Product Applications
Since 1985, Vibro Industries, Inc. has been a premier manufacturer
of Pneumatic Vibratory Transporters. These compact and rugged
transporters, Model 250, 320, 450 and the 860, were originally
manufactured to remove scrap from beneath press tools. Today, units
are being used in other applications and have replaced conventional
belt conveyors in many situations. Here are a few applications
where the Vibro Air-Operated Transporter is meeting the challenge:
Allsteel Company, Hazelton, PA
Allsteel is using the Vibro Air-Operated Transporter to solve a nagging
inefficiency problem. When metal sheets were die cut, the extracted
slugs would build up under the machine and require downtime for
their removal. With a Vibro Air-Operated Transporter system in place now,
testimonials from workers are impressive. The Transporter offers
ease in set up and clean up and the production runs more smoothly
now more than ever before.
Stanley-Vidmar, Allentown, PA
Stanley-Vidmar has installed the Vibro Air-Operated Transporter on a heavy
stamper. They are using 4 trays on a progressive die set up to
eliminate shut down and clean up time. The multiple trays (on
a single transporter) has eliminated the need for 2 conventional
conveyor belts. An hour and 30 minutes of production time has
been gained through the use of the Vibro Air-Operated Transporter, eliminating
intermittent down time to manually remove scrap. Stanley-Vidmar
used the Model 320 to move 2 trays and the Model 450 (a weight
capacity of 125 pounds) to move 4 trays. Stanley-Vidmar has added
rollers to stabilize extra long trays to further customize their
Vibro Air-Operated Transporter system in meeting their needs.
Harley-Davidson Inc., Milwaukee, WI
Harley-Davidson is using the Model 320 Vibro Air-Operated Transporter with
1 tray to speed up production on a single punching operation.
Parts are removed from beneath the die so the operator keeps
feeding the stock without stopping to remove finished parts.
Distex Industries, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Distex Industries has uniquely adapted the Vibro Air-Operated Transporter
for their needs. For quick die changes, the Vibro Air-Operated Transporter
is mounted with 2 3/8 inch bolts. Their installation will handle
up to 4 trays (in any position) on an adjustable rail secured
with a wing nut. Extra long trays can be passed through the rails
and rested on the bearing support which is removable for easy
access to the die.
Whirlpool Corporation, Laverne, TN
Whirlpool has installed the newly released Model 850 Vibro Air
Transporter. They have mounted it to a carriage frame, which
can be removed with 2 toe pins for quick die changes. The oscillating
motion carries scrap to a conveniently located container.
Diehl Dairy Company, Coalport, PA
Diehl Dairy uses the Model 450 Vibro Air-Operated Transporter to address
a reoccurring packaging problem. The Transporter's shifting motion
is used to pre-settle 50 pound bags of dairy formula to ensure
secure packing and shipping.
Vibro Worldwide
The Vibro Air-Operated Transporter has been installed and is operational
in several European factories, including such companies as Bahco
Tools, Sweden and Raufoos Ammunition, Norway.
