 | RAILCAR THAWING
ETP manufactures equipment that will actually thaw frozen coal in a railcar.
Major utilities may bring in as much as 115 railcars per day, each carrying 100 tons of coal. During the winter months, moisture in the car can freeze, creating a strong bond between the coal and the car's inner walls. Unloading can be challenging and inefficient, with as much as twenty tons of coal remaining in each car.
With ETP's railcar thawing system, customers enjoy summer unloading rates year round.
Our on-site engineering and system consulting services can provide a custom thaw shed heating solution to help reduce waste, increase efficiency and control costs.
