MagBase: Vibration Without Permanent Installation

The MagBase magnetic vibrator mounting bracket is a portable mounting frame designed for use with OLI OR100 and OT36S pneumatic vibrators. It allows a vibrator to be quickly installed, removed and relocated wherever additional vibration is required, without drilling, welding or permanent modifications.

When material conditions change due to moisture, compaction or product variation, a MagBase fitted with an OLI pneumatic vibrator provides additional vibration to help maintain material flow.

How MagBase works

MagBase is a portable magnetic mounting bracket. An OLI OR100 or OT36S pneumatic vibrator is bolted to the bracket, allowing the complete assembly to be magnetically attached to ferromagnetic steel equipment. When vibration is no longer required, the assembly can be removed and relocated without permanent modifications to the equipment.

MagBase isncludes the magnetic mounting bracket only. OLI pneumatic vibrators are selected separately to suit your application.

A portable solution for changing material conditions

Material flow problems are often intermittent. Bins and hoppers may discharge normally under standard conditions but require additional vibration when materials become damp, compacted or difficult to discharge.

This additional vibration option reduces the need to manually strike equipment to free material.

Applications include:

  • Bins and hoppers with intermittent flow issues
  • Silos and storage vessels
  • Transfer chutes
  • Mobile or relocatable bins
  • Concrete moulds and formwork

One vibrator. Multiple locations.

A single OLI vibrator can be used across multiple areas of a site, providing flexibility where vibration requirements change.

The portable design makes it suitable for use with mobile compressed air setups, including compressors mounted on service vehicles, trailers or portable units.

Improve flow without permanent modifications

Bridging, rat holing and material build up can restrict product flow and reduce productivity.

MagBase provides a quick and controlled way to add vibration to assist material movement, reducing manual intervention and unnecessary modifications to equipment.

Choosing the right vibrator location

The effectiveness of vibration depends on where it is applied. MagBase allows users to trial different mounting positions to identify where vibration provides the best results.

This allows users to determine:

  • The most effective vibrator location
  • The best mounting position for different materials
  • Whether a portable or permanent solution is most suitable

Durable magnetic mounting design

Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, MagBase is designed for reliable use in industrial environments.

The high strength rare earth magnetic mounting system securely attaches to ferromagnetic steel surfaces while allowing quick installation, removal and repositioning of the vibrator assembly.

Features include:

  • Durable 304 stainless steel frame
  • Two high strength rare earth magnets
  • Secure mounting without drilling or welding
  • Quick relocation between applications
  • Suitable for OLI OR100 and OT36S pneumatic vibrators
  • Requires filtered, dry compressed air supply

Suitable OLI pneumatic vibrators

MagBase is designed to suit the following OLI pneumatic vibrators:

OR100 Rotary Pneumatic Vibrator

  • General purpose vibration for bins, hoppers and chutes
  • Suitable for most material flow applications

OT36S Turbine Pneumatic Vibrator

  • High frequency vibration
  • Well suited to concrete compaction, moulds and fine or cohesive materials

Portable vibration support when needed

Whether assisting difficult to flow materials or adding vibration to mobile equipment, MagBase allows vibration to be applied without permanent vibrator installation.
