Latest vibrating tables from Martin Engineering
Cougar vibrating unit designed to provide efficient compaction of bulk solids
MARTIN Engineering have introduced their Cougar vibrating tables designed to settle a broad range of bulk materials, helping packagers and manufacturers compact a variety of bulk solids with different densities and particle sizes. All models are equipped with a variable-frequency drive and digital readout for consistent vibration cycles.
Originally developed for use in packaging applications, the rugged industrial tables are now finding utility in manufacturing precast countertops, architectural panels, pavers and other concrete products.
The heavy-duty construction and reliability of the units are also proving to be key in product testing applications, as engineers employ the tables to develop consistent, repeatable durability testing for components and finished designs. The vibrating tables are equipped with Cougar electric vibrators, an industry-leading brand that has earned a reputation for performance and longevity through six decades of industrial service. Cougar Vibration were acquired by Martin Engineering in 2010.
Available in working heights of 30in and 36in for operator convenience, Cougar vibrating tables feature pneumatic isolation for quiet, efficient operation. Standard designs can be ordered in 24in x 24in, 36in x 36in and 36in x 72in sizes, all with an adjustable table lip which is easily removable.
‘With the variable-frequency drive, these tables are extremely versatile,’ commented Larry Horre, account manager at Martin Engineering. ‘They’re flexible enough to use on a wide range of applications and bulk solids. A single regulator makes adjustments easy and ensures equal pressure in each isolator.’
Depending on the application, the tables can be equipped with a pair of counter-rotating vibrators to suit specific bulk materials. Martin Engineering offer all models on casters or with bolt-ready feet, in standard voltages from 115V to 575V.
