Tank & Special type Wagons
Tank & Special type Wagons
Tank wagons are crucial for transporting various liquids and chemical products, including petrol, diesel, caustic soda, alumina, and even milk. These wagons are designed with cylindrical tanks to securely hold and transport these liquids in bulk, ensuring safety and efficiency. Their specialized design and construction make them a key component in industries such as petroleum, chemical processing, and dairy logistics.
Key features include:
- Carrying Capacity (Payload): Up to 57 MT, depending on the sub-variant.
- Volumetric Capacity: Ranges from 40 CuM to 70 CuM, offering substantial space for transporting large volumes of liquids.
- Material of Construction: Made from Mild Steel (MS) or a combination of Mild Steel and Stainless Steel (SS), depending on the specific sub-variant, ensuring durability and compatibility with the transported liquids.
- Loaded Speed: Up to 80 Km/h, allowing for timely transportation over long distances.
Performance and Speed Capabilities
Tank wagons are built for efficiency and safety, ensuring that liquids and chemicals are transported securely over long distances. With a loaded speed of up to 80 Km/h, these wagons offer reliable performance while maintaining safety protocols for transporting volatile or corrosive materials. Each variant is designed to handle specific liquid types, ensuring the materials are kept in optimal conditions during transit. Whether carrying petrol, caustic soda, or milk, tank wagons provide a safe and efficient solution for liquid transportation.
Popular Tank Wagon Variants and Their Applications
Different tank wagon variants are designed for specific liquids, ensuring safe handling and transportation of substances that require secure containment. Below are the most common tank wagon variants and their typical uses:
- BTPN Wagon (Mild Steel & Stainless Steel): This variant is specially designed for the transportation of petrol and diesel. The wagon’s tank structure is built to withstand the volatile nature of fuel, ensuring safety during transit. The material choice of Mild Steel combined with Stainless Steel adds strength and prevents corrosion, making it suitable for carrying petroleum products.
- BTAP Wagon (Mild Steel & Stainless Steel): Designed to transport alumina, this variant is equipped to handle the bulk movement of this essential industrial material. The combination of Mild Steel and Stainless Steel construction ensures both durability and compatibility with alumina’s chemical properties.
