The Side Dumper can handle sticky materials and is designed for loading and discharge from both the left and right side. WATCH OUR PRODUCT VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE youtube.com/kirunawagon FOLLOW KIRUNA WAGON ON SOCIAL MEDIA @kirunawagon

TAIMN 091 built for Boliden, transports copper concentrate from the Aitik mine to the smelter in Rönnskär.

The Side Dumper is designed for efficient and secure transport, maximum productivity and easy maintenance.

The wagon is optimised for easy replacement of wear components such as links, bushings and rubber seals. Also larger parts, such as hatches, are constructed

to be easily unhitched and replaced. High-strength steel is used in framework, profiles and frames for minimised tare weight.

With the goal of making the Side Dumper as production-friendly as possible, the chassis is designed with a central girder. During discharge, the wagon is locked

in correct position whereby external lifters connect to the body and tip it to an angle of 55 degrees.

The wagon can be reclassified with supplemented calculations/ simulations to handle a speed of up to 100 km/h when fully loaded.

A PROVEN SYSTEM

• Low-cost investment

• Low-cost maintenance

• High availability

• Supports roofed wagons

• Fully remote controlled

The Side Dumper Unloading Station unloads up to 20 wagons per hour. The Unloading Station has a simple design and offers a good overall economy.

The wagons can discharge to both left and right and be loaded from both sides. To ensure a complete emptying of the wagons, the robust Side Dumper Unloading Station is equipped with a vibrator. This low-cost system is proven in a subarctic climate.

The Side Dumper Unloading Station comes with a complete program for installation, training and maintenance.

During discharge, mechanical arms position the wagon and hold the chassis while tipping the body to an angle of 55 degrees. In case of a power failure during

operation, the Unloading Station will stop and retain its grip of the body.

For optimal productivity and personal safety, the unloading process is operated completely by handheld remote control. A limited number of wear parts ensures swift maintenance.

Principle drawings for the groundworks are provided and the installation is performed by Kiruna Wagon, who also supervises the start-up process and trains the operators.

The Side Dumper Unloading Station is compatible with all common loading gauges.
