A complete range of electric and pneumatic internal and external vibrators from OLI is available locally from Bearings International (BI). With a centrifugal force up to 26 000 kg, and with multiple voltage options, the OLI range is suited for a range of applications, from food and beverage to mining, foundries and recycling. Motor bodies, bearing flanges and shafts are designed using Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a design, manufacturing or assembly process.
The use of premium grade aluminium alloy, cast iron and steel alloy means that the OLI range is ideal for heavy duty applications, with safe operation guaranteed in any conditions. Vacuum impregnated windings and Class F insulating materials enhance reliability and durability. Top quality bearings and an efficient grease retaining system ensure long-lasting performance and a low noise level during operation. Easy fine-tuning of the maximum centrifugal force provided by the motor is made possible by adjustable eccentric masses. The OLI range includes several certifications for use in hazardous environments, thereby matching the most demanding specifications worldwide.
“It is part of our strategy of being a total solutions partner for our customers in stocking some of the best products and brands from around the world, and OLI definitely falls into this category,” says Ross Trevelyan, BI business unit head: product and engineering.
