Railcar Vibrators
During its rail journey to your facility, your bulk material shipment is sure to settle/compress within the hopper car. To prompt and maintain material flow and ensure that the railcar is fully emptied requires a railcar vibrator capable of generating the appropriate vibratory force and frequency for the material you are unloading. To ensure a smooth and secure process to empty the cargo in every railcar you receive, explore WORKMASTER's range of air-driven piston, dual roller, and turbine railcar vibrators designed to unload your railcars efficiently, quietly, and safely.

VIEW PRODUCTSWhy is Railcar Unloading Difficult?
Railcar unloading often forms a bottleneck at the very beginning of the processing of powders or bulk solids. Several issues typically occur in sequence:
- Railcar gates are jammed shut, making opening them a challenging, time-consuming chore. Operators often rely on pry bars, come-a-longs, chain falls, and sometimes even torches just to get the gates moving.
- Once unloading begins, material flow may not start or becomes intermittent. Sledgehammers, rods, air lances, and vibrators are frequently used in an attempt to improve flow—but many are ineffective on the material you’re trying to unload.
- Dust becomes a major issue as material exits the railcar. Wind can carry dust to nearby buildings or the surrounding neighborhood, increasing the potential for OSHA and EPA concerns.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be like this. We can provide you with the railcar unloading equipment that will make your site safer and more productive than it’s ever been. Talk with us about railcar gate openers, railcar vibrators and brackets, and railcar pocket-to-undertrack-conveyor unloaders. We're ready to share our more than 80 years of bulk material handling expertise and eager to help you eliminate a few problems.
