on the mounting plate (refer to Figure 4, on pages 9 and
10). If the mounting plate is bent or warped due to welding, shim the opposite end of the vibrator (over--
shim slightly). Make sure that the vibrator is mounted tightly. After the first 10 to 15 minutes of
operation, retighten the bolts. Continue to check them periodically for tightness.
CAUTION: A loose vibrator can cause damage to the bin and the vibrator.
WARNING : Install a safety cable (larger models) to prevent the vibrator from falling
into the work area below if it should become loosened from its installation. The
safety cable must be long enough so that the action of the vibrator is not hindered.

▪CHUTES
Chutes up to 6 feet (2 m) long are generally handled by one vibrator mounted approximately one-third
of the distance from the discharge. Refer to Figure 5. On chutes from 6 to 10 feet (2 to 3 m) long, two
vibrators are needed; one should be placed 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 cm) from the discharge, and the
other approximately in the middle. Since chutes are very sensitive to vibration, provision should be
made to move the lower vibrator six inches (15 cm) in either direction. This could mean the difference
between moving the material or not moving it.
LOCATING A VIBRATOR ON A CHUTE
FIGURE 5
The vibrator turbine should rotate in the direction of material flow. The vibrator force required is equal to
the weight of the chute plus the vibrator plus the maximum material in the chute.
To move material in a chute, the chute should be inclined no less than half of the "angle of repose" of
the material (at least 10°). If this cannot be done, a feeder is required to handle the material. "Angle of
repose" can be found in most handbooks or easily measured by dumping a cup of material on a table.
The angle the material makes between the table and the cone is the angle of repose.
▪OPERATION
CAUTION: Do not operate the vibrator while the hopper discharge is closed. This will
compact the contents.
It is not necessary to operate pneumatic turbine vibrators at maximum capability to achieve maximum
performance. Air regulators, timers, etc. should be used to tune the vibration for optimum performance,
save operating dollars, and ensure longer equipment life.
For bulk material handling applications, a pneumatic turbine vibrator should be used to reduce material
friction, not as a feeder. Once particle friction has been reduced, gravity flow occurs and the vibrator
should be shut off. Contents of a bin that is half-full or more will become compacted under continuous
vibration, especially during low discharge rates. This can be prevented by intermittent operation or
cycling of the vibrator. When the speed of the vibrator is cycled from zero to maximum, and vice-versa,
the material resonance is reached, thereby moving the material more effectively than using a
continuous, steady speed. A timer can be used to automatically cycle vibrators. For manual cycling, a

12
simple 1/4-turn ball valve can be installed.
The on and off times are determined by timing the discharge; when the discharge is just above the
minimum rate required, a vibration shock is necessary to keep material moving. For effective, efficient
operation, a short cycle of vibration is best (between 5 and 30 seconds for each 1 to 5 minutes of
discharge).
▪PLUMBING THE VIBRATOR
NOTE: Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators do not require a lubricated air supply. If the
vibrator is connected to a lubricated air supply, a filter must be installed to remove the
oil.
An air filter is recommended to prolong the life of any pneumatic vibrator. A dirty or moist air supply will
harm the unit and prevent it from operating at maximum efficiency and lowest energy consumption.
SMH recommends a 40-micron filter, maintained per the manufacturer's instructions as often as
conditions (dirt, moisture, oil) dictate.
A flow control valve is recommended to permit tuning of the vibrator to achieve the force necessary to
stimulate material flow. The flow volume determines the force and frequency of the vibrator. By
throttling the flow, the desired material discharge rate can be found, and the natural frequency of the
bin or hopper can be avoided. Avoid speeds (frequency) at which the bin wall and vibrator shake
violently. If this occurs, adjust the speed to smooth out unnecessary vibration. On TAM and TBM
models, the flow control valve can be on the exhaust side of the vibrator.
Quick-opening valves (1/4-turn ball) are recommended between the air regulator and the vibrator so
that the air enters the vibrator with full starting force even at low regulator valve settings. The only
requirement is that the air regulator be installed at some distance from the quick opening valve so that
the air pressure between the two valves can build up enough to yield the necessary starting force. The
regulator should be adjusted to just less than the lowest air line pressure (not to exceed maximum
pressure shown on pages 14, 16, and 18) to assure uniform vibration performance.
Solenoid (quick-opening) valves are recommended for automatic operations. For automatic timed
cycling, connect the timer directly to the bin or hopper gate switch (refer to Figure 6). When the gate is
opened, the timed cycling system is activated.
AUTOMATIC TIMED CYCLING OPERATIONS
FIGURE 6

13
The airline to the vibrator should have the same or larger hose inner diameter (ID) as the inlet ID (pipe
size) of the vibrator, so that pressure loss from the compressor to the vibrator is minimized. NOTE: Do
not connect rigid piping to the vibrator.
Model TB vibrators are equipped with a built-in muffler. Model TAM and TBM vibrators should be used
in conjunction with a muffler to reduce exhaust hiss and prevent entry of foreign matter to the vibrator.
▪MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Stored energy may be present. Lock out power during maintenance.
Before operating the unit, guards (if applicable) must be in place.
Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators require little maintenance. They require no lubrication in the
airline. It is recommended that an air cleaner be installed in the line to avoid rust and dirt going through
the unit and clogging the muffler. The muffler can be removed and cleaned or replaced, if required.
Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure that it is tight. Also make sure that the maximum
operating temperature 180°F (82°C) and the maximum air pressure 60 or 80 psi (4.2 or 5.6 kgf/cm
2
) are
not exceeded. Refer to pages 14, 16, and 18.
WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of 80 psi (5.6 kgf/cm
2
). Air
pressure over 80 psi (5.6 kgf/cm
2
) may shorten the life of the vibrator or cause
structural damage.
New vibrators may be slow to start for one or more of the following reasons:
•The bearings are packed with grease; excess grease will be thrown out of the bearing after
operating for a short time.
•Low temperature may cause the grease to be stiff.
•Bearing seals are normally stiff when new or cold.
These resolve themselves after the vibrator has run for several minutes.
