When loading dry bulk solid materials into trucks and railcars, load out speed is the primary concern. For optimal performance, the Vortex Loading Spout (also known as loading chutes) can be used in tandem with accessories specifically designed to accelerate the loading process.
Ideal application: Loading dry bulk solid materials into trucks and railcars.
Key Features
1. Vortex In-Line Filtration System at the material feed inlet to collect fugitive dusts by means of air withdrawal. Fugitive dusts are captured in pleated polyester filter cartridges. Throughout the loading process, automatic reverse pulse jets inject compressed air to purge the captured dusts back into the load.
2. Single- and Dual-Axis Positioners to laterally move the spout. Positioners save time by allowing trucks and railcars to make approximated pulls into the loading station, rather than pulling in and out of the loading station several times before properly positioning itself beneath the spout. Instead, the spout’s position is quickly adjusted.
3. Outer sleeve to contain fugitive dusts.
4. Stacking, cone-in-cone spout design.
Open or enclosed loading capabilities.
5. For enclosed loading applications, the spout's outlet scavenger "seats" into the hatch to address dusting to atmosphere. For loading slotted railcars or vehicles with non-standard hatches, optional hatch adaptors can be easily removed and interchanged.
For enclosed loading applications, an optional Self-Sealing Discharge seals off the outlet scavenger to prevent dusting to atmosphere between loading cycles.
