Our Products

At Deca Vibrator Industries, Inc., we offer a wide range of material handling solutions serving dozens of industries around the world. Explore our products below:

Bulk Materials

For more than 35 years, Deca has been analyzing and remedying material handling problems across a wide range of:

  • Substances
  • Industries
  • Application environments

Understanding the characteristics of each helps us deliver the best overall technology for your application. The following are the types of bulk materials Deca Vibrator Industries, Inc. can help with:

Fine Powders

Deca delivers multiple ways to keep fine dry powders free-flowing throughout your operations. Each solution can be tailored to fight the typical problems encountered with such powdered materials, including:

  • Bridging
  • Arching
  • Rat holing
  • Clinging
  • Compaction

High-frequency, low-amplitude vibration typical in rotary electric and pneumatic vibrators agitates fine dry powders to keep them flowing freely. Low-frequency, high-amplitude pneumatic or electric impactors and hammers can clear virtually every spec of clinging powder from bin and hopper walls. This is especially helpful for applications such as transfer hoppers or weigh-batch hoppers where it is important to release the full measured contents.

Material flow aids and bulk material handling aids, such as Deca BA Series bin activators, vibrating bin aerators and the Deca Air-Slide Flow Aid system, enable you to vibrate the material instead of the vessel holding or to aerate materials clinging to the walls, helping them flow freely.

Pneumatic Whips, the Cardox CO2 gas expansion system and the Deca Air-Slide Flow Aid System offer multiple solutions to remediate heavy compaction of fine powders and other materials within large silos or hoppers.

Coarse/Angular Grandules

The more coarse the material, the greater the likelihood of needing higher amplitude vibration to break up clogs, prevent them from re-forming and keep the material flowing. 

Adjustable eccentric weights in rotary electric vibrators, adjustable air pressures in rotary pneumatic vibrators and regulation of flow rates in hydraulic vibrators are all ways that Deca Vibrator Industries, Inc. gives you the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. You can start initially with the minimal amplitude/frequency required and then ramp up as conditions become more problematic.

Sticky Materials

Some consistently sticky materials, such as sugar, adhesives and pharmaceutical excipients, always demand special handling considerations. Others, such as organic/hygroscopic materials, can become more of an issue as they absorb moisture due to atmospheric humidity or condensation triggered by heating and cooling cycles. Deca Vibrator Industries, Inc. offers multiple units to deal with either condition.

Variable force, frequency and amplitude adjustments available in various of our vibrator models allow you to fine-tune vibration profiles according to the substances or environmental conditions in your material handling applications.

Pneumatic material flow aids, such as vibrating bin aerators, fluidizing pads and fluidization nozzles, deliver aeration at key locations to break up the adhesion, bridging or clogging of such materials within bins, hoppers, silos and conveyors.

Deca also offers multiple ways to remediate already clogged bins, silos and hoppers from the outside of the vessel. Each offers a quicker, easier and safer way to relieve clogs, with minimal costly downtime and without requiring workers to enter the vessel.

Concrete and Refractory Materials

Our solutions can also help you create desirable compaction to improve product quality in concrete casting applications and in refractory molds for foundry casting applications. Based on the application and the nature of the materials to be compacted, vibratory forces can be applied in linear, elliptical or rotary patterns. These abilities help eliminate air from wet concrete and condense aggregates for consistent high-quality pre-stressed or cast concrete production. They also ensure solid compaction of refractory materials for consistent quality in foundry casting applications.

Based on the application and the nature of material difffernt vibratory forces can be applied.
