DEVICE FOR REMOVING ADHERING OR FROZEN BULK MATERIALS FROM INTERNAL SURFACES OF RAILCARS

摘要

A device for removing adhering or frozen bulk materials from internal surfaces of railcars comprises one or more magnetic-pulse systems with actuators located on supports on the sides of a railroad track, which consist of a flat inductor and a flat armature mounted with possibility of movement relative to each other. The inductor of each actuator is rigidly secured on the support. To the opposite inductor from the side of a flat armature a metallic striker abuts which is equipped with means for setting the trajectory of its motion from the actuator to the car wall and return to the initial position. The support is located at a distance from the railroad track allowing unimpeded passage along the strikers of railcars of any width.
