UPV 25 Car hauling mechanism UPV 25

Car Hauling mechanism is applied for periodic hauling of car trains of any sequence, consisting of four, six and eight open-box cars with total mass - up to 2000 tones to the loading and unloading points of mines and processing plants.

The device consists of position switch branch, two anchorage devices, current-carrying device, cabling, completed circuit and bridge-type pusher with underground resistant balk. The pusher moves along the car train by rolling on the round-linked chain lying on the ground.

The  UPV 25 is remotely controlled. The empty car train is delivered by locomotive to the loading point in the UPV 25 operation zone so that the first car of the train stopped under the loading bunker. The locomotive is set free for the period of loading. The UPV 25 pusher is delivered to the first open-box car and stopped. The resistant balk is lowered until catching the specific lock with hook-up mechanism of the open-box car. While the cars are getting filled, the pusher drags the car train at the speed of 0,22 m/sec.

The speed is regulated depending on the material flux level. The pusher replaces the car train until the group of open box cars (six 4-axels open box cars) is overloaded. The balk slopes down between loaded and empty open box car, and it connects with car train. The pusher drive is switched on.The car train movement and loading of the group of open box cars start to be in progress. The cycle repeats until car train loading process is finished. All loading mechanisms switch off and the filled car train is driven by locomotive out of the loading zone.
