LOCATING ELECTRIC VIBRATING MOTORS ON HOPPERS & BINS

The majority of applications require only one (1) BE electric vibrating motor. Figure 1 illustrates the most commonly recommended mounting for a single unit on a bin or hopper, attaching the motor 1/3 up the sloped wall section.

Applications requiring more than one vibrating motor generally involve larger hoppers or more difficult flowing materials. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the mounting of 2 and 3 vibrating motors, respectively. More than 3 vibrating motors are rarely used on a particular hopper or bin.
