Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MILLENNIUM from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Millennium's aluminum and stainless steel pneumatic vibrators?
Millennium offers pneumatic vibrators in both aluminum and stainless steel constructions. The stainless steel models, identified by an 'SS' in the part number (e.g., MLTSS-130, MHISS-190), are designed for chemical resistance and are suitable for washdown environments or exposure to corrosive materials. Aluminum models (e.g., MLT-250, MHI-190) are lighter and typically used in general industrial applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. Both types use the same turbine and ball mechanism and are available in various force and frequency ratings.
What are the typical applications for Millennium pneumatic vibrators?
Millennium pneumatic vibrators are used to promote the flow of bulk solids in hoppers, chutes, bins, and conveyors. They help prevent material bridging, rat-holing, and blockages. Common industries include chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and mining. The stainless steel models are often chosen for applications involving corrosive chemicals or frequent washdowns, while aluminum models are used in drier, less corrosive environments.
What is the air consumption of Millennium pneumatic vibrators?
Air consumption varies by model. For example, the MLTSS-190HT consumes 7.5 cfm at 60 psi. Smaller models like the MLTSS-130 may consume less. It is important to check the specific datasheet for the model you are considering, as air consumption affects the sizing of compressed air supply lines and the overall operating cost. Millennium vibrators are designed to operate efficiently within their specified pressure ranges, typically 60-80 psi.
Can Millennium pneumatic vibrators be used in continuous operation?
Yes, several Millennium models are rated for continuous operation. For instance, the MLT-320 and MLT-250 are designed for continuous duty. However, not all models are rated for continuous use; some are intended for intermittent operation. It is essential to verify the duty rating in the product specifications before selecting a vibrator for applications requiring constant vibration. Continuous-duty models are often used in processes where material flow must be maintained without interruption.
What NPT inlet sizes are available for Millennium pneumatic vibrators?
Millennium pneumatic vibrators are available with NPT inlet sizes of 1/8 in, 1/4 in, and 3/8 in. The inlet size generally corresponds to the vibrator's size and force output. Smaller models like the MLTSS-130 and MHISS-130 use 1/8 in NPT, while larger models such as the MLT-320 and MLTSS-320 use 3/8 in NPT. Some models also have a separate exhaust port, such as the MHISS-130 with a 1/4 in NPT exhaust. Always confirm the port sizes when designing piping connections.
