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 and has a flap deflection that is approx. 320 mm larger than the original Talns 970 (danger zone 2,500 mm half width). 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.
