BRECON Vibration Technology

Know-how Center

In the Know-how Center we explain the design, functionality, sizing and application of external vibrators: formulas for calculating the centrifugal force, empirical values for selecting vibrators and practical advice on mounting, from the precast concrete plant to the silo and the conveyor trough.

Basics

How an external vibrator works, how centrifugal force and vibration amplitude are calculated, and what matters for mounting and adjustment.

Introduction

Design and functionality, circular, linear and elliptic vibration, and the difference between low and high frequency vibrators.

Theoretical Foundations and Nominal Values

Calculation of centrifugal force and vibration amplitude, motor speed and slip, and the influence of speed on the centrifugal force.

General Information on External Vibrators

Transmission of vibration, mounting location, installation, rigidity and storage of the vibration equipment, and measurements at commissioning.

Applications

Design and use of external vibrators in the main fields of application, with empirical values and calculation examples.

Compaction of Concrete at Prefab Companies

High frequency vibrators, calculation example for vibration tables, shutterings, frequency converters, electrical installation and noise reduction.

Compaction of Bulk Materials

Why dry bulk materials are best compacted with 3000 vibrations/min, and which materials are typically compacted.

Loosening and Breaking up

Solving bridge and shaft formation in silos and bunkers: vibrator selection, fastening, adjustment and operation.

Conveying and Sieving

Conveying procedure and micro-throws, calculation of conveying velocity and centrifugal force, and advice for conveyor troughs and screens.
