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 the spout to move along either the X-axis or the Y-axis. Depending on its orientation, a Single-Axis Positioner can be moved either front-to-back or side-to-side above a loading vessel.

The Vortex Dual-Axis Positioner allows the spout to move along both the X- and Y-axes, enabling it to move 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 an 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 that feature an integral braking system. Single-phase motors are available.

The support pan remains stationary, allowing the hopper to slide easily into place.

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