Sand Delivery Systems
Safe, dust-controlled filling of traction sand into tram and train sandboxes.
Freightquip supplies automated railroad sanding equipment Systems from Newtek, designed to ensure safe, dust-controlled filling of traction sand into train and tram sandboxes. These systems enhance rail-wheel adhesion under low-friction conditions, improving braking, acceleration, and safety across diverse rail environments.
Technical Overview:
Newtek sand delivery systems are available as fixed or mobile units, with silo storage capacities of up to 32 cubic metres. Sand is conveyed pneumatically or under pressure to fill sandboxes directly through enclosed hose systems, reducing dust and environmental impact. Digital level sensors and volume counters enable precise fill management. Hose arms are designed for ergonomic, single-operator use and can be automated for large depot servicing.
