The influence of the heating mechanism on the kinetic energy densities of the components of a vibrated granular mixture is investigated. Collisions of the particles with the vibrating wall are inelastic and characterized by two coefficients of normal restitution, one for each of the two species. By means of molecular dynamics simulations, it is shown that the non-equipartition of kinetic energy is not affected by the differential mechanism of energy injection, aside the usual boundary layer around the wall. The macroscopic state of the mixture in the bulk is defined by intensive variables that do not include the partial granular temperatures of the components.
