Pipe and Chute Vibrator
NAVCO® Pipe and Chute Vibrators are engineered specifically to address bulk material flow issues in pipes and chutes. Whether its material plugging or sticking, NAVCO Pipe and Chute Vibrators provide the vibration necessary to Get Your Material Flowing!
Time Tested Industrial Vibrators
Introduced in the late 1980’s, Pipe and Chute Vibrators have kept material flowing across the USA and around the world, improving industrial processes for generations.
Deployed Across Multiple Industries
Agriculture, Energy Generation, Construction, Pharmaceutical, Mining, Food Processing, Metal Manufacturing, and many more.
Pneumatic or Electric Options to Fit Your Application
Available with pneumatic or electric drive options, Pipe and Chute Vibrators are easily incorporated into industrial processes using existing utilities.
Keeping a Wide Variety of Material Flowing
Coal Grain Processed Aggregates, Bio-Mass, Chemicals, Powders, Flour, Candy, Hemp, Food, Baby Formula, Battery Powders, Radiator Dirt, Cereal, and many more.
Eliminate Pipe Plugging
Restore material flow in pipes and chutes by using vibration to reduce material strength and sliding friction, resulting in the elimination of bridging, rat holing, and plugging.
Safety
Often times unsafe practices, such swinging heavy objects overhead or from elevated positions, are used to restore flow. These practices can lead to an increase in loss time injuries and damaged equipment. NAVCO Pipe and Chute Vibrators eliminate these practices, enabling a safer work environment for employees and equipment.
Process Reliability
Downtime and process upsets can have a negative impact on productivity and profitability. Pipe and Chute Vibrators eliminate process interruptions due to lack of material flow.
No Welding Required
Bolt-on design requires no welding for installation, eliminating the need for hot work permits. Clamp style assembly allows for easy relocation of the vibrator to meet changing process conditions.
Optimize Processes
NAVCO Pipe and Chute Vibrators can be tied into existing PLC/DCS systems, or NAVCO ET 2.00 timers to create an automated vibration system. Utilizing an automated system ensures the vibrator operates when needed and prevent material plugging before it becomes an issue. Automation also reduces utility consumption by limiting use to only when it is required.
