For over 30 years, the stamping industry has given the stamp of approval to the Vibro Transporter for their scrap removal needs.
At 0.4 cfm, there is no substitute for the efficiency of the Vibro Transporter. Due to their durable rugged design, many of the Vibro Transporters first sold in 1985 are still in operation today.
All four Vibro models are 100% air operated and 100% made in the USA. Each
Vibro unit is backed by a standard two- year, renewable warranty.

within Plex as well, so supervisors can quickly and easily verify which oper- ators have been adequately trained for a particular job. Throughout the man- ufacturing floor, all employees are fully versed and totally engaged with the ERP system.”
Employee Comments
I often ask shop-floor workers and managers to share their thoughts on their employer’s progress toward world- class manufacturing. Here are some observations from various employees at Larsen & Shaw.
• “The training is good. It gives me a basic understanding of how the line works...what is happening beyond just the numbers I am entering. It is like starting and stopping a car—a lot is happening behind the scenes and it is good to understand that.”
• “I picked up a few pointers. I real- ized immediately after the training that I did not have my feeder set to the opti- mal speed for the line, so I made the adjustment and the line runs better as a result.”
• “The training was good. I made a change to the height of the roll release as a result, and set up a system to verify for other operators. I also learned about a feed-initiate adjustment that will allow quicker line startup.”
• “We have come a long way with still a long way to go. Seeing the engagement of the operators tells me it is time well spent. I believe that the success we are seeing lies with the operators who are open to learning and open to new technology that keeps us ahead of our competitors.”
• “Our training has grown in leaps and bounds. Total commitment would be the reason for this change. The current training is going great and the reason I say that is because of the on-the-floor response of the opera- tors, which within hours of their train- ing are actually putting their training into action and improving produc- tivity and equipment efficiency. This is the ultimate of training success.”
