Sand Filling Systems

Mobile Sand Filling System, the railway vehicle consumes the sand for eliminating weak friction between the wheel and rail while it's running on the rail. Daily or weekly, this lost sand must be refilled. Loading sand manually causes high labor hours and costs for railway vehicle operators. That solution requirement prompts the operator companies to Mobile Sand Filling System (KDA) in order to put back the lost sand comfortably, safely, and efficiently. Please refer to the following pages of the website as a guide to correctly determine the product/solution.

Customer Requirements Determination:

In the decision phase of purchasing a Mobile Sand Filling System (KDA) to refill brake sand into rail vehicles' sandboxes, please clearly define the below conditions for determining the correct type of Mobile Sand Filling System for your operation.

  • The ground on which the sand filling system will be moved,
  • Ambient conditions, where it will be stored while at a standstill,
  • Power supply output in terms of voltage and amperage,
  • Any specific features that the KDA must have,
  • Track crossings grooves and offsets, including width and height,
  • The distance from the inlet of the sandbox to the end wall of the sandbox,
  • The maximum number of vehicles that will be refilled weekly and daily,
  • Specifications of the brake sand,

Sand Specifications;

KDA performance largely depends on the sand specifications. According to the German DBS 918224 norm, the sand content must be as follows in the table. We test our product with sand mixed according to this norm. If your sand differs from the norm, please clearly define its content or send 55 kg of sand as a sample for conducting a performance test with the correct sand.
