Talns 970
Covered bulk freight wagons with bulk gravity unloading, hydraulic flap-closing system and four wheelsets. These wagons are used for transporting moisture-sensitive bulk goods. Certain wagons have an inner coating to improve flowability.

Additional information:
The wagon is designed for transporting moisture-sensitive bulk goods for unloading in underground bunkers. Places of unloading must ensure the four side flaps will open simultaneously and the cargo will discharge below the top of rail unobstructed.
The wagon is an all-steel welded structure using special sections, sections, folded sheet metal and sheets. The wagon body consists of the saddle-shaped floor, the end walls firmly connected to the underframe trusses, the side walls, the four discharge flaps hinged to the side walls (side flaps) and the transverse saddle that divides the wagon body into two equally sized compartments. The saddle-shaped floor is a truss structure with a segmented design. The saddle angle is 49° to the horizontal. On the wagon body, which is divided into two compartments by the transverse saddle, two outlet openings are provided in the lower area on each side, which are closed by side flaps. The corners of the compartments are lined with additional sheet metal strips so that no cargo residue is left behind. Between the solebars are the pivot bolsters, the crossbearers, the beams for the air brake system and the drive for the flap-closing system.
The discharge flaps are opened and closed by a hydraulically powered camlock shaft closing mechanism. All four flaps are opened or closed simultaneously.
The lateral sliding roof is opened and closed via a hydraulic cylinder located in the centre of the wagon. The pressurised oil required for the hydraulic equipment is pumped by a wheelset pump into a gas-loaded accumulator during travel. Three actuation options are provided for opening and closing the flaps via the hydraulic equipment:
- Automatic or individual operation of the hydraulic closure system from a trackside control panel via radio ("Funa" radio remote control).
- Actuation of the hydraulic control device with a long-handled carriage key (DIN 25255) from a side service aisle in the bunker area.
- Actuation of the control device from the wagon platform by means of a manual control device located on the wagon end wall.
