Railcar Boot-Lift
What is a Railcar Bootlift?
A railcar bootlift is a specialized device used to connect a railcar’s discharge outlet to an under-track conveying system. It ensures a secure, dust-tight seal, preventing material loss, air pollution, and contamination during the unloading process.
Key Features of Railcar Bootlifts
- Secure Connection: Provides a tight seal between the railcar and the conveying system.
- Automatic Operation: Boots are automatically connected, rising as the railcar empties.
- Efficient Material Handling: Minimizes material loss and contamination.
- Ease of Use: Enhances operational efficiency by eliminating the need for workers to crawl under the railcar.
- Safety: Reduces the risk of accidents by facilitating a hands-free connection process.
- Versatility: Suitable for various railcar designs.
Applications
Railcar bootlifts are widely used in industries such as mining, waste management, food processing, and the chemical industry for efficient and clean unloading of materials.
Benefits
- Improved Safety: Reduces the risk of accidents by eliminating the need for manual connection under the railcar.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Provides a smooth and continuous flow of materials, reducing downtime.
- Cost-Effective: Lowers maintenance costs by preventing material build-up and wear.
Using a railcar bootlift in your unloading process can significantly improve efficiency, safety, and cleanliness.
Air Requirements: 1 cfm (0.47 L/sec) at 90 psi (6.2 bar). Air line should include filter, regulator, and lubricator.
To order: please specify type of material that will flow through the boot-lift, if the material is food-grade, type of railcar (single, double, or round gate), and gate flange dimensions.
