If you’re upgrading your induction furnace operations or setting up a new foundry line, investing in the right lining vibrator can make or break your productivity.
But how do you select a machine that aligns with your furnace size, refractory material, and production cycle?
This guide walks you through all the technical and practical considerations to help you make the right choice.
What is a Lining Vibrator?
A Lining Vibrator is a mechanical device used to compact refractory lining material inside induction furnaces. It delivers uniform vibration and compaction, eliminating voids and enhancing the durability of the lining.

Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing the Right Lining Vibrator
1. Determine Your Furnace Capacity
Different furnace sizes require different levels of compaction force. Consider:
- Furnace size in tons (e.g., 1-ton, 3-ton, 10-ton)
- Diameter and depth of crucible
- Wall thickness and tapering
At LeisterTech, we provide custom vibrator configurations based on your furnace specifications.
Contact us for technical consulting.
2. Match to Your Refractory Material
Refractory composition (alumina, silica, magnesite) affects how it compacts under vibration.
Ask these questions:
- Is your refractory fine-grained or coarse?
- Is it dry, semi-wet, or plastic-based?
- Does it have flow issues or settle easily?
Choose a vibrator that offers adjustable frequency and amplitude to accommodate various materials.
3. Look for Key Performance Features
When evaluating a vibrator, ensure it includes:
- Consistent vibration RPM (1800–3000 depending on design)
- Rugged, wear-resistant construction
- Long bearing life
- Low noise and heat emission
- Easy service access
Our lining vibrators at LeisterTech are engineered for 24/7 operation in harsh foundry conditions.
4. Check for Compatibility with Your Setup
Some vibrators are designed for:
- Manual crucible lining applications
- Robotic or semi-automated systems
- Overhead mounts or portable use
Select a model based on your existing workflow and manpower.
5. After-Sales Support & Training
The machine is only as good as the support behind it. Before you purchase, check:
- Spare part availability
- On-site support options
- Training and documentation
