Open Type
Open Wagons
Open wagons are a vital component in the transportation of bulk materials such as coal, iron ore, and other mineral ores. Designed for high efficiency, these wagons facilitate the movement of large quantities of raw materials across significant distances. Their robust design and adaptability to different materials make them indispensable in industries such as mining, energy, and metallurgy.
Key features include:
- Carrying Capacity (Payload): Ranges from 58 MT to 80 MT, depending on sub-variants.
- Volumetric Capacity: Ranges from 56 CuM to 69 CuM.
- Material of Construction: Built with either Mild Steel or Stainless Steel, adhering to IRS standards, or a combination of both materials for optimized strength and durability.
Performance and Speed Capabilities
Open wagons not only carry large loads but also operate at impressive speeds, ensuring timely delivery and efficient transport logistics. The loaded speed of these wagons ranges from 75 Km/h to 100 Km/h, depending on the variant and its payload. This makes them suitable for long-distance hauls, reducing transit time and operational costs. With optimized speed and payload capacities, these wagons provide a reliable solution for transporting bulk materials efficiently.
Popular Wagon Variants and Their Applications
Different industries require specific types of wagons based on the nature of the materials transported and other operational demands. Here are some of the most popular open wagon variants, designed to meet varying industrial needs:
- BOXNHL (IRS ): Constructed from stainless steel, this variant is known for its durability and ability to handle high-load capacities with ease, making it ideal for transporting coal.
- BOXNS (IRS ): Similar to the BOXNHL but with additional features to improve its overall performance, especially in terms of wear and tear resistance.
