Static sand filling system for train and tram sand boxes
Ensure optimal train and tram braking performance with efficient sand filling systems designed to manage sand distribution, reduce manual handling challenges, and maintain traction on slippery tracks.
Pneumatically Pumps Sand into Rail Vehicle Systems
The MULTIRAIL® SandPiper from Schenck Process is a static sand filling system designed for rail and tram industries. This system pneumatically pumps sand directly into vehicle sand boxes, crucial for brake system functionality and traction assistance on slippery tracks. It eliminates manual handling and spillage issues, enhancing operational safety and efficiency. Operated with a petrol pump-style nozzle, it allows sand transfer with reduced dust emission through an integrated exhaust system. This system is particularly suited for depot maintenance schemes, handling multiple roadways simultaneously. With an option for local dispensing points, it streamlines sand box filling across your infrastructure. The design is robust, ensuring long-term reliability, while Schenck’s extensive service and maintenance support ensure optimal performance. Available with customization options, it integrates seamlessly into existing transport maintenance operations, meeting industry standards for safety and efficiency.
