Wagon for pellets transporting
The specialized hopper car is designed for the transportation of 1520 mm hot coils and agglomerate with a temperature not higher than 700 °C on railway tracks, as well as for their mechanical unloading.
The car allows uniform unloading of ballast materials along the entire length of the ballast prism, on one or both sides of the track, in the middle of the track, without falling asleep on the rail heads. Brake – Running gear – two two-axle trolleys mod. 18-000 (GOST 9246-79). Self-clutch CA-3. The absorbing apparatus is typical.
