Magbase Magnetic Vibrator

The MagBase Heavy Duty magnetic vibrator mounting bracket is available from Filquip. The MagBase HD is made from Stainless Steel 304 and uses strong rare earth magnets to hold the vibrator against the steel formwork, hopper walls, silos or bins requiring vibrating.

The MagBase handle allows easy movement of vibrators around the steel structure being vibrated and also provides protection for the air fittings on the vibrator from being accidentally damaged.

The Oli range of Pneumatic vibrators are available for direct mounting to the MagBase includes the OR100, OT36S, OT36, OT30, S36 or S30.

Filquip has produced the following video to show the ease of attaching the magbase vibrator to a silo or hopper and its operation.

Advantages of Dense Phase Conveying over Lean Phase Conveying

Filquip Pty Ltd Australia : March 2025

Advantages of Dense Phase Conveying over Lean Phase Conveying

It’s been just over five years since Filquip supplied and commissioned a Stainless Steel 304 Air-Tec Systems 1500L 12TPA500 Dense Phase Conveyor for transporting Animal Feed Minerals, complete with a Dense Phase Diverter Valve and WAM Dust Collectors. During a recent site visit, we checked the Control Panel PLC to see how the system has performed over the past half-decade.

In five years, the unit has completed 44,630 cycles, moving approximately 1,150 kg per cycle. That’s an impressive 51.3 million kg of product conveyed—with only one inlet valve, one diverter valve seal, and two sets of dust collector filters replaced as part of routine maintenance.

When comparing lean phase and dense phase conveying, the higher upfront cost of a dense phase system often stands out. However, the long-term benefits such as minimal maintenance, reduced downtime, and lower energy costs per kg of product conveyed almost always deliver substantial savings over time. In terms of operational lifecycle cost, dense phase conveying consistently proves to be the smarter investment.

Free standing dust extractors

Filquip is a Brisbane based supplier to free standing dust extractors. These units are perfect for connecting to your ducting network and providing dust extraction from a number of pick points, hoods and other locations as required across your plant.

Filquip also offers ducting sizing and design layouts to get the correct ducting diameters and routing to avoid the dust settling in the ductwork or moving too quickly through the ducting which will prematurely wear out the ducting bends.

Our free standing dust extractors are offered in a number of sizes from 60m3/hr suction airflow up to 15,000m3/hr airflow with over 50 different models across the range to cover any airflow requirement inbetween.

The dust collection device on the dust extractor hopper can be fitted as a 50L bin, Bulk Bag filler or Drum filler option.
