The Trinity
Mining Services Rotary Car Dumper unloads trains of mine cars efficiently,
rotating 190° degrees and returning to the upright position in just
five seconds. Gravity does most of the work -the unit does not use any
motors,
gears or drive trains, thus it costs less to buy, operate and maintain
than conventional motor-driven dumpers. Two giant air cylinders start
the overturn- ing motion, then gravity completes the dumping cycle.
"Plant air" or a 5 hp compressor with 20 CFM output provides all the
power needed to dump car after car. The low height makes the sys- tem
ideal for mining and tunneling operations and can be installed both
above and underground.
