Injuries incurred from railcar unloading can account for substantial health and compensation costs, in addition to the well being of workers.
Stubborn gates strain backs, and noisy equipment can inflict hearing damage on unprotected workers. Wind blown product can lead to eye injury and pollution.
We offer our railcar equipment as a safer and cleaner way to unload materials. clamp-on bracket fits open top truck hopper mount. At 15lbs, it is a lightweight, quieter alternative to piston or roller type truck vibrators.
HI-TECH “RAIL-ROCKER” RAILCAR VIBRATORS
At under 35lbs. and operating at under regulated levels, our hi-tech “Rail-Rocker” series represents an important factor in safe railcar unloading or loading. Providing surprisingly strong force, with high frequency, these units are effective on a wide range of materials. Because of an efficient design, little air is consumed. Our GT-RR railcar vibrator does not require lubrication.

We offer our railcar equipment as a safer and cleaner way to unload materials.
Certain materials respond better to certain types of vibration. Our technicians are trained to assist you in choosing the best railcar vibrator for your application.
Are you loading railcars? Many materials can be compacted in railcars and trucks to allow for more volume per container.
BIN-BUTLER SYSTEMS
The most stringent applications call for a flow-aid system that can not only maintain the flow of material, but can also maintain a clean surface. Not to be confused with air pads, rugged Bin-Butler Systems do just this, while consuming very little air and generating no more sound than a whisper.
The Bin-Butler System is the latest advance in flow management. Injector heads fire a radial pattern of powerful air pulses between material and the container wall to safely and quickly move material without affecting the vessel.
A solid-state, Programmable Time-sequence Controller determines the firing pattern of strategically placed injector heads to maintain required discharge of materials.
Quiet, long-lasting systems utilize high-grade carbon steel or stainless steel components and typically require less than 10CFM of plant air.
When activated, piston head extends, “slicing” material from hopper wall, without affecting vessel.
Injector heads mount flush to the inside of hopper wall, tightly sealed from material dust and fines.
Tough materials that cling and stick to hopper walls require a tough solution. Bin-Butler Systems are engineered for specific applications, to eliminate clinging, bridging, and arching of material, and restore 100% bin capacity, while maintaining a clean surface.
Bin-Butler Systems are not limited to hoppers and silos, and are effectively used on enclosed chutes and pneumatic conveying systems.
If you’re not sure what to use, that’s okay. Our technicians are trained to know, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Contact us if you’re looking for a specific model or brand. We work with major manufacturers, and may be able to offer replacement vibrators that generate less noise, consume less air, and do not require lubricated air.

The use of applied vibration has proven effective in a wide range of applications. Most commonly used on hoppers and silos to maintain the flow of materials, industrial vibrators offer an economical method of generating vibration when required.
A properly sized and mounted hopper vibrator will maintain the flow of material, without causing damage to the container. We can make recommendations on the best type of vibration and the best method of mounting, based on your material and specific conditions. We can even supply mounting kits, to ensure easy installation, ideal transmittal of vibration, and long equipment life.
If you’re not sure what to use, that’s okay. Our technicians are trained to know, so you don’t have to worry about it.
