YEARS OF FOOD INDUSTRY
EXPERIENCE
For over 40 years Enmin has been a market leader in materials handling and vibratory equipment for the food and allied industries. Our extensive customer base includes many of Australia’s leading food manufacturers. We work closely with customers to design and build vibratory equipment for numerous products including chocolate, confectionery, milk powder, nuts, biscuits, pasta, salad and snack food right through to pet food and pharmaceutical products. Equipment that has been fundamental in meeting the ever-evolving demands of the food and allied industries.
COMPACTION TABLES
No matter what the product, the process of filling flexible bags is always achieved from some form of vertical filling machine. As a result, the filling process will always produce a bag that is out of shape. The bag may be 25 kg in weight or 1,000kg, but the problem of shape will always remain. This then presents a secondary problem when attempting to pack the bags on a pallet or into a transport container. The role of the Bag Compaction Table is to assist with conditioning the bag to achieve the maximum net volume of material in the bag and secondly, in the case of smaller bags, shaping the bag to permit safe loading of pallets.

INTRODUCTION
ELECTROMECHANICAL DRIVES
Out-of-balance electromechanical drives have proved to be the most economical and reliable method of powering vibratory feeders. The drives' relative output (considering their cost and weight) far surpasses other methods. When used with frequency inverters surprisingly accurate feed control can be achieved.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
HOW DO THEY WORK?
When the drive motors are run in opposing directions the resulting eccentric weights combine to produce a linear force. When these eccentric weights oppose each other a zero force results.
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHTS
To adjust the vibrating force of a motor simply loosen the outer adjustable weights on each side of the motor and align them with the desired percentage settings on the inner fixed weights. The position of the inner fixed weights should never be altered.
EVT RANGE
COMPACTION TABLES
In-board vibratory tables should be selected when outer dimensions are critical. Common applications include concrete compaction, filling stations and general settling of product.
An out-board vibratory table would be used when filling bulk-abags, or to overcome the problems associated with product compaction in bulk storage bins. This version ensures that loading and unloading can occur as close to the floor as possible.
