Elecon Mhe Wagon Tippler Catallogue

The rotary wagon tippler inverts railway wagons through 1700 by rotating around the wagon's center of gravity, emptying its contents into a below hopper. It can handle wagons up to 110 tonnes and 3,500mm wide. The tippler clamps the wagon from above and sides during tipping to prevent damage. It uses a hydraulic system to clamp and tip wagons at a maximum rate of 60 per hour to discharge materials. Optional integrated systems include weighing, vibration, and dust suppression.

MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT DIVISION

ROTARY WAGON TIPPLER

The rotary tippler designed for unloading broad-guage open railway by inverting
the wagon by inverting on its own centre of gravity through an angle of 1700,
thereby discharging its contents into hopper below rail. (The tippler is designed to
handle wag-ons having a gross load up to 110 tonnes, height from 2,250 mm
(min) to 3,735 mm max) and a maximum overall width of 3,500 mm. The tippler
ensures handling of wagons, without any damage.

The tippler consists of two circular rings, a platform with travel rails, support
rollers, two girders as well as clamping device, which retains the wagon from the
top as well as from the side during tippling.

The tippler is driven by a drive unit located on one side of the tippler. The driver
unit consists of motor - with flexible coupling, thruster operated brake, helical
gearbox, pinion and toothed rings. The Size / type of drive is decided on the
number of tips/hour required.

The complete hydraulic equipment, including the motor and the oil tank are
located on the tippler itself and rotate along with the tippler. Top clamps and side
beam are hydraulically operated. Wagon is clamped before tippling
operation.The top clamps and side beam are lined with rubber pads
throughout the length of the tippler, which reduces the pressure on wagon
walls.

A loaded wagon is placed on the tippler platform by an in-haul beetle or other


means. after correct placement is achieved, the in-haul beetle returns and
clears the tippler table. The hydraulic system is now actuated, and the
upper and lateral beams rest on the wagon coping and sidewalls. The
hydraulic system incorporates a pressure relief, which balances the pressure of
the wagon springs, thus avoiding any damage to the wagon.

The tipping rate can be varied to suit particular plant requirements, up to


maximum of about 60 wagons per hour, To achieve a throughput of more than
12 wagons per hour, it is necessary to incorporate integrated wagons handling
equipment in the form of a beetle charger.

Dust Suppression
The dust suppression systems can also be embodied in the rotary wagon tippler
to reduce dust nuisance during tipping.

Weighing
An integrated electronic weighbridge records the gross and tare weights of
wagons. The weighbridge includes a printer and a recorder.
A load cell weighbridge can be incorporated with the tippler to print gross, tare
and nett weights as well as other information.

Vibrators
Electrically or pneumatically operated vibrators can be fitted to the top clamps to
assist in the complete discharge to sticky materials from wagon.
