Creative Uses for Vibrating Tables You Wish You Knew

1 December 2023

Terry Reyes

Vibrating tables have been widely used in industries that require compacting, settling and densifying of materials. These pieces of equipment are often employed in testing and quality control in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and mining. However, vibrating tables also have many unique and creative uses outside of these traditional industries. This blog post will explore some of the applications of vibrating tables that you may not have known.

Casting and Moulding

Vibrating tables are essential equipment in the mould and casting industry. They are used to remove trapped air from the moulds and release air bubbles. The vibration ensures that the materials get to all the nooks and crannies of the moulds, resulting in a smoother finish and better detail capture. Vibrating tables can also be used to settle concrete and remove air pockets, leaving a perfect surface for final finishing.

Chocolate Confectionery

Vibrating tables are becoming popular in the confectionery world, particularly in chocolate production. During the chocolate-making process, air bubbles may form, leading to an uneven finish and compromising the overall quality of the product. Vibrating tables here come in handy since they help eliminate any air pockets, making the process less time-consuming and more effective.

Arts and Crafts

Artisans and hobbyists can use vibrating tables in different ways to produce the perfect result. Vibrating tables can help eliminate air bubbles from resin and produce a better finish, thus ensuring durable products. Vibrating tables can also be used to set and consolidate materials, such as sand when making art or models.

Powder Application

When applying powder coatings, many users avoid the use of a sieve or sieve shaker, which can lead to coatings that are impossible to use. That's where vibrating tables come in. By placing the powder on the vibrating table, the powder can be made to settle, which can lead to a more even spread over the surface.

Vibration Therapy

Besides the industrial and artistic use of vibrating tables, they can also be used to generate vibrations through the body. Of particular note is the use of vibration therapy, which involves standing or sitting on a vibrating table to improve circulation, stimulate muscles and relieve stress. Vibration therapy is much gentler than traditional physical therapy methods and can be used safely in a range of conditions.

Vibrating tables have multiple uses and they are not exclusively limited to industry applications but can be utilized in exciting and innovative ways. Whether you're an artisan, chocolate confectioner, casting expert or just an enthusiast or someone who wants to promote better health for yourself, the potential uses of vibrating tables are virtually limitless. So why not explore your options and see what innovative ways you can use vibrating tables today?

About Me

Welcome visitors. My name is Tim Hayes and this is my humble blog about industrial equipment and supplies. When I was a child, my dad worked as an engine driver in a sugar mill. I was mesmerised by all the machinery and tools needed to keep the mill functioning. My dad would patiently explain about the gauges and turbines and how they worked. I only ever heard him swear when they were waiting for parts and the machinery wouldn't operate properly! That was the start of my life-long preoccupation with what goes on behind the scenes in producing the goods we take for granted. If you are inquisitive about industrial equipment and supplies, I hope that these posts add some spark to your day. Thank you.
