Operational Efficiency

Designed for use with screeners, feeders, bins, and hoppers of all sizes, the KEE-18-6 ensures a steady flow of bulk materials. Its slower (1,200 RPM) yet high-force output is perfect for moving heavier, more compact products without the excessive speed that can cause bouncing or premature wear. Operators can fine-tune the vibration intensity to best suit the material at hand, reducing energy consumption and improving overall process control.

Safety and Compliance

Dust-Tight, IP66 Enclosure Keeps out fine particles, ensuring the motor and bearings remain free from contamination.
Rugged Construction Heavy-duty frame and sealed bearings prolong motor life and meet common industry safety standards.
Thermal & Overload Protection Often paired with external sensors or breakers to safeguard against overheating in intensive usage scenarios.
Ergonomic Benefits Reduces the need for manual agitation of materials, helping to lower operator fatigue and injury risk.

Installation Tips

  1. Mount Securely: Use sturdy supports or frames capable of handling up to 3,960 lbs of vibration force.
  2. Verify Electrical Requirements: Ensure correct voltage (230/460 V) and availability of three-phase power.
  3. Adjust Eccentric Weights: Follow manufacturer guidelines to fine-tune output force for specific material and throughput needs.
  4. Allow for Access: Position the motor so maintenance staff can easily reach lubrication points and electrical connections.
  5. Regular Inspections: Monitor seals, bearings, and connections monthly to catch any signs of wear or misalignment.

Integration and Compatibility

Ideal for a variety of industrial processes, the KEE-18-6 integrates easily with:

  • Heavy-Duty Vibratory Feeders: Consistent force distribution for smooth, reliable feeding.
  • Screens & Classifiers: Enhanced separation efficiency due to stable, uniform vibration.
  • Vibratory Tables: Compacts materials for packaging, casting, or leveling in industrial production lines.
  • Hoppers & Bins: Prevents bridging or clogging, ensuring continuous material flow.

Durability and Maintenance

Constructed for rigorous use, the KEE-18-6 resists common forms of mechanical stress often encountered in heavy industrial settings. Routine maintenance typically entails:

  • Lubricating Sealed Bearings: Check seals for wear and replace as necessary to maintain optimal performance.
  • Verifying Electrical Connections: Vibration can loosen fixtures over time, so periodic tightening is recommended.
  • Inspecting Eccentric Weights: Ensure they remain securely set to the desired force output.

With proper care, you can expect consistent, long-term operation—especially critical in 24/7 processing or demanding outdoor facilities.

Industries and Applications

Mining & Aggregates Move and separate large volumes of heavy rock, gravel, or crushed ore.
Recycling Power screeners that handle bulky scrap materials like metals, plastics, or glass.
Food & Agriculture Transfer dense grains, seeds, or other bulk goods effectively (with attention to hygiene requirements).
Construction & Concrete Vibrate forms or molds for superior density and reduced air pockets.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Manage heavier powders or granules where consistent flow is a must.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the force output on this motor?
Arrow
Material Specifications: The feeder is designed to handle bulk materials of various types, including powders, granules, and small solids, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications. Applications: Ideal for industries requiring precision in handling diverse material types, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical manufacturing.
Is this 6-pole design more energy-efficient than higher-speed motors?
Arrow
The 6-pole, lower RPM design often delivers more torque with less speed, which can be beneficial in certain applications—especially when handling heavier materials where high speed may cause excessive wear or material bounce.
Can the KEE-18-6 be installed outdoors?
Arrow
Yes. With an IP66 enclosure and sealed bearings, it’s well-suited for outdoor installations, provided standard best practices for water ingress protection and routine inspections are followed.
Does it come in different voltage options?
Arrow
Alongside the 230/460 V three-phase model, other KEE vibratory motors may be available in 575 V or 230/380/460 V configurations. Check with the manufacturer for your specific voltage requirements.
