We have been involved in projects within food factories requiring the development of equipment to provide a refined and improved vibration to achieve consistent settling or drainage of a product.

The 1st stage is to analyse the existing vibration pattern by way of visual/photographic inspection and accelerometer measurement.

The 2nd stage is to build a prototype to determine and demonstrate precisely the vibration required to give the optimum process conditions.

The 3rd stage is to specify the vibrator unit which is capable of giving the required amplitude and frequency.

The final and most important stage is to design a structure that can effectively transmit the energy from the vibrator unit through to the product.

In the process described above there would be 3 parties involved, the Customer and their Process Engineers, the Vibrator manufacturer, and Epsilon Engineering as main co-ordinator/system builder. (If the vibration analysis is particularly complicated there may be a need to bring in an additional party - an institute such as a University Engineering Department.)
