Shepelin UDC 666.663.002.71 The packet method of loading ceramic pipes has been introduced at the plant to shorten the idle time of railroad cars and to reduce expenditures. The fired pipes after sorting are stacked in metal containers placed on the platform of an electric car. The length of the container is equal to the width of a railroad gondola car. Depending on diameter, 4-6 six rows of pipes with 6-10 pipes in each row are stacked in the container. Thus, the container holds 57 150-mm-diam. pipes, 30 200-mm-diam., and 26 250-ram-diam. The stacking of the pipes in the container corresponds to their position in the railroad car during transportation. The container is transported by electric car to the finished-products storehouse, where the pipes are reloaded from the container to the gondola car by means of a gantry crane with the aid of multirow fork lifts. In the absence of gondola cars the pipes are stacked in stationary containers installed in the storehouse in four rows with a space for the passage of the electric cars between them. The capacity of one stationary container is equal to the capacity of two transportable ones.
