--- title: Don't Get Your Vibratory Feeder Into A Pickle description: Keep bulk materials flowing efficiently through chutes, hoppers, silos and kilns by applying vibration energy. image: https://blog.martin-eng.com/hubfs/IMG_2548.jpg --- [![martin-sig-logo](https://blog.martin-eng.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Martin_Engineering_December2018/Image/martin-sig-logo.png?width=310&name=martin-sig-logo.png "martin-sig-logo")](https://blog.martin-eng.com/) ## visit us at [www.martin-eng.com](http://www.martin-eng.com) / [800-544-2947](tel:+8005442947) ## [< ![](https://blog.martin-eng.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HorrieP.jpg?width=35&name=HorrieP.jpg) By Paige Horrie on Jul 29, 2024 3:54:26 PM A food (*pickles to be exact*) products company found themselves in a real pickle *(see what I did there?!)* with their vibratory motors. The company's feeder system, reliant on effective vibration to keep materials moving, was causing trouble. Despite their efforts to fix the issue with help from a local electric motor repair shop, the repairs proved to be unreliable, leading to frequent and frustrating motor failures. ### Not Gherkin Around Enter the new maintenance supervisor, who recently joined the plant following the closure of his previous employer. At his previous job, he had teamed up with our vibration group to solve similar issues. Recognizing a familiar recipe for success, he decided to call Martin Engineering once more for a solution. We were able to quickly provide a solution by replacing the problematic European-manufactured electric vibrators with our [MM Series Electric Vibrators](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/product/88/mm-series-electric-vibrator). [![electric vibrators provide consistent and reliable vibratory force to keep materials moving](https://blog.martin-eng.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shaker%20motors%20(1).jpg?width=450&height=338&name=Shaker%20motors%20(1).jpg)](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/product/88/mm-series-electric-vibrator) The results? Simply dill-icious! The customer reported “just wanted to give you an update on the motors we ordered. They run great, quietly, and the Operations department is very happy. I’ll be ordering another two as spares in the next few weeks.” ### Features & Benefits - Only USA manufacturer of continuous-duty, high-output/low-frequency industrial vibrators guaranteed for 3 years - Engineered for continuous duty - C4 clearance roller bearings - Dust-tight, water-tight: O-ring seals and machined surfaces provide an IP 66 enclosure rating to protect against the entry of dust and water - Fast delivery from domestic manufacturer of any electrical rating - Drives are fully interchangeable with other major manufacturers - Worldwide tech support and service [Check out "6 "TIONS" of properly-sized and applied vibration" ](https://blog.martin-eng.com/6-tions-of-properly-sized-and-applied-vibration) ### Relish the Results Thanks to the maintenance supervisor’s experience and our top-tier solutions, the facility’s motor troubles are resolved and operations are running smoothly once again. Sometimes, all it takes is a touch of expertise and the right help to turn things around *(or: sometimes, all it takes is a touch of expertise and the right help to turn a sour situation into a sweet success!)*.
