Hopper car for transportation of cement, model 19-9550

The applied schematic construction allows to reduce the weight of the car, increase its payload capacity and reliability of the car construction design.

The increased volume of bins allowed to lower the center of gravity of the freight car and increase its stability against capsizing.

Loading hatches properly protect the goods from adverse effects of atmospheric precipitation.

Brake system is completed with modern brake devices which between repairs term is not less than 8 years, fittings for the threadless connection of brake pipelines, wear-resistant plugs made of composite pressing material (CPM) on the basis of formaldehyde resins, providing a run resource not less than 1 mln km. A system of independent two cylinder braking is applied for the hopper car of model 19-9550, which provides more advantageous braking conditions, possesses higher efficiency and reliability in comparison with a traditional braking system.

Innovative bogie improves dynamic characteristics of the freight car, enhances safety of its operational use, increases between-repairs run and decreases life cycle costs of the product as a whole.

The coupler pulling face is equipped with a modern draft gear of T1 class, which reduces the level of longitudinal forces, acting on the freight car. There is also an improved uncoupling drive on the freight car, preventing the coupler pulling face from falling on the track in case of breakage in an emergency.
