GATC 2600 Airslide Hoppers
| PROTOTYPE
INFORMAT | | For
the first half of the 20th century, bulk goods were usually bagged and carried
in boxcars. After the late 1940s, covered hoppers greatly simplified the process
by allowing the bulk material to be poured in through the roof hatches and dumped
out the hopper bays. However, flour, starch, sugar and plastics do not “flow”
easily from a standard hopper bay. To solve this problem, the Fuller Company of
Catasauqua, PA, patented the Airslide concept. In an Airslide covered hopper,
the bays are formed into two narrow, steep-sided troughs with a layer of air-permeable
material at the bottom. Air is pumped through the material causing the lading
to fluidize and flow easily through the hopper outlets.Starting in 1953, General
American Transportation began building Airslide covered hoppers. One of the two
original configurations was a 2,600-cubic foot, single-bay car with a 70-ton capacity.
In addition to railroad-owned cars, there were a number of Airslide covered hoppers
leased by GATC to sugar and bakery companies. | | FEATURES: |
