Hopper car for transportation of mineral fertilizers, model 19-6978-01 (articulated)

Eight loading hatches enhance loading performance and reduce the time per operation. The hatches are located as close as possible to one another, which facilitates the positioning of loading machinery on loading ramps and ensures that the entire car body is uniformly filled.

Two-component internal coating provides reliable protection from the aggressive impact of the cargo.

The 50° hopper box and end wall tilt angles provides for more convenient unloading of materials prone to caking.

The car’s cross ridge separates the end part and the middle part of the car body thus splitting the cargo streams during unloading between hopper boxes. This is a bearing element of the car body.

End hopper boxes allow a better use of space provided by the 1520 mm track gauge, and, unlike in standard 4-axle hoppers, help eliminate “blind spots” in the articulated car’s body.

In end hopper boxes, the longitudinal ridge accommodates a mechanism for unloading the end part of the car: a lever-and-screw drive system that controls the unloading hatch covers.

The braking system with individual braking equipment at each bogie uses advanced braking devices with an overhaul life of not less than eight years, fittings for threadless connection of brake lines and wear-resistant bushings made of composite molding material based on formaldehyde resins.

The automatic coupler is equipped with upper and lower limit stops and a modern class T2 shock absorbing device, which reduces longitudinal forces acting on the car.

The car is installed on bogies with an axle load of 25 t. Bogies with an integrated brake system increase operation safety and run between maintenance operations, and reduce the general lifecycle cost of the product.

The articulated car is equipped with the SAC-1 articulated connector, which joins the two sections of the car and ensures a smooth passage round track curves, including those with small radii.

Description

The 19-6978-01 six-axle articulated-type hopper car is designed for transportation of mineral fertilizers. This car is unrivaled at the CIS market.

The car body volume increased up to 160 m³ allows efficient transportation of the entire range of bulk goods using the 113.5 t payload in full. These specifications were attained owing to the articulated design of the car: its two sections are joined with the SAC-1 articulated connector, which ensures flawless passing through track curves including those with small radii as well as gravity humps.

The design of the car takes account of infrastructural peculiarities, which allows its operation at most cargo handling terminals.

Eight loading hatches are located as close as possible to one another ensuring that the entire car body is filled evenly. The mechanisms of the locking and sealing devices allow faster car processing and lower costs of the locking and sealing devices. The tilt angles of the hopper box and end walls are selected so as to ensure complete unloading (hopper boxes located in the lower end parts of the car body eliminate blind spots) and enhance unloading convenience and speed.

The increased load per meter of track of 7.74 t/m allows a considerable rise in railway throughput capacities and provides important savings savings on freight transportation costs for consignors and operators.

The car is fitted with model 18-9855 bogies with the increased 25 tf axle load and integrated brake actuation and has a system of individual braking at each bogie. This boosts reliability and operating efficiency of the car compared with conventional solutions in this field. Longer intervals between repairs allows lower life-cycle costs.

Igor Bogdan, Vice President for Transport and Logistics at Acron

“The Group implements the most advanced technology, both in mineral fertiliser production and in logistics. The new hopper is more efficient in terms of production and cost of operation. By using this model, the Group will cut the cost of mineral fertiliser delivery by rail”.
