ALL-CON Railcar Unloading Systems

– A Unique Approach

Unlike other companies that tend to offer “what they offer” over a broad range of applications, ALL-CON delves deep to understand each customer’s needs and challenges. Before beginning the system design phase, we study the plant layout and how the material is to be received. Next, we determine the material's characteristics, the conveying distance and the flow rate of product as it moves through the lines. You can count on ALL-CON to provide railcar unloading, railcar loading, and storage systems that are custom-tailored to your particular operation.

ALL-CON has a long and distinguished record of achievement in designing and installing efficient and dependable railcar unloading systems. Our designs have been known to produce "kinder and gentler" systems, compared to traditional approaches. For example, in the plastics industry, our systems eliminate problematic “angel hair” (strands of melted, laminated plastic that clog filters and increase maintenance costs and system downtime) by incorporating our exclusive pressure differential pot (P/D pot)  that permits low-speed conveyance, requires no compressed air, and has no motorized feeding devices.

Yet, by design, our systems do not sacrifice product throughput. With an ALL-CON system, one customer unloads plastic pellets from a railcar over 390 ft. from the P/D pot at the rate of more than 30,000 lbs. per hour.

We know that in today's manufacturing plants, time is at a premium and engineering and maintenance staffs are often stretched thin. To help relieve some of the burden, ALL-CON also offers engineering, equipment and plant start-up services; pneumatic conveying consultants services; plant personnel training; and trouble-shooting for a variety of bulk handling operations.
