A vibration exciter apparatus includes an exciter housing, and two bearing means, each supporting a driven shaft carrying eccentric mass means. The driven shafts carrying intermeshing gears. The exciter housing having an array of bore passages extending from an upper wall to a lower wall of the exciter housing, and a mounting structure plate securable to mineral processing or handling equipment intended to be vibrated by the exciter apparatus. Each of the bearing means and the intermeshing gears having separated lubrication liquid sumps. The exciter housing further having the mounting structure plate with an array of fastener receiving zones, whereby elongated fastener means can pass through the bore passages from the upper wall to be engaged in the fastener receiving zones.
A vibration exciter apparatus configured, in use, to impose a vibration regime to vibration processing or handling equipment, said exciter apparatus comprising:
A vibration exciter apparatus casing for use in vibration exciter apparatus intended, in use, to impose a vibration regime to vibration processing or handling equipment, said vibration exciter apparatus casing comprising a substantially continuous wall structure with an upper wall portion, an opposed lower wall portion, two mutually spaced and opposed end wall portions, and two mutually spaced side faces together defining an internal zone, said internal zone including two bearing mounting compartments separated by a transversely disposed intermediate wall structure extending from a first said side face, each said bearing mounting compartment including a bearing lubricating liquid sump zone separate from the other said bearing mounting compartment, said transversely disposed intermediate wall structure and said bearing mounting compartments being spaced from a second said side face opposed to said first side face whereby a gearing mounting compartment and an associated gearing lubricating liquid sump zone are positioned adjacent said second side face.
