The NAVCO BH 8 is a Pneumatic Piston Vibrator designed to provide reliable and effective performance, even when
exposed to sever adverse elements. The size and operating characteristics of the BH 8 make it ideally suitable for solving
very heavy duty bulk material flow problems.

The optimal mounting location for a vibrator in a typical
hopper application is at the point of the flow restriction. If
the exact position is unknown, the vibrator should be
located from 1/4th to 1/3rdd of the height of the hopper from
the discharge. For large hoppers, hoppers with unusual
geometry, or particularly difficult material flow problems,
