3.1. Intended Use
Vibrator motors are not independently functioning machines.
They are used to drive vibrating machines, such as vibratory feeders,
conveyor pipes, sieving machines, sorting machines and as flow aids in silos
and bunkers.

vibrator motors.
The operator is responsible for the operation of vibrator motors.
