Dynamic Air is at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge solutions for traction sand for the railroad industry. We understand the nuances and challenges associated with traction sand, from abrasion concerns to ensuring safety in handling. Our systems are precision-engineered to fill freight and commuter locomotives and light rail vehicles efficiently. We prioritize ease of maintenance and continuity of operations, but above all, our emphasis remains firmly on ensuring the safety of personnel. Our solutions encompass every stage: from the unloading of sand, often from bulk trucks or railcars, to storage and pneumatic conveying of sand into our direct sanding modules.
Dynamic Air’s Big Sandy™ direct sanding module is a totally enclosed modular locomotive sanding system. It includes a hopper with integral dust collection and a dense phase pneumatic transporter to convey traction silica sand from the hopper directly to the locomotive. The system features up to four filling wands with counterweighted abrasion resistant hoses, an automatic shut-off valve to stop conveying when the locomotive is filled, and light-weight full flow quick disconnects.
Our Little SandyTM portable locomotive sanding system is a totally self-sufficient sand delivery system mounted on an all-electric Taylor Dunn burden carrier. The system includes a complete dense phase pneumatic conveying system, a heavy-duty weatherproof enclosure, 20 feet of hose and an aluminum fill wand. |
