Vortex Loading Spouts

Load trucks and railcars with better positioning and dust control.

Vortex Truck & Rail Loading

Truck & Rail Loading for your process

Vortex loading systems combine a retractable spout with options for filtration, positioning, and load monitoring. Configurations support open and enclosed truck or railcar loading.

Tell us what you handle, where the component fits, and what needs to improve.

Also referred to as: Telescopic loading spouts; Retractable loading chutes; Bulk truck loading systems.

Features to consider

Position the discharge

Single- or dual-axis positioners help align the spout.

Control fugitive dust

Outer sleeves, outlet scavengers, and filtration options address dust at loading.

Coordinate loading

Level sensing and auto-raise options support the loading sequence.

Review the exact duty, material, temperature, connections, and control requirements with RTS before ordering. Published ranges cover a product family and vary by configuration.

Product photos

What to send RTS

A material name, a process sketch, and a description of the current problem are a useful starting point. Include throughput, bulk density, temperature, and operating conditions when available.

  • Loading rate and material bulk density
  • Vehicle hatch or open-loading arrangement
  • Retracted height, extended reach, and dust extraction

For replacements, send the existing model or serial number, opening dimensions, bolt pattern, available space, and photos.

Plan your application review

Can this replace an existing component?

Send the existing dimensions, connections, actuator details, and operating duty. RTS can review the installation and identify what needs to match before a replacement is selected.

How should we specify seals and materials?

Include abrasion, corrosion, cleaning, temperature, and product-contact requirements. Let us know any required documentation or hazardous-area classification.

Can we include the component in a larger process?

Share the upstream and downstream equipment and the intended operating sequence. RTS can help review how the component fits your conveying, batching, or loading arrangement.
