Looks like a paint shaker to me... Just fooling around...

Does it have springs on both sides? Side view would be helpful.

Is it possible the hopper sits inside of a separate frame and those springs would connect it to the frame?

Is it possible the hopper sits inside of a separate frame and those springs would connect it to the frame? Likely. To isolate the vibration from the motor and such. The position of the motor would be at a right angle to the direction of the vibration. I cannot visualise this characteristic in this case.

I'd agree with NDK, mounted in a separate frame. By building a frame with rigid upright on one side and sliding or pivoting upright on the other, the tension on the springs could be altered giving some control over the vibration. The springs look quite strong, but too, the amount of mass flinging around on the shaft is plenty to make it hop. Interesting basis for a project. Here I go with the unexplained line again.
