Powder tank car, also known as powder material transport vehicle, refers to the shipment of cement, pulverized coal, stone powder, flour, chemical powder and other particle diameter is not greater than 0.1mm bulk dry material special vehicle, generally widely used in industry, agriculture, commercial, power plant, construction and other industries, belongs to a special model.

From the perspective of structure, powder tank cars are generally horizontal, such as horizontal single warehouse, horizontal double warehouse and horizontal three warehouse, which are mainly single warehouse and double warehouse. The three warehouse belongs to "super large powder tank", which is not widely seen in the market at present.


The feed port of the powder tank car is above the tank body, and the inside of the tank body is provided with an air chamber structure and a fluidized bed. When discharging, the powder loaded in the closed tank body is fluidized by compressed gas, and then it is "blown" out of the tank body. In order to facilitate the flow of powder, a dip Angle will be designed at the bottom of the tank. For those powder with poor liquidity, the dip Angle will be changed to lift function. In addition, according to the different transport medium, the shape of the powder tank car tank is often different.

As a special transport vehicle for powder materials, powder tank cars also have some unique advantages:


1. High loading, unloading and transportation efficiency. Powder tank truck loading and unloading is simple and easy, directly use compressed air, does not need too much manpower participation, can greatly reduce labor consumption, improve working conditions, improve labor productivity;


2. Save packaging materials. The powder tank car does not need to package the powder in the transportation process, which can reduce the packaging cost and save the transportation cost.


3. Large transportation volume. At present, the loading capacity of the common powder tank truck on the market can be up to about 75 square meters, the weight is close to 100 tons, and the transportation capacity is large.


4, powder loss is reduced. Compared with the bagged powder transportation, the loss rate of powder tank transportation is smaller, generally less than 0.5%, and can greatly reduce the damage caused by moisture and other goods;


5. Reduce environmental pollution. Powder tank transportation can reduce packaging waste, save resources, and reduce particle pollution during transportation.

In recent years, with the continuous development of national policies and infrastructure projects, the development speed of powder tank cars has also been greatly improved, and its development trend mainly shows the following aspects:


1. Efficiency.


The dry discharge of powder is not clean, has always been an important indicator performance of the powder tank truck, in order to make the discharge speed faster, discharge residual rate is lower, reduce the fluidized bed area, reduce the four corners of the tank flow, the use of discharging method is endless.


2. Lightweight.


Lightweight is almost the only way for the development of our trailer industry, powder truck is no exception. With the market's pursuit of lightweight, the thickness of powder tank cars is becoming thinner and thinner, such as the use of lighter high-strength steel, the use of aluminum alloy materials, the selection of lightweight components.


3. Security.


For the vehicle, if the safety performance is not up to standard, any other performance is rogue. The loading capacity of the powder tank car is generally relatively large, and the requirements for the strength, toughness, pressure resistance, service life and other conditions of the tank and chassis are relatively higher.

As a key component on the chassis of the powder tank car, the axle bears the load bearing, braking and other performance of the vehicle, but also relates to the weight of the vehicle. According to relevant statistics, the axle weight of a three-axle semi-trailer is about 20% of the total weight of the trailer. Choosing a high performance trailer axle is not only related to the safety of the vehicle, but also related to the lightweight of the vehicle.
