What Is a Vibrating Tumbler?
A vibrating tumbler is a device used for purposes such as mixing, stirring, and polishing by vibrating materials.
It is used to uniformly mix different materials such as solid powders and liquids, or to homogenize fine powders. Vibrating tumblers find applications in a wide range of fields, including chemical engineering and materials science research, metal finishing and polishing, and pharmaceuticals for tablet coating.
Typically, a vibrating tumbler consists of a container or structure equipped with an electric motor or vibration source to generate vibrations. The materials are placed inside the container, and the vibrations cause them to mix uniformly. Vibrations can be generated in various patterns, from linear to circular motion.
