Tank car for transportation of foodstuffs, model 15-9993-01

Use of polymer materials on contact surfaces of the tank car sill. Unlike the wooden beams used on older cars, these materials are resistant to degradation by the environment, improving reliability and safety.

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.

A system of independent two cylinder braking provides more advantageous braking conditions, possesses higher efficiency and reliability in comparison with a traditional braking scheme. 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.

Automatic coupler pulling face is equipped with a modern draft gear of Т-2 class, which reduces the level of longitudinal forces, acting on the freight car. There is also an improved uncoupling arrangement, preventing the automatic coupler from falling on the track in case of breakage in an emergency.
