GT Series Golden Turbine Vibrators require no air lubrication, and feature high frequency vibration, low noise output, and lower air consumption than other types of pneumatic roatry vibrators. They are ideal for applications in the food & pharmaceutical industries, and other applications involving fine, dry powders that respond well to high frequency vibration.

All GT Vibrators are constructed of lightweight extruded aluminum alloy bodies with hard coated turbine wheels and endplates, and pre-lubricated matched bearings for longer life. Standard GT Models use brass weights in the turbine; GT Models ending in "S" use heavy metal weights in the turbine for a lower frequency.

Houston Vibrator offers 17 different models in the GT Series, with centrifugal forces to over 2300 pounds.

Turbine vibrators use compressed air to turn an unbalanced turbine wheel producing rotary vibration. The more unbalanced the wheel and the faster it turns the greater the centrifugal force produced. In general, properly designed turbine vibrators are much more quiet and efficient than other types of pneumatic rotary vibrators (i.e. ball or roller vibrators).

Applications:

• Global turbine vibrators are extremely efficient; develop very high RPM and very high frequency vibration. This makes them well suited for moving very fine materials such as dry sand, cement, fine clay, coal by-products, dust, sugar, powder, spices, flour, fine chemicals, and so on.
• Silver Sonic Turbine® vibrators are highly efficient and can operate on just 5 or 10 PSI. This makes them a very practical solution where air resources are limited. Silver Sonic Turbine® are great for food processing, pharmaceutical, and other "clean environment" applications because there is no paint to chip or peel and no oily mist produced, since they require no lubrication.
• It is easy to tune a turbine vibrator to the material being handled. When the frequency of the vibration matches the natural frequency of the material, enhanced flow can be achieved with a minimum of force. This can be achieved by simply increasing the speed gradually (increasing the air flow) until material flow is achieved. This way you obtain the maximum result with the minimum of air consumption and vibrator wear. Once the material moves freely, the vibrator can be turned off until it is needed again.

Features:

• Produces Uniform, Directional Flow.
• High Frequency and High Amplitude Vibration.
• Highly Efficient - Revolutionary, patented turbine design will run on just 5 PSI using 1-3 CFM. More efficient than other pneumatic vibrators including other turbine vibrators. At a given pressure, Silver Sonic Turbine® vibrators can produce the same force, with twice as much frequency, while consuming less than 1/5 the amount of air, as a comparatively sized ball vibrator.
• Versatile - Easy to control force and frequency by adjusting air supply.
• Clean Operation - Aluminum housing will not flake or peel. No oily mist because non-lubricated air is used.
• Small, Lightweight - Super light aluminum housing.
• Quiet Operation - Specially engineered one-piece aluminum housing with unique bolthole placement and unprecedented new turbine wheel help maintain low dB's within OSHA guidelines.
• Simple to Mount - Mounting bolts & washers included with vibrator. Optional mount kit speeds the process.
• Easy Maintenance & Repair - High-speed bearings with special grease are designed for long life at high RPM's with no lubrication. TVRK repair kit makes bearing replacement easy.
• Inexpensive to purchase - Mounting bolts, washers and muffler included with vibrator.
• Five-Year Warranty.

Operating Requirements:

• Filtered air. No lubrication required.
• 5 PSI. 1-11.5 CFM.
• Maximum Ambient Temperature = 180°F (82°C).

Performance — the high speed and force you need for your job
Reliability — starts every time
Quiet Operation — patented design eliminates noise normally associated with high frequency pneumatic models
Efficiency — patented Air Saver design recycles air

In VIBCO’s MODEL SVRFS “SILENT” units, 80-85 dB, the rotor in this bearing-less vibrator spins silently around the shaft instead of spinning and noisily hitting the shaft as in conventional units. In VIBCO’s units the exhausting air is also forced through a muffler pad and back over the rotor, further dampening any noise from exhausting air.  The patented air saver design will save air because all the air is not exhausted with every cycle, making them “start every time".  The patented “wear plate” design will prevent end plate wear and cut down on costly maintenance, loss of power, and premature failure.

When harnessed by proper mounting of the turbine vibrator, this rotary vibration is transferred through the hopper or bin wall to the material within. As the material vibrates it is displaced from the hopper wall reducing friction and allowing gravity to restore material flow. Proper mounting also disperses the rotary vibration over a large area producing uniform material flow. Since rotary vibration is directional, material will be encouraged to flow in the direction of the rotating turbine wheel.

Turboviber® vibrators operate at relatively high RPM producing high frequency vibration. They also produce large amounts of force. This makes them well suited for compacting or unloading large quantities of fine materials, such as sand or cement, from railcars, batch hoppers, or storage bins. Excellent for use with wet fine material. The high frequency excites the fine particles and the high force moves the large mass

These same properties make Turboviber® vibrators highly useful for consolidating concrete. It takes this unique combination of frequency and force to remove air bubbles, disperse the large aggregates, and ensure the cement fines are evenly distributed to coat the aggregates. Proper use of vibration means less water is needed, which produces stronger concrete. Air bubble removal and even cement-aggregate distribution produces a smoother finish. Turboviber® vibrators make pouring concrete quicker and easier without harming the forms. They are commonly found on battery molds, compaction tables, tilt tables, and a large variety of forms and molds for girders, tees, columns, culverts, vaults, containers, septic tanks, concrete pipe, etc.
