FULLOAD railcar and truck loading system

The FULLOAD™ railcar and truck loading system eliminates the need for conventional gravity loading systems and mechanical spreaders, while achieving a high percentage of fill

  • Overview

Description

The FULLOAD system is an automated railcar and truck loading system for pelletized or granular materials.

 

Functioning as an extension of a conventional pneumatic transfer system to distribute material in railcar hoppers, the FULLOAD system eliminates the need for conventional gravity loading systems and mechanical spreaders, while achieving a high percentage of fill.

 

The FULLOAD spreader head consists of two dished surfaces strategically spaced so the conveying air accelerates the material in a radially outward pattern with a slightly upward velocity. The head itself has no moving parts. In addition, the FULLOAD system is equipped with a full complement of features to increase the safety of personnel and equipment.
