A system for imparting vibratory energy to solid particulate matter includes a resiliently mounted vibrator a rotating vertical shaft engaged with the vibrator body but adapted to rotate with the counterweights independently of the vibrator body. A drive motor engaged with the vertical shaft rotates the shaft about its axis to rotate the counterweights and thereby impart a relatively large amplitude vibratory motion to the vibrator body. A closed conduit carried on the vibrator body contains solid particulate matter which travels in a fluidized condition along a linear path through the conduit in response to vibration of the vibrator body. In one form of the invention, the vibrator body comprises a reaction chamber for receiving a gas flow and contacting it with an appropriate solid particulate catalyst contained in the reaction chamber and adapted to promote desired reactions between chemical components of the gas phase. The vibrational energy imparted to the reaction chamber causes catalyst particles to flow in a continuous fluidized circulating path from the reaction chamber through a suitable catalytic regeneration chamber and back to the reaction chamber. Preferably, the drive motor is coupled with the rotating shaft of the vibrator body through a vertically extending torsion shaft having suitable torsional strength for required torque transmission but with sufficient torsional and lateral flexibility to prevent substantial vibrational energy from being transmitted by the vibrator body to the drive motor and its bearings.
