Vibrating tables are designed to settle and compact dry bulk materials in various types of containers. Their application provides either a sizable increase in the net weight of the container or a reduction in the container size with subsequent savings in shipping and storage space. Vibrating tables are available in three types: electromagnetic, electromechanical and pneumatic. The choice of the proper types and model depends upon the characteristics of the material or objects being handled and its reaction to vibration, the maximum weight to be handled and the type of container.
