The OT rotary pneumatic vibrator – turbine type is a high-frequency flow-aid device designed for silos, hoppers, chutes, and bulk material handling equipment. Using compressed air, the internal turbine rotates at high speed to generate centrifugal vibration that loosens compacted material and improves discharge flow.

These vibrators are widely used in industries such as cement production, food processing, plastics, and chemical powder handling where powders or granules tend to stick to equipment surfaces.

These vibrators are commonly installed on silos, hoppers, bins, chutes, and conveyors to improve material flow and reduce buildup in dry bulk handling systems.

Thanks to their sealed turbine design, OT vibrators operate efficiently in dusty, humid, and harsh industrial environments.

Key Benefits

• High-frequency vibration for efficient material flow
• Prevents bridging and rat-holing in silos and hoppers
• Low noise compared with ball or roller vibrators
• No lubrication required for the air supply
• Compact and lightweight aluminum construction

The OT series achieves higher vibration speed than ball or roller pneumatic vibrators, resulting in smoother compaction and improved discharge performance.

Typical Applications

OT turbine pneumatic vibrators are commonly used in:

• Cement silos and storage bins

• Concrete batching plants

• Vibrating feeders and screens

• Powder transport channels

• Plastic pellet handling systems

• Grain and food processing equipment

These vibrators are particularly effective for dry powders and granular materials requiring continuous vibration

How a Turbine Pneumatic Vibrator Works

Compressed air enters the vibrator and drives a turbine equipped with eccentric masses. The turbine rotates at high speed, generating centrifugal force that produces high-frequency vibration.

This vibration is transmitted to the mounting surface, loosening compacted material and improving discharge flow from silos, hoppers, and chutes.
