About CLEVELAND VIBRATOR CO.

Cleveland Vibrator Co. is a manufacturer of pneumatic and mechanical vibration equipment, with a product history dating to the early 20th century. The company's catalog centers on air-powered piston vibrators, ball vibrators, roller vibrators, turbine vibrators, and mechanical sieve shakers, along with mounting accessories and replacement parts. These products are used to promote material flow, prevent bridging and rat-holing, settle and compact bulk solids, and perform particle-size analysis in laboratories and production environments. The line is commonly specified in industries handling powders, aggregates, pellets, and granular chemicals, where reliable discharge from hoppers, bins, chutes, and silos is a recurring maintenance concern.

3G Electric supplies Cleveland Vibrator Co. equipment globally, with 69 SKUs currently listed across vibrators, sieve shakers, and related parts. The piston vibrator range includes end-mount and side-mount configurations with air inlets from 1/8 in NPT to 1/4 in NPT, operating pressures typically between 60 psi and 80 psi, and force outputs from 100 lb to 600 lb. Vibration frequencies span roughly 7,600 to 16,000 vibrations per minute, with air consumption from about 2 cfm to 6.3 cfm depending on model. Stainless-steel variants such as the VM-25 SS are available for environments where corrosion resistance is required. Mechanical sieve shakers are offered in analog vibration types with 12-inch and 15-inch overall heights, suitable for standard sieve stacks used in particle size analysis.

For technical buyers, the relevant selection variables are mounting orientation, available air pressure and volume, required force and frequency, and the material and geometry of the bin or chute being vibrated. Cleveland Vibrator Co. publishes performance data at specific pressure and flow conditions, which allows engineers to match a unit to a known discharge problem rather than oversizing. The sieve shakers are specified by overall height and sieving action, which affects the number of sieve trays that can be accommodated and the reproducibility of separation results.

3G Electric supports the Cleveland Vibrator Co. line by stocking a cross-section of piston vibrators, sieve shakers, and replacement parts, and by providing spec-level product data for each SKU. Buyers can compare vibration frequency, force output, air consumption, inlet size, and mounting type across models before requesting a quote. Because the catalog includes both current and legacy part numbers, maintenance teams can often identify a direct replacement or a functionally equivalent unit without changing mounting hardware or air supply infrastructure. For international orders, 3G Electric handles export documentation and shipping coordination, so the same specification and procurement process applies regardless of plant location.

Common Applications

  • Bulk solids handling — Cleveland Vibrator Co. piston vibrators such as the 2210125 and 2210100 mounted on hoppers and bins to promote discharge of powders and aggregates.
  • Laboratory particle size analysis — Cleveland Vibrator Co. mechanical sieve shakers VJ1212-110V and VJ1515-110V used for separation of powders and granular materials.
  • Food and chemical processing — stainless-steel piston vibrator VM-25 SS used where washdown or corrosion resistance is required on chutes and small bins.
  • Mining and aggregate processing — end-mount piston vibrators with 400 lb to 600 lb force used to prevent bridging in chutes and transfer points.
  • Pharmaceutical and fine powder handling — low-flow piston vibrators such as the VM-38 at 2.1 cfm and 80 psi used to maintain flow in small hoppers and feeders.
  • Foundry and metalcasting — piston vibrators used to settle and compact sand in molds and to assist material flow from sand silos and hoppers.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about CLEVELAND VIBRATOR CO. from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the Cleveland Vibrator Co. VM-25 and VM-38 piston vibrators?

Both are end-mount general purpose piston vibrators with a 1/4 in hose connection and 100 lb force output. The VM-25 operates at 13,500 vibrations per minute and 2 cfm at 80 psi, while the VM-38 operates at 10,600 vibrations per minute and 2.1 cfm at 80 psi. The higher frequency of the VM-25 suits finer materials or smaller bins where rapid, lower-amplitude vibration is effective. The VM-38's lower frequency may be preferred where a slightly slower action is acceptable. Selection depends on the material characteristics and the response of the bin or chute structure.

What air pressure and flow do Cleveland Vibrator Co. piston vibrators require?

Requirements vary by model. Examples from the 3G Electric catalog include the 2210125 at 6.3 cfm and 60 psi, the 2210050 at 3.8 cfm and 60 psi, the 2210100 at 5.0 cfm and 60 psi, and the VM-25 and VM-38 at approximately 2 cfm and 80 psi. Inlet sizes range from 1/8 in NPT to 1/4 in NPT. Plant air systems should be evaluated for both pressure and available flow at the point of use, since undersized supply lines can reduce force output and frequency below published ratings.

Are Cleveland Vibrator Co. sieve shakers available in different heights?

Yes. The mechanical sieve shakers listed by 3G Electric include analog vibration models with 12-inch and 15-inch overall heights, corresponding to part numbers VJ1212-110V and VJ1515-110V. The height generally relates to the number and diameter of sieve trays the unit can hold. Both models use vibration as the sieving action and are intended for particle size analysis and material separation of powders, aggregates, and granular materials. Selection depends on the sieve stack configuration and the sample volume required by the test method.

What is the difference between a Cleveland Vibrator Co. piston vibrator and a ball or roller vibrator?

Piston vibrators use a reciprocating piston driven by compressed air to produce a linear force, typically at frequencies from about 7,600 to 16,000 vibrations per minute and force outputs from 100 lb to 600 lb in the models listed by 3G Electric. Ball and roller vibrators use a rotating mass to generate vibration and are generally used where a rotary or orbital vibration pattern is acceptable. Piston units are often chosen for direct mounting on bins, chutes, and hoppers where a defined linear force and frequency are needed. The correct type depends on the material, the structure, and the desired flow behavior.

Can Cleveland Vibrator Co. piston vibrators be used in corrosive or washdown environments?

Some models are available in stainless steel. The VM-25 SS is an end-mount piston vibrator with the same performance as the standard VM-25: 13,500 vibrations per minute, 100 lb force, 2 cfm at 80 psi, and a 1/4 in hose connection. Stainless-steel construction is relevant where moisture, washdown, or mildly corrosive atmospheres are present. For aggressive chemicals or hazardous locations, buyers should confirm material compatibility and any required enclosure or certification with the manufacturer's published data before specifying.

How do I select a Cleveland Vibrator Co. piston vibrator for a hopper or bin?

Start with the material characteristics, bin geometry, and the discharge problem. Note the available air pressure and flow at the mounting point. Then compare models by force output, frequency, air consumption, inlet size, and mounting type. For example, a 600 lb force unit such as the 2210125 at 7,600 vibrations per minute may suit a larger bin or denser material, while a 100 lb unit such as the VM-25 at 13,500 vibrations per minute may be appropriate for smaller vessels or finer powders. Mounting location and structural stiffness also affect performance, so field adjustment of pressure or mounting position is common.
