Tank car for transportation of chemically active substances,
model 15-6900-01
Description
A tank car for the transportation of a wide range of chemically active substances with a tank made of stainless steel.
This new generation tank car leaves behind existing analogues in technical characteristics. The undercarriage with an increased axle load and tank space of 54.5 m³ provides for the enhanced freight car payload capacity of 76.5 t (+8.5 t compared to standard models). An increased run time between repairs is a significant competitive advantage of the freight car, model 15-6900-01, which allows cutting down the cost of the freight car life cycle by almost 3 times. The freight car service life is 32 years.

Opinions
Sergey Pronin, Deputy CEO for sales and marketing at PhosAgro
“Despite having achieved remarkable progress in reaching our strategic targets, we are still committed to strengthening our competitiveness, including through raising further our efficiency and reducing costs of production. These also include shipment-related costs. The new generation tank cars built by TikhvinChemMash we have been using intensely, have proved to be quite an efficient means to carry liquid sulphur due to their impressively large capacity. Another important advantage is an expected reduction of fleet maintenance costs owing to a larger overhaul period”.
Ivan Ruban, CEO at Novomoskovski Khlor
“The history of our enterprise dates back to 1936 when our bleach-producing workshop, the only one in the country at the time, began its production activities. Since 2007, Novomoskovski Khlor has been run as an independent operation within the EuroChem Group. In line with the high standards we seek to adhere to across the Group, we make sure to use safe and efficient vehicles for transporting freights. Following other EuroChem companies, we have taken the decision to purchase 18 UWC-produced cars for transporting sodium hydroxide, given the strong operational results they have shown both at enterprises belonging to the Group and on the market more broadly”.

Igor Chukreev, Head of the Transport Department of Metafrax
“Metafrax possesses considerable experience of dealing with UWC innovative freight cars. 134 innovative tank cars for methanol were accepted for operational use in the plant in 2016. This year 20 tank cars for formalin loading are submitted to the company under the contract. The programme of the plant’s railway infrastructure development provides for 900 new tank cars for the fleet update until 2019. We are sure that the operational use of new and tailored to our needs tank cars for formalin will be the most economical and safe. Moreover, the creation of our own servicing center based on our production capacities will further strengthen the transport infrastructure”.
