täristimet

Täristimet are a Finnish term referring to vibratory feeders, a type of industrial equipment used to deliver solid materials, often in bulk, at a controlled rate. They employ vibrating mechanisms to move materials along a trough or track. The vibration can be generated electromagnetically, mechanically via an eccentric weight, or pneumatically. The frequency and amplitude of the vibration are adjustable, allowing for precise control over the material flow rate.

These devices are commonly found in manufacturing processes where consistent and accurate feeding of components or raw materials is essential. Applications include assembly lines, packaging, weighing, and screening operations. Täristimet are designed to handle a wide range of materials, from fine powders and granules to larger parts. Their simplicity, reliability, and ability to operate in harsh industrial environments make them a popular choice.

The primary function of a täristin is to overcome static friction and inertia in bulk materials, causing them to move in a generally linear direction. The vibrating surface can be a simple tray or a more complex channel with specialized shapes to prevent bridging or clogging of materials. Maintenance is typically straightforward, focusing on lubrication and ensuring the vibration system is functioning correctly.
