Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for handling materials and in particular an environmentally sensitive system for economically transporting metropolitan waste to land fill sites.
- balers or compactors that can directly engage the end of a container on the back of a semitrailer.
- Metropolitan waste from the garbage trucks is fed to the hoppers above the compactors which compress the refuse directly into the container on the truck thereby removing the
- the container can then be transported by rail to a point at or near the land
- a rail car including:
- a chassis adapted to travel on a track; a longitudinally extending container for compacted refuse material, the container
- the present invention provides a materials handling system including:
- a rail car having a chassis adapted to travel on a track
- a longitudinally extending container for compacted material having a closeable opening for loading or unloading material through at least one longitudinal end
- chassis to permit in situ loading via the closeable opening
- the container is displaced relative to the chassis to operatively engage the loading
- the present invention provides a method of transporting material
- a rail car having: a chassis adapted to travel on a track; a longitudinally extending container having a closeable opening for loading or
- the container is selectively rotatable relative to the chassis.
- the material is loaded and unloaded through the closeable opening.
- the material is metropolitan waste and the collection point is a regional transfer station wherein the loading means includes a compactor for compressing the
- stabilising means are provided to support and stabilise the rail car
- the distribution point is adjacent a land fill site and the
- unloading means is a hydraulically actuated telescopic ram capable of engaging the compressed waste through one opening in the container and pushing it out the opening in the other end of the container.
- trailer of a heavy haulage truck is
- Figure 1 shows a schematic elevation of a regional transfer station according to the
- Figure 2 shows a plan view of the regional transfer station shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a schematic elevation of the rail car being unloaded at the distribution
- Figure 4 is a plan view of the unloading operation at the distribution point.
- garbage trucks 1 and taken to a regional transfer station 2.
- the garbage trucks 1 enter
- the transfer station is of split level construction.
- the compactor is fed by a
- the compactor 4 crushes the waste material to minimise its volume.
- the compactor 4 crushes the waste material to minimise its volume.
- hydraulic compactor 4 crushes the material such that it no longer has "memory”.
- a suitable compactor is the SP industries CP-13001 compactor which has a 10
- the outlet 5 of the compactor 4 is operatively engaged with the open end 11 of the
- the container 6 is constructed from high tensile steel with 4 mm 3 CR 12-500 MPa stainless steel plate. Nolume displacement is 72 cubic
- the head of the compactor is designed with 3 vertical pinning tunnels (not shown)
- stabilising mounts 8 and 9 are disengaged.
- the container is then rotated on the bearing 10 back into alignment with the chassis 12 of the rail car 7 and locked into position.
- rail car 7 may then be transported via track 13 to the remote distribution point.
- the life expectancy of the containers is 3 or 4 times that of a
- the compaction container can easily be removed for
- Tare weight of the compaction container is 8,200 kg with a load rating capacity to 40,000 kg. High capacity to 37 tonnes can be used where the
- processing plant or land fill is located in close proximity to rail and road transport on
- the tare weight of a rail wagon suitable for 2 containers is
- New wagons can be manufactured or existing rolling stock
- a spur of track 13 is provided at a location convenient to the land fill site.
- the rail cars 7 are positioned such that the end 11 of the
- container 6 can be operatively engaged with the hydraulic unloading ram 15.
- the driving end 17 is self-aligning and runs on UHMW plastic bearings with
- the floor of the trailer 19 is provided with a conveyor means such as
- the present invention allows the present system which removes the need for heavy
- a small town transfer station could service a
- filled container may be collected by the train on its way to the major land fill.
