Martin® Railcar Opener Ensures Smooth Unloading
Up to four times a week, the terminal receives unit trains of 40 railcars at a time. Unloading proceeds round the clock, one car every 40 minutes, until all cars are emptied allowing the train to return to the manufacturing plant for another load. To keep the trains in motion, and the terminal’s five silos full, it is important that unloading proceed smoothly.
