Vibratory device

Abstract

Examples include a vibratory device that includes a pivotably arranged pile bearing device that defines a bearing plane, and that separates an upper half-space from a lower half-space. The vibratory device includes a front stop that can limit a pile forming region, a lateral stop, and a pile aeration device that includes a gas discharge device that is arrangeable relative to the pile bearing device. The gas discharge device is arranged to be transferrable between a lowered position and an aeration position. In the aeration position, the gas discharge device is at least partly arranged in the upper half-space, and when in the lowered position, the gas discharge device is arranged completely in the lower half-space. The pile aeration device may serve as a rear blower device and, based on a first transport direction, the pile forming region is arranged between the gas discharge device and the front stop.
