SHORTLY to be marketed by Metalair Ltd., Wokingham, Berks, are 20ft, 30ft and 40ft powder tank containers equipped with Edbro tipping gear.
The tank unit is constructed from NP8.M aluminium alloy and rests in a seamless steel hollow section frame, the tipping gear being mounted at the extreme front of the frame. Maximum tipping angle is 45 deg and discharge of the single compartment is via a standard Venturi outlet. Working pressure is 15 psi. and the tank is tested to twice this figure.
While it is anticipated that many customers will have vehicle-mounted compressor gear, Metalair states that if required it can fit an electric motor coupled to a Wellworthy W.S,5, Mk1V compressor within the frame girders for operating the tipping gear and aerating the tank contents.
Claimed weight of the 20ft model complete with Edbro 5LN tipping gear and Freightliner/ ISO attachments is 3 ton 10cwt giving a minimum payload of 16 ton 10cwt. Capacity is 650 Cu. ft.
Metalair emphasizes the clean discharge which is available with the tipping gear and compressor combination; container itself has perfectly symmetrical lines.
