Wisconsin Tripper Conveyor

Custom Tripper Conveyor System

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

When our Wisconsin customer sought a more efficient method for loading railroad ballast material into their customer’s rail cars, they needed a solution that could handle large volumes quickly and with minimal labor. TCI Manufacturing provided the perfect answer: a custom-designed Tripper Conveyor system. This setup has transformed their operation, streamlining the loading process and significantly reducing labor and fuel costs.

The Project

The customer needed a solution to manage and load vast quantities of railroad ballast material into unit trains efficiently. With a massive 330,000 tons of storage available, the system required not only the capability to handle high volumes but also the flexibility to load rail cars rapidly while reducing operational costs.

The Solution: Tripper Conveyor System

TCI Manufacturing engineered a Tripper Conveyor system specifically designed to meet these requirements. Key benefits of this custom solution include:

  • Increased Efficiency: The Tripper Conveyor allows for precise distribution of material, enabling the customer to load their unit trains in significantly less time. This has increased overall productivity and improved the workflow.
  • Reduced Labor and Fuel Costs: By automating much of the loading process, the system requires less manual labor and reduces the use of equipment that consumes fuel, resulting in cost savings and a more environmentally friendly operation.
  • Massive Storage Capability: With 330,000 tons of storage, the system is capable of managing large quantities of ballast material, ensuring a steady supply and reducing the need for frequent restocking or interruptions in loading.

The Results

Since implementing the Tripper Conveyor system, our Wisconsin customer has experienced a marked improvement in their rail car loading process. They can now load unit trains more quickly, using fewer resources, which has led to increased efficiency and significant cost savings. The ability to handle such a large volume of material with this level of precision and speed has greatly enhanced their operation.
