* If sloped wall is shorter than the suggested channel length make the channel length 70% - 80% of wall dimension.
STITCH WELD MOUNTING

• Make mounting plate 3-6" longer than vibrator.
• Drill through holes for mounting bolts.
• Stitch weld mounting plate to
middle of channel iron.
• Stitch weld 1-3" with
1" between welds.
• Do not weld
ends
Use the proper alloy rod or wire when welding channel to bin. Using
the wrong alloy can cause stress cracking in the welds. This is really
a factor when welding a carbon steel channel to a Stainless Steel
hopper. AR plate needs pre heating and proper alloy filler metal.

Vibco recommends using one of our
engineered mounting systems for best force
transfer. You must use a mounting plate to
avoid cracking out the channel web. The plate
should match the width of the channel.
