Elscint Linear Vibrator for tobacco flakesElscint Automation, the leading vibratory parts feeder manufacturer from India has developed a special linear vibrator for feeding of tobacco flakes. The tobacco flakes being very light, thin and also moist have a tendency to get bridged in the tray leading to inconsistent feeding. However, using an Elscint III linear vibrator with a 50 mm width x 300 mm long tray, Elscint eliminated this problem to ensure consistent feeding of the tobacco flakes. Further the requirement was to run the vibrator for only 800 milliseconds and stop for 2 seconds before starting the cycle. For this Elscint provided E3FC voltage controller which has the provision for continuous start / stop cycle. 
316 stainless steel shaft collars for food, medical and pharmaceutical applicationsRuland Manufacturing Co., Inc. offers a full range of smooth bore shaft collars in 316-grade stainless steel to meet the demanding needs of food processing, medical and pharmaceutical applications.
