The side dump truck is a type of transportation equipment that is used for self-unloading. Unlike other dump trucks, it has no capacity and requires a traction locomotive or lifting winch to work. It is commonly used in mining, tunnel construction, engineering projects, and other related departments for indoor, open-air, and tunnel rail transportation. In this article, we will discuss how this type of truck functions.
In order to use the side dump mine car, it must be accompanied by a traction locomotive. The car's side door can be opened by the pull rod to unload ore. It is commonly used in metallurgy, mining, coal mines, railway, highway tunnel, hydraulic culvert, military culvert, and other industries. This equipment is suitable for excavation, construction, simple support, and efficient transportation of slag in underground mine roadways.
If the speed at which ore is being loaded is less than 500mm/s, then the ore scraper can be maneuvered to the side using the power winch. It is imperative that the weight of the ore is not more than 500mm/s. Next, when the trunk turns to form the horizontal shape for unloading, the door is simultaneously opened to a particular extent. This step signifies the completion of unloading the tramcar. Once the process is over, the curved rail door enables the mine car to shut automatically in its original place during the return journey.
The side dump mine car is an excellent choice for transportation in mining, tunnel, engineering construction, and other relevant departments both indoors and outdoors. With three gauge options of 600mm, 762mm, and 900mm, users can choose the most suitable one for their needs. This truck is ideal for loading ore rock and sand with a block size of more than 500mm. However, the free fall height for loading block materials should not exceed 1m.
