Rail car shakers operating since 1981 with Mavi´s Vimot electromechanical vibrators.

B-75-8 drives, Vimot type, manufactured back in 1981 by former Mavi-Uhde Máquinas Vibratórias, now Mavi, to our great surprise are still in daily operation, at the railcar dumping station in a large Brazilian steel plant, in the State of Espírito Santo close to the Atlantic Coast.

These electromechanical vibrators Vimot, widely used and outspoken leaders in Latin America are known for their reliability and 60.000 running hours dimensioning. In this specific case the vibrators still working now for 23 years have surprised us. A humble contribution to the smooth operations at this important steel plant. .

The car-shakers and the Vimot vibrators are therefore a proven, safe and long lasting combination.
