What is the Mobile Sand Filling System?

Railway vehicles consume sand to eliminate weak friction between the wheel and rail while operating. This lost sand must be refilled daily or weekly. Manually loading sand causes high labor hours and costs for railway vehicle operators. This workload directs operating companies to Sand Filling Systems (KDA) to refill lost sand conveniently, safely, and efficiently.

See the following pages to identify the KDA model needed.

Customer Requirements Determination:

To select the correct model of Sand Filling System (KDA) for your operation, please provide detailed information regarding the following conditions:

  • Ground Type: The ground on which the system will be operated and moved.
  • Rail Crossings: Details of track crossing grooves and offsets, including their width and height.
  • Environmental Conditions: The environmental conditions where the system will be stored when not in use.
  • Sand Tank Dimensions: The distance from the sand tank's inlet to the sand tank's end wall.
  • Power Supply Requirements: Power supply specifications, including voltage and amperage.
  • Vehicle Filling Frequency: The maximum number of vehicles to be filled weekly and daily.
  • Special Features: Any specific features or requirements that the KDA must have.
  • Sand Specifications: Details about the type and specifications of the sand used.

By providing this information, we can ensure the selection of the most suitable Sand Filling System for your needs.

Sand Specifications;

KDA performance largely depends on the sand properties. According to the German DBS 918224 standard, the sand content should be as in the table. Each model is tested with sand following these standards. If the sand differs from this standard, properties should be clearly defined, or 5 kg sand samples should be sent for performance testing.

Sand Particle Size (mm) Percentage of Particle (%)
> 2,5 0
2,0 – 2,5 Max. 4,0
1,6 – 2,0 Max. 15,0
0,7 – 1,6 Min. 70,0
0,5 – 0,7 Max. 15,0
0,1 – 0,5 Max. 4,0
< 0,1 Max. 0,3
