Wagon Tippler

The state-of-the-art Wagon Tipplers manufactured by TRF are in accordance with the Indian standards and the prescribed norms lay down by the statutory bodies. The wagon tippler is designed to unload materials like coal, coke, iron ore, etc., from the open type railway wagons, viz; Box/Box N HA/Box N MKD-II /OZ/O, etc. It is also capable of performing the function of weighing the gross and tare weight of wagons by incorporating an integral weighbridge. TRF wagon tipplers are of sturdy construction and require negligible maintenance. The tippler is of latest design having main sectors carried on shafts supported on trunnion bearings. The wagon is clamped, automatically on the table during tippling and no hand adjustments are necessary. A wide range of wagons can be accommodated and the clamping arrangements are such that it is firmly held without damage or undue pressure on any part of the wagon. The machine is capable of automatically clamping (by hydraulic clamping) and tipping specified 8-wheeler bogie type broad gauge open wagons. The tippler empties wagons above rail level and inverts them through a maximum angle of 160 degrees so as to discharge the material into the hopper. The tippler is a positive gear operated hydraulic driven machine of massive and robust construction and designed for continuous and arduous duty. It is counter balanced at each stage of its operation. It carries the wagon with pin-jointed connections between the components, thus giving an articulated construction. The sector gear is mounted on the periphery of end rings and driven by pinion mounted on line shaft powered by gearbox and motor, etc. Special features: failsafe EM brake, hydraulic clamping system, maintenance free operation, and robust and reliable. Main components: tippler drive unit (hydraulic drive with power pack)/electro-mechanical, side/end ring with gear teeth, tippler platform, brakes, counterweights, hydraulic clamping, main bearing and main shaft.
