Railcar Vibrators for Hopper Bottom Railcars

WHIRLWIND Railcar Pocket Vibrator Assembly

The unique urethane-encapsulated turbine in the WHIRLWIND™ High Frequency Turbine Vibrator produces more power with less noise than any other high-frequency / high-force pneumatic turbine vibrator on the market. With an output of over 10,000 lb-f, depending on the application, the WHIRLWIND™ High-Frequency Turbine Vibrator delivers twice the force output, while using half the CFM of the most powerful competitive models. The unit mounts easily to cradle lug brackets or railcar wedge brackets.

WHIRLWIND™ Vibrator Benefits

  • MOVE MORE MATERIAL -- Larger unbalance creates greater force output to move your material.

  • REDUCE NOISE -- Testing proves noise level up to 10 dB less than competitive models, and within OSHA noise limits.

  • REDUCE OPERATING COSTS -- More power, lower air consumption, and longer life than competitive models cuts your lifetime cost of ownership.

  • ONE-WORKER PORTABILITY -- Built-in handle provides easy portability for use in railcar unloading or pre-cast form applications.

  • REDUCE MAINTENANCE COSTS -- Long-life, high-speed sealed bearings need no lubrication.

  • SATISFACTION GUARANTEED -- Our High-Frequency Turbine Vibrator must work to your complete satisfaction or it can be returned for full credit.

WHIRLWIND™ Vibrator Typical Applications

  • CONCRETE CONSOLIDATION -- Enables fast placement and high-strength consolidation and provides excellent surface finish. High-force reduces number of vibrators required per form; low air consumption cuts operating costs.

  • RAILCAR UNLOADING -- High-frequency and high-force provide efficient unloading of compacted fine powders like dry chemicals or foodstuffs.

  • PERMANENT OR PORTABLE MOUNTING -- For applications like material compaction, storage vessel evacuation, or material feeding.
