Bulk Sand Portables

 

 

 

 

Larger portable sanding systems are available from 1 to 5 ton capacity.  These units are designed to be mounted on a customer supplied truck or trailer.  Fill the unit from an existing overhead sand supply such as a sand tower and drive to point of use.  No tower? Just order your sand in 3000 lb bulk bags and fill via forklift.

 

 

 

 

Impco’s smooth flow delivery system operates from the locomotive air compressor.  Preconditioning of sand combined with bottom feed provides low pressure sand transfer from unit to sand box.  A deadman control system permits operator to start and stop flow of sand if control is released or hose is pinched, kinked or even cut.
