TY - JOUR AU - Glukhov, N. AB - CONTAINERS FOR THE TRANSPORTATIO N OF FERROALLOYS N. I. Glukhov In Kuznets Metallurgical Combine, two types of containers have been tested for centralized transportation of ferroalloys from the main warehouse to the using shops~ scoop type and grab bucket type. The scoop type had a number of shortcomings and therefore their use has been abandoned. At the present time grab bucket type containers with a volume of 3 m 3 holding 12-13 tons of ferroalloys are used. Their dimensions are 2030 mm long, 1600 mm wide, and 1600 mm high to the upper edge. The case of the container has four lugs, two for traasporting and two for unloading. Previously, ferroalloys from the gondolas were unloaded through a hatch onto a platform placed at the 1eve! of the rails and then manually loaded into containers. Later this operation was mechanized. Along the railroad tracks a trench was dug and lined with metal plates. On the bottom of the trench along the whole length of the car containers are placed directly against each other and the side wall, and when the hatches are opened the ferroat!oys drop directly into the containers. The loaded containers are placed to the side by TI - Containers for the transportation of ferroalloys JF - Metallurgist DO - 10.1007/BF00749834 DA - 2004-11-21 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/containers-for-the-transportation-of-ferroalloys-SNfswSGLyx SP - 388 EP - 388 VL - 15 IS - 6 DP - DeepDyve ER -
