Bottom Dumper

With the help of its international partner, ADOR Tech designs and manufactures bottom dumper (BD) wagons suitable for pellets, rock, and other quickly unloaded commodities and designed for high-capacity continuous bottom discharge.

Bottom Dumper (BD) wagons, which are eight-axle wagons made up of a master and slave wagon, offer fast loading and unloading. Two large hatches at the bottom of the wagon open completely during discharge. We have emphasized the angle of repose to achieve complete emptying and optimize the center of gravity. There is a capacity of 20,000 tonnes per hour for rolling discharge from the wagon.

BD wagons are now in use in the Arctic regions of Sweden and Norway, where they have been tested and proven in a demanding subarctic climate. The BD unloading station is a low-cost solution that provides reliable service in temperatures ranging from −40 to +60 °C.

Models:

• BD 20/8
• BD 25/8
• BD 25/10
• BD 30/12

Benefits:

• ROBUST AND CLIMATE TESTED
• CONTINUOUS DISCHARGE
• MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
• LOW-COST UNLOADING STATION
• SUITABLE FOR EASY UNLOADING
• DISCHARGES UP TO 20,000 TONNES/H

Bottom Dumper Wagon Construction and materials

With more than 100 years of rail ore transportation and steel refinement experience, the construction combines robust bottom door function and low tare. Our ore transport system is more efficient and environmentally friendly because we have used ultra high-strength hot-rolled steel with a yield point of 650 MPa in the body.

A supporting frame distributes the force downward from the load to the chassis in the wagon body. Steel seams are durable, and heat effects on the steel are minimized using advanced techniques, such as laser hybrid welding and laser cutting.

Bottom Dumper Maintenance 

The Bottom Dumper has a modular design, which makes it easy to replace damaged parts. Except for the chassis, our maintenance concept aims to allow two people to exchange any component within two hours.
