Advanced Servo Vibration & Servo Equipped Main Drive

These new enhancements, through the use of Servo motors, smooth out the machine cycle resulting in the production of higher quality concrete products. Equally important, it extends the life of machine and mold parts.

Precisely controlling the acceleration and deceleration of the bull gear maximizes the life of machine parts by reducing the force to the machine components.  Synchronizing vibration, by accurately controlling the movement of the vibrator shafts, increases mold parts life by 30% or more.

Operating the servo motor on the Main Drive creates power during deceleration. This power is sent to the main electrical panel for use by either the main drive during acceleration or by the Advanced Servo Vibration (ASV).

ASV generates fully synchronized vibration starts and stops which:

• Provides more vertical vibration at the start of the cycle which aids in compaction of the material in the mold and potentially reduces feed time
• Provides uniform distribution of material throughout the feedbox, even to the bottom of the mold
• Higher speeds can provide a better product finish
• Feed and Finish times may be reduced resulting in a faster cycle rate
• The ability to decrease speed of stripping of product can reduce culls and aids in the manufacture of hard-to-form products such as thin-walled block
• Reduces material segregation
• Reduces material “jumping” out of the mold box
• Reduces horizontal mold movement during machine cycles for longer mold life
• Offers a dual vibration mode for hard to fill molds, reducing ragged top edges caused by material rolling back into the mold cavity

Since ASV is direct drive, there are no sheaves or belts to adjust or maintain and no air is required. Installation is simple and requires minimal changes to existing concrete products machines by utilizing mold guidance blocks or pin guidance.
