Loading Spout Positioner

Vortex® Loading Positioners are used in conjunction with standard volume loading spouts to facilitate and speed up the loading of open or enclosed trucks and railcars at loadout stations.

The Vortex Single-Axis Positioner allows spout movement along either an X-axis or a Y-axis. Depending on orientation, a Single-Axis Positioner can either be moved from front-to-back or side-to-side above a loading vessel.

The Vortex Dual-Axis Positioner allows spout movement along both an X- and Y-axis, allowing it to traverse from front-to-back and side-to-side above a loading vessel.

Single-Axis Positioners: 2 – 10 ft | 0.6 – 3 m Dual-Axis Positioners: 2×2 – 6×4 ft | 0.6×0.6 – 1.8×1.2 m

Single-Axis Positioner: (qty. 1) 1 HP motor with 80: 1 gear reducer Dual-Axis Positioner: (qty. 2) 1 HP motors with 80: 1 gear reducers Vortex® Spout Positioner motors are three-phase motor/reducer drive units which feature an integral braking system. Single-phase motors are available.

The support pan stays stationary, allowing the hopper to easily slide and find its destination.

The traversing hopper connects to the spout and allows for exact positioning.
