S9180 Vibro Flow

The vibraflow is an air blade extraction dynamic system for emptying silos and hoppers. It's easy to install and can be applied inside or outside silos and hoppers.

Vibraflow device prevents sticking of the materials inside the container to the silo wall material.

It increases the effect of gravity with the container wall considerably reduces friction between the product.
Flour, cement, feldspar, soda, kaolin, aluminum, titanium dioxide products, etc; discharged quickly and homogenously.

What Is the S9180 TORK-VF Series Vibra Flow Vibrator?

The Definitive Solution for Material Flow Problems in Silos and Hoppers

One of the most common challenges in industrial silos, hoppers, and storage tanks is material adhesion to vessel walls, bridging, and irregular material flow. This issue is particularly common with powdered and granular products such as cement, flour, fly ash, kaolin, bentonite, feldspar, and similar bulk materials, often leading to production interruptions and significant financial losses.

The S9180 TORK-VF Series Vibra Flow Vibrator is an innovative flow-assistance solution designed to optimize material discharge, making silo emptying processes faster, more reliable, and completely uninterrupted.

What Is a Vibra Flow Vibrator?

A Vibra Flow Vibrator is a pneumatic flow-aid device used to improve the movement of bulk solids stored in silos and hoppers. By utilizing compressed air, it creates a thin air layer between the stored material and the silo wall.

This air cushion significantly reduces friction, allowing the material to flow freely under its own weight. As a result, material flow becomes continuous and residue inside the silo is minimized.

How Does the S9180 TORK-VF Series Work?

When compressed air with a minimum pressure of 1.5 bar is supplied to the system, a dual-action flow enhancement mechanism is activated:

Air Cushion Effect

Compressed air spreads along the inner wall of the silo, preventing material from sticking to the surface.

Self-Cleaning Function

When the silo is completely emptied, the unit generates a slight vibration that removes residual dust from its surface, preparing it for the next operating cycle.

Benefits of This Operating Principle

Prevention of Bridging

Prevents material from forming an arch or bridge at the discharge outlet.

Elimination of Ratholing

Stops material from flowing only through the center while remaining stagnant along the silo walls.

Complete Discharge

Eliminates dead zones inside the silo and minimizes material loss.

Continuous Production

Prevents unplanned shutdowns caused by material blockages and flow interruptions.
