Product Spotlight

Gulf-Atlantic customers at Orlando Utilities Commission, Conrad Yelvington, and Tampa Electric Company have already discovered the benefits and effectiveness of the NAVCO® Railside Car Shaker.

The NAVCO® Railside Car Shaker is a permanently mounted vibration system designed to speed the loading and unloading of bulk material from railcars. The high amplitude, low frequency vibrational energy delivered by the Railside Car Shaker’s pneumatic drive mechanism is far more effective than the high frequency rotational vibration used in other common railcar flow aid devices.

In fact, field tests and live installations of the Railside Car Shaker have proven it’s ability to reduce unloading time for especially stubborn material by up to 75%.

How It Works

The Railside Car Shaker is designed to deliver high amplitude, low frequency, linear vibration into the railcar.
Vibration transmitted in a plane perpendicular to the flow of the bulk material is transferred into the material more effectively than other methods.
This results in the most efficient and effective material movement possible.
The operating principals of the design allow for efficient influence of material in the rail cars with low stress to the rail car structure.
The NAVCO® Railside Car Shaker is available in both pneumatic and electric models.
The Roller Railside is manufactured with heavy duty steel rollers at the contact point for continuous unloading of captive cars.
