What Does a Vibrating Table Do?
2 min read

A vibrating table is used to facilitate the compaction of materials in containers, boxes, and bulk bags. Its vibrating action helps materials and products nest closely and settle, reducing the product volume to a minimum. This can minimise container size and lower transportation costs.

Features of Vibration Tables

Vibration tables can be designed with variable displacement up to a maximum of 30mm, adjustable in real-time using electronic controls. The frequency can also be varied between 0 and 200Hz, depending on the specific requirements.

How to Measure Vibration on a Table

Vibration is commonly measured using a ceramic piezoelectric sensor or accelerometer. Most accelerometers utilise the piezoelectric effect, where certain types of crystals generate a voltage when stressed.

Benefits and Applications of a Vibration Table

A vibration table is a robust and accurate instrument with various applications. It is used to assess the damage caused by repetitive movement or vibration of materials and boxes during transportation. Ensuring the durability of packaging is crucial to providing the best quality to clients.

Key Features

  • Ease of Operation: The vibration table is user-friendly and simple to operate.
  • Durable Construction: It features a powder-coated mild steel body that is corrosion-resistant.
  • Fixed Amplitude and Variable Frequency: The table has a fixed amplitude with an adjustable frequency.
  • Adjustable Swivel Angle: The instrument includes a unique feature to set the swivel angle.

Compliance and Standards

As a premier manufacturer of vibration tables, the instrument adheres to various test standards, including ASTM D999, TAPPI T-17, and IS 7028 (part II). This ensures the vibration table is essential for testing whether boxes can withstand extreme pressure and vibration during transportation.
