Understanding the Italvibras MVSI Range: The Original Orange.
When it comes to industrial material handling, consistency is king — and vibration is often the silent force behind smooth flow, even distribution, and reliable compaction. That’s where the Italvibras MVSI series delivers. Engineered to perform under tough conditions and across diverse applications, MVSI foot-mounted electric vibrators are trusted in industries ranging from quarrying to food processing.
What Is the MVSI Series?
The MVSI range represents Italvibras’ heavy-duty line of rotary electric vibrators designed for uninterrupted performance in industrial environments. These single phase or three-phase asynchronous motors offer centrifugal force outputs of up to 300 kN (67,000 lbf), making them well-suited for high-load systems that require dependable vibration on demand.
Key Features That Set MVSI Apart
-
Wide Force Range
MVSI vibrators are available across a broad centrifugal force spectrum — from low-force models for light-duty applications, to high-output units for screening and compacting dense material. To download the complete MVSI range click on the following link. -
Multi-Voltage Power Supply
Units can operate on three-phase voltages from 24V to 690V, with frequency options of 50Hz or 60Hz. Select models also accommodate single-phase systems, broadening compatibility across international installations. -
Inverter Compatible
Designed for use with frequency drives, MVSI vibrators can adapt to variable speed and torque demands — ideal for changing load profiles and multi-process lines. -
Pole Configuration Options
Standard configurations include 2, 4, 6, and 8 poles, with 10 and 12 pole options available for specialized needs. -
Built for Continuous Duty (S1 Rated)
Rated for continuous operation at maximum output, these vibrators hold up in harsh or non-stop production conditions. -
Superior Insulation & Cooling
With Class F insulation (155°C) as standard — and Class H (180°C) on request — MVSI motors maintain thermal integrity during prolonged service. -
IP66 and IK08 Protection
Units offer excellent defence against dust, water ingress, and mechanical impacts — essential for installations in dusty, damp, or exposed environments. -
Compliance & Certification
MVSI models are manufactured to meet ATEX, UL, and international standards — including approvals for use in hazardous or explosive zones (21 and 22). To download the available certifications please click on the following link. -
Easy Installation
A large terminal box and secure clamps make for simplified wiring and mounting. Units are symmetrical and can be installed in any direction with no loss of performance.
Applications: Where MVSI Vibrators Work
MVSI vibrators are commonly used in the following industrial material handling setups:
- Hoppers & Feeders – Ensure consistent flow of bulk solids
- Vibrating Screens – Assist in separating aggregates, ore, or organic material
- Silos & Storage Bins – Prevent bridging or blockages
- Compacting Tables – Used in concrete pre-casting or material settling
- Bagging Lines – For compacting product into shipping or retail packaging
- Bunker Dischargers – Promote flow of hard-to-handle materials like lime or fertilizer
Background to Italvibras
