Vibration Motors and Vibration Technology in Various Industries
Vibration motors are indispensable in multiple industries due to their versatility. Not only do they ensure optimum performance, they provide essential solutions for efficient material handling, sorting and processing as part of industrial processes.
Mini Case Study – Vibration System for Blanching
An efficient, high-quality blanching process was needed for a ready meal production line. Our solution was to provide a conveyor belt with a vibration system to loosen and blanch the vegetables for the ready meals. The VFD conveyor ensures optimal processing speeds for perfect results.
Food Industry
In addition to vibration systems for blanching, industrial vibration motors are used for a multitude of other purposes in the food industry. They drive vibrating tables and sieves for sorting, sieving and dewatering of foodstuffs such as grains, seeds and vegetables.
They are also used in mixing equipment to dose and mix ingredients with precision.
Vibratory Motors in Bulk and Break-Bulk Industries
Vibration motors are widely used in the bulk and break-bulk industries. They drive conveyors and move coal, ore, sand and gravel as part of construction and mining operations. They also control sieving systems for a uniform distribution of materials. Vibrating feeders driven by electric vibratory motors ensure precise dosing and transport of bulk materials.
Chemical Industry
Vibration motors also play a crucial role in the chemical industry. They are used in mixing equipment to homogenize powders, granules and liquids. They also drive vibratory tables to test chemical products’ vibration resistance and durability.
Everything you need to know about vibration motors
What is a vibration motor?
A vibration motor, also called a vibrator motor or industrial vibrator, is an electric motor built with an unbalanced rotating mass that generates controlled vibration.
BEGE supplies Venanzetti vibration motors, which are used for moving, classifying, dosing, and processing material with vibrations rather than rotational movement. These motors are essential for moving product on conveyors, sieves, and tables. Four different series are offered by BEGE, available in both single-phase and three-phase versions.
What are the main benefits of industrial vibration motors?
Industrial vibration motors improve production efficiency, consistency, and accuracy in processes where there is a continuous flow of material. Venanzetti motors feature large steel shafts with high-resistance and specially designed bearings rated for continuous use at 100% centrifugal force, ensuring a long operating life under constant load.
The weight regulation system with a 0-100% scale allows precise adjustment of vibration level according to the task. Labyrinth seals and stator, protected by a vacuum or drip protection system, ensure a long motor lifetime, while Class F insulation and IP66 protection add resistance to high temperatures and dust.
What is a miniature vibration motor and when should I use one?
A miniature vibration motor is characterized by small size and light weight, designed for applications with small surfaces and low vibration or centrifugal force requirements. BEGE offers a series of miniature motors; the VV Micro.
This series is built from lightweight aluminium and covers a power range of just 0.024 to 0.045 kW, far below the standard VV series. These tiny vibration motors are used where standard industrial vibrators are too bulky, like small dosing units or compact sorting mechanisms. Despite the smaller scale, the VV Micro series still runs at a fixed 3,000 rpm, matching the higher end of the standard series’ speed range.
What is centrifugal force in a vibration motor? What range do BEGE's motors cover?
Centrifugal force is the outward force generated by a vibration motor’s rotating unbalanced mass, and it determines how strong and effective the resulting vibration is for a given application.
The range of centrifugal force of standard VV and ATEX certified VVE series is from 311 N to 245,000 N and is suitable for dosing and handling of bulk materials. The range of CSA certified VVC series is also from 311 to 245,000 N for North American market.
Matching centrifugal force to the application is critical: insufficient centrifugal force will fail to move the material while excessive force may wear or even damage the equipment.
What are ATEX and CSA vibration motors, and when are they required?
ATEX and CSA certified motors are certified to be used in potentially explosive environments. Different markets require different certificates. BEGE’s VVE series has ATEX certification for Europe for applications with explosion risks due to flammable gas or dust (II2D/II2G), while the VVC series has CSA certification for the same purposes for North American market.
Either certification is required whenever a vibration motor operates in an environment where flammable gas or combustible dust could otherwise be ignited by standard electrical equipment.
Comparison of Venanzetti vibration motor series
| Series | Best suited for | Power Range | Centrifugal Force | Speed (rpm) | Certification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VV | General industrial use, dust-explosive II2D areas | 0.08–18.3 kW | 311–245,000 N | 750–3,600 | II2D |
| VV Micro | Small surfaces, low vibration, miniature applications | 0.024–0.045 kW | 39–638 N | 3,000 | None specified |
| VVE | European market, gas/dust explosive atmospheres | 0.17–7.9 kW | 311–245,000 N | 750–3,600 | ATEX (II2D/II2G) |
| VVC | North American market, gas/dust explosive atmospheres | 0.18–7.0 HP | 311–245,000 N | 750–3,600 | CSA |
Where are vibration motors commonly used?
Vibration motors are widely used in the food industry, bulk and break-bulk handling, and the chemical industry where material needs to move, sort, or mix without using conveyors.
In food processing vibration motors drive vibrating tables and sieves for sorting, sieving and dewatering grains, seeds, vegetables, and also perform dosing and mixing of ingredients in mixing machines.
In the bulk handling industry, vibration motors drive conveyors with coal, ore, sand, and gravel; control sieving to provide uniform material distribution in construction and mining.
In chemical industry vibration motors mix powders, granules, liquids, and drive vibratory tables for vibration resistance testing of products.
What features make Venanzetti vibration motors reliable?
Venanzetti vibration motors are built to ensure long-term reliability and high performance under continuous operation. They feature oversized steel shafts and bearings resistant to 100% of centrifugal force and therefore they can operate continuously without additional load. Labyrinth seals protect internal parts of the motors, and the vacuum or drip lubrication system increases their durability.
How do I select the right vibration motor for my application?
Selecting the right vibration motor starts with defining the required centrifugal force. BEGE supplies vibrator motors varying from 39 N (VV Micro series) to 245,000 N (VV, VVE, VVC series).
Check whether the installation environment requires certification: ATEX for European market, CSA for North American market, or neither for non-explosive installations.
Then consider power requirements and speed of the installation: 0.024 kW – 18.3 kW, and 750 – 3,600 rpm.
Finally, factor in whether single-phase or three-phase power is available on site, since four different series are offered with 2, 4, 6, and 8 poles.
Can vibration motors be combined with other drive components?
Yes, vibration motors offered by BEGE can be combined with motors and gearboxes to build an integrated custom drive and vibration solution. This is useful when a machine needs standard rotational drive and vibration functionality within a single, coordinated system rather than two separate installations. For example, BEGE provided a vibration system for a conveyor belt in ready-meal line to loosen and blanch vegetables with the required speed.
