- Horizontal and/or vertical vibration forces to compact dry, unbonded sand by varying energy inputs.
- Greater system flexibility because vibration amplitude is programmable from near zero to the maximum of the system’s capacity in vertical and/or horizontal direction.
- Vertical and horizontal motions can be phased with respect to each other through electronic feedback that controls timing of eccentric weights.
- “On-the-fly” changes in vibration direction, amplitude and relative phasing during compaction cycles.
- Greater flexibility in program recipes due to capability of rapidly changing flask vibration forces at all levels including instantaneous “vibration on” to “vibration off”.
- Shorter compaction cycles due to directed energy effectiveness.
- Reduced downtime because design incorporates fewer mechanical parts, easier replacement of drive parts, electrical control vs. mechanical linkages and longer fatigue life of components.
- Consistent vibration amplitude, direction and phase in all parts of the flask is enhanced by symmetrically designed features of the compaction unit.
- Components manufactured from a heavy fabricated steel and machined for proper system integration.
- Advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques utilized in designing for prolonged component life and predictable system performance.
