MagHammer Comparison
	There are four basic approaches to solving solid flow problems: Side Wall Vibrators and Impactors Air Discharge Devices Bin Shakers Internal Apparatus The following tables compare the various types of solid flow solutions. Key to the tables:

Special Comparison Between the MagHammer and a Pneumatic Impact Device

Comparative Characteristic Pneumatic (air) Impact Device MagHammerô Electromagnetic Impact Power Source Uses compressed air requiring an air compressor Air power is a function of the distance from the compressor Impact force is effected by the number or items on the air line Hammerís require constant maintenance including lubrication Uses 220 VAC, three phase, which is common in industrial plants Power is consistent regardless of distance Impact force is adjustable and consistent Very low maintenance, no lubrication required Frequency of Impact Hammer hits rapidly with little adjustability No adjustment for pause between hits Hammer hits every second with a 0-17 second pause time adjustment Maintenance Due to typical design, the impact hammers take in contamination and moisture Exhausts lubricants which require replacing Mechanical springs require replacement MagHammerís piston is sealed preventing entry of moisture and contamination. No lubricants required No springs or other mechanical devices that wear out Impact Force Very little force adjustment  allowed.  Force can be adjusted from 0-100% of rated force
