HCP Hopper Car Portable Vibrator
When unloading bulk material from railcars, efficiency is key. The less time it takes to move from one car to the next, the more money is saved. NAVCO HCP (Hopper Car Portable) Railcar Vibrators are specifically designed to be quickly and easily moved between hoppers during the unloading of hopper railcars, while providing the vibration energy needed to minimize unloading times and reduce material carry back.
Hits Hard and Moves Quick
The HCP utilizes a unique male mounting head which allows the vibrator to ride freely within the female dovetail bracket found on North American hopper cars. This Free Ride design offers two clear benefits:
Hits Hard – The Free Ride’s distinctive mounting head enables employment of the entire mass of the vibrator to create a heavy hitting impulse to quickly free stuck material. The heavy hitting action eliminates the need for workers to use sledge hammers to loosen stuck material. Removing the need for sledge hammers eliminates damage to the car and the potential for injury.
Moves Quick– The Free Ride is designed to prevent the mounting head from becoming lodged in the female bracket (a commonly occurring problem with other mounting head types). This enables the operator to move between railcars quickly, remaining focused on unloading material and not on removing stuck vibrators.
An additional feature of the HCP vibrator is the low frequency, high impulse vibration output, which is recommended by railcar manufacturers. The low forcing frequency operates below the internal frequencies of the railcar structure, avoiding structural damage to the railcar. The high impulse is very effective in clearing rat holes and bridging, and accelerating material flow.
If you are constantly dealing with delays in unloading bulk materials from hopper cars then the NAVCO HCP Railcar Vibrator is the product you’re looking for. With its Free Ride design the HCP Vibrator enables quick and easy unloading of bulk materials from hopper railcars, saving you time and money.
