I need a way to clean expanded clay pellets in a cannabis production facility with minimal water. I think vibration and tumbling will work. We clean and sterilize as many as 3 tons of clay pellets per week. What do you recommend?

We are a producer of artisan cheeses. Many of these are produced as 10-pound waxed wheels that are then cut into various sized wedges prior to packaging. The cutting is done using a hydraulically-driven harp that is driven down through the cheese wheel and the harp contains anywhere from 4 to 20 fixed partitions (knife segments). This system works well except that it has a tendency to fracture the wax and damage some of the harder cheeses, creating a lot of unusable pieces. This damaging effect increases as the number of knife segments increases. Since the majority of our production utilizes a 20-partition knife, the losses and rework are significant. I believe that mounting a turbine vibrator to the side of the cutting harp may reduce or even eliminate the damage. What do you think?

Asked in: Vibration

­Any way to reduce product waste and decrease rework is worth the effort. Our NCT rotary turbine line of vibrators would transmit the perfect amount of vibration through the cutting harp to eliminate the damage caused by increasing the number… Learn More

I am working on a project that needs a vibration bed. The application is a cleaning system for small parts with internal machined passageways. I will be pumping a cleaning solution through the part and need to vibrate all small particles loose inside the part. Do you have a suggested product for this?

Asked in: Vibration

Agitating parts is best left to an automated solution in order to reduce the risk of personnel injury. This is where a vibratory compaction table that is integrated into your manufacturing line comes into play. Given the small size of parts… Learn More

We’re trying to minimize product loss and waste by placing an inverted container in a vibrating wire basket to minimize residue left in the container. What’s the best product for this?

Asked in: Vibration

Minimizing residue left in a container is one of the easiest ways to reduce wasted product and increase profits. Mounting one of our NCT series of pneumatic rotary turbine vibrators to your wire basket would allow for an efficient transfer… Learn More
