More Than Just Vibrators…Total Material Handling Solutions

Beyond the many quality products available from Deca Vibrator Industries, an added advantage is more than 35 years of problem-solving expertise gained from
working on a wide range of material handling and industrial applications. 

Wherever you are in your evaluation process, speaking with an experienced Deca representative can give your better insights for making your optimum choice.

• DIRECT REPLACEMENT – Instead of simply replacing a worn or broken vibrator unit with another identical unit, take a few minutes to review your
  options with a Deca bulk material-handling specialist. You might discover how to achieve the desired results with a more efficient or a longer lasting solution.
• REDESIGNING A BETTER SOLUTION – If you need to resolve specific problems in your existing material handling process, let Deca show you how to
  diagnose the potential shortcomings of the current approach. We will evaluate all relevant aspects of your current installation, identify and quantify the
  physical challenges, and make recommendations to address key facets of your operation. You can discover not only multiple new options, but also the reasons behind choosing the one that’s best for your needs.
• MATCHING INSIGHTS TO OUTCOMES IN NEW APPLICATIONS – Bigger is not always better. Proper sizing and an appropriate balance of force,
  frequency, and amplitude go a long way toward delivering more consistent and efficient performance in new applications. A Deca representative will show how our experience with your particular bulk material characteristics, operating conditions, and different modes of vibration or agitation can point you in a
  better direction.

WHATEVER THE MATERIAL…

For more than 35 years, Deca has been analyzing and remedying material handling problems across a wide range of substances, industries, and application
environments. Understanding the characteristics of each helps us deliver the best overall technology for your application.

FINE POWDERS – Deca delivers multiple ways to keep fine dry powders – such as cement, gypsum, flour, starches, and other food or pharmaceutical powders –
free flowing throughout your operations. Each solution can be tailored to fight the typical problems of bridging, arching, rat holing, clinging, or compaction
encountered with such powdered materials.

• 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 of the
  hopper.
• 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, to help them flow freely.
• Pneumatic Whips, Power Lances, 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 GRANULES – 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 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 gives you 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 offers multiple units to deal with either condition:

• Variable force, frequency, and amplitude adjustments available in various Deca 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 MATERIAL COMPACTION – Deca vibrator 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, condense
aggregates for consistent high-quality pre-stressed or cast concrete production, and ensure solid compaction of refractory materials for consistent quality in
foundry casting applications.

ENGINEER A BETTER SOLUTION

Even the simplest vibrator decision merits an appropriate understanding of the vessel, material characteristics, process, and operating requirements or
conditions. But in particularly troublesome applications, demand in-depth engineering evaluation and calculations to account for extreme circumstances,
physical demands, and an appropriate margin for error and safety. That is where wide-ranging Deca expertise gained from more than 35 years of experience across numerous industries and applications offers greater advantage for engineering better solutions.
