With its range of brute force MVE electric vibrators, Oli Vibrators is providing the Australian mining industry with a reliable and versatile vibration solution.
Industrial vibrators are essential components in ore processing plants on mine sites. Vibrators are employed at various points along the chain, helping material travel between hoppers, screens, conveyors and crushers.
Vibrators’ main job at a mine is to keep things moving. Without them, everything grinds to a halt.
That’s why Oli Vibrators makes its vibrators to last. And with an international backing and agents all across Australia, the company can deliver the goods anywhere, anytime.
Oli Vibrators specialises in industrial vibration technology, providing high-quality, European-built industrial electric and pneumatic vibrators, frequency converters, flow aids and aerators.
“You’ll find our vibrators on grizzly screens, scalping screens, conveyors, pan feeders, dewatering systems and much more across all sorts of mining operations,” Oli Vibrators general manager Mark Thompson told Australian Mining. “Our products have applications in coal, hard rock, and gold operations – and of course in any mineral processing plant.”
Oli Vibrators manufactures its product in Malta and Italy. The company’s headquarters is located in Modella, Italy, where the equipment goes through rigorous testing and quality control to ensure it can handle extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, abrasion and heavy use.
The company has a lot of products in its toolkit, but the brute force MVE electric vibrator motor range is its vibrator of choice for the Australian mining industry.
These vibrators can generate between 3–26,000kg of centrifugal force, which can be adjusted with ease. The MVE range is also available with multiple voltage options, making the vibrators suitable to dexterous and heavy-duty tasks.
“The MVE electric vibrators are standard IECEx, Zone 21 rated and ideal for any hazardous conditions because they’re built extremely tough and durable, with a fully optimised electrical design,” Thompson said. “We also have an increased safety and explosion proof in our range for those sensitive areas.
“They’re built for heavy-duty, continuous work in harsh environments.
“The amount of force on the vibrator itself can be adjusted quite easily, and there’s lots of different voltages and frequencies available.”
One of the product’s main advantages is its ‘greased for life’ feature, which means exactly what the term implies. Thanks to Oli’s extensive research and development, the vibrators don’t need re-greasing, which means no scheduled maintenance and less downtime.
“The MVE range is manufactured to a high F-class insulation, using world-class materials and bearings,” Thompson said.
F-class insulation is a universal measure of temperature resistance, making them perfect for hot mine sites throughout Australia.
An ingress protection rating of IP66, coupled with a positive temperature coefficient thermistor fitted to every unit, keeps the vibrators protected from water and dust, as well as temperature.
And thanks to a range of footprints, the vibrators are compatible with many machines and can be retrofitted or built-in at the manufacturing level.
With over 35 global warehouses, 26 trading subsidiaries, and three manufacturing plants around the world, Oli Vibrators can supply essential vibration solutions when and where they are needed. In Australia, the company has warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
“The benefit of being such a large company is that we’ve got a very strong supply line,” Thompson said. “We’ve got a 24-hour service where we’re ready to go all the time.
“Our customers can rest assured that they’re not going to be waiting months for industrial vibrators. We’ve got the gear on hand, and it can be dispatched within 24 hours.”
Backed by a vast supply network and rigorous European design standards, Oli Vibrators’ reliable, brute force vibrators are keeping things moving in the Australian mining industry.
