Rail Truck Gondola Liner Cover

We have power generating operation and one of the by products is gypsom that we resell to the wall board companies. When we transport the gypsom via rail cart to our customers 900 miles away we need to try to keep the wind from blowing the dust out of the cart during transportation (and our money blowing "out the window". :-)). Please can you offer a solution to keep our money on the train. Pics and data to follow via email.

We agree with you that it is wise to supress the dust both from an environmental stand point and also from the point of saving money. Following our telephone conversation I think that there are a number of options and the key points to think around are: what type of rail tarpaulin cover will be best, what is the speed that the train will travel at, how quickly does the cover need to be put into position and removed, and how will it be stored. We need to look at the solution in terms of how it will fit into the overall process of your operations and with the manpower you have available.

See Railcar Tarpaulin and cover tarps for the proposal that you can use. We have aimed to cover the requirments with a solution that will meet the requirements of dust surpression and easy to use in your process.
