The JVI Titan Feeder System is a unique multi-feeder system for discharging large-slotted hoppers in railcar and truck unloading facilities. These heavy-duty, cascading electromechanical feeders are mounted below large hoppers and deliver a controlled feed rate onto take away systems or downstream processes.

Titan railcar and truck unloading feeders are energized by a programmable logic controller (PLC) for exact control. They are programmed with JVI’s proprietary algorithm for optimal hopper unloading and processing.

Avoid bulk material compaction. Improve unloading.

Unlike belt or apron feeders, the Titan feeder system discharges material from the discharge end backwards so only free-flowing material is being moved. This creates a clear path for material to feed, avoiding compaction of static material in the direction of flow. The Titan series of cascading feeders handles dissimilar materials seamlessly. These unique characteristics can allow for reduced pit depth requirements, stack up heights, and excavation costs.

Heavy-duty industrial feeders.

The JVI Titan railcar and truck unloading feeder was introduced in 1999 and has been adopted across many industries, including aggregates & mining, coal, steel, recycling, terminals, and more.

The Titan feeder is electromechanically driven by unbalanced vibratory motors – or optional exciter drive gearboxes – that can be configured to handle a wide range of materials.

Discharge front to back.
How it works:

The long-slotted hopper above the Titan feeder is loaded by truck or railcar. The material load is detected, and the Titan System is energized.

Once energized the proprietary algorithm in the PLC sequences the feeders to unload the hopper from the discharge backwards from the master feeder back.

Titan railcar and truck unloading feeders are run by variable frequency drives (VFDs) to allow feed rate adjustability to hit the exact desired unloading rates and to accommodate different materials.

Cascading feeders discharge from the Master Feeder first, followed by Feeder 2 and then Feeder 3, optimizing the flow out of storage.

Simple design means less wear-and-tear and reduced impact damage.

Compared to belt and apron feeders, the Titan Feeder System features a low average system duty and distributed utilization of the cascading vibratory feeders reduce maintenance costs and downtime. A residual layer of material remains on the feeder platform to protect against impact damage when charging the hopper.

Customized to your application.

JVI customizes each Titan Feeder System to meet the exact application, discharge rates, hopper volumes, and work envelope requirements for each customer.

Titan feeders are electronically adjustable with pre-set capabilities that can handle many types of bulk material from the same hopper.
