Dynamic Air: Big Sandy Direct Sanding Module
Dynamic Air will be exhibiting the Big Sandy Direct Sanding Module for locomotives in booth 4265 at the upcoming Railway Interchange show in Minneapolis.
The Big Sandy direct sanding module includes a hopper with integral dust collection and a dense phase pneumatic transporter to convey traction silica sand from the hopper directly to the locomotive.
The compact preassembled modular design fits between two railroad tracks and is dust- and weather-tight, according to the company. Four access doors provide complete access to every mechanical and electrical component for maintenance purposes and to shield against harsh weather elements and the negative effects of the sun.
Included are up to four filling wands with counterweighted abrasion resistant hoses, in addition to an automatic shut-off valve to stop conveying when the locomotive is completely filled. Also included are light-weight full flow quick disconnects.
