Container Wagon
The Container Wagon simplifies dumpster waste handling by giving plant
personnel the opportunity to move the carrier and dumpster along fixed rails,
thus ensuring optimum filling of the dumpster along the length of the
unit. The Container Wagon uses proven modular wheel blocks for
robust and simplified service. The Container Wagon frame and guides
are fabricated of carbon and/or stainless steel construction and the geometry
can be customized to specific dumpster configurations. The chain
driven carrier is readily adapted to automation with control logic and sensors
to move the carrier for maximum filling efficiency.
Runway/Track
Where other products use four rails for carriage of the container, Schwing
Bioset's Container Wagon only requires two rails. Since each rail
will impede drainage, 50% fewer rails will simplify wash-down and clean-up of
the area, as well as reduce the tripping hazard.
Idler Carriers
In conformance with safe machine design practice, the Schwing Bioset
Container Wagon utilizes a single driven carriage with positive control at all
times preventing runaway conditions. A single carriage design also
accommodates varying skill levels of drivers who may not be as experienced in
dumpster placement. Designs using multiple trolley's without braking
or positive restraint are prone to runaway conditions and potentially hazardous
situations should the dumpster not be properly aligned on the carriage.
End-of-Travel Limits
For flexibility and convenience Schwing Bioset offers an optional discrete
positioning system integral to the winch drive to monitor the position of the
Container Wagon. Other optional features include a reversing VFD to fine tune
speed control, PLC control logic, and network integration into plant
controls.
Wheel Assemblies
Schwing Bioset's Containerwagon uses wheelblock assemblies which are
similarly used on bridge cranes. The modular design of the wheelblock simplifies
replacement in the unlikely event of failure as they only require bolted
connections to the carrier.
