There are many different kinds of
covered hoppers. While some are shorter (2 bay cement),
most are of the longer variety. Of the longer style,
there are differences in the bottom doors or dumping
mechanisms. Some have doors that slide open to be used
for grain, cement, etc. Some have round pipes which I
believe are used for transferring plastic pellets out of
into hoses. Some hoppers even have somewhat of an
infrastructure of pipe assembly on their bottom sides,
which I assume connect all bays as one. Some covered
hoppers are round ie. Cylindrical hoppers.
In general, can covered hoppers be used for any
commodity a consignee desires (grain, cement, pellets,
pot ash, etc.) or do the features on the hopper
determine what it can be used for - ie. the interior
coating, bottom door type, top hatch opening types, etc.
Are the insides of hoppers washed or cleaned between
uses? Without cleaning, I would think that the purity of
the commodity would not be 100% because of materials
mixing between loads (ie. grain, to pot ash, to cement,
to pellets). I guess this is really what has lead me to
my question - if a hopper is used for grain, then is it
always used for grain? Food manufacturers wouldn't want
cement residue in their grain. A plastics plant wouldn't
want grain molecules clogging up their plastic tooling
molding foundries. Etc.
Generally, it seems the shorter 2 bay covered hoppers
are always used for cement or aggregate of some type.
There must be a reason for cylindrical hoppers which in
my mind are generally used for ash (pot ash, fly ash,
etc.) but if you look at some of the Canadian CYL.
hoppers, it would appear they are used for grain as
well.Do you want to add some info? E-mail

There are general purpose hoppers out there but they
wouldn't mix cement with food. For example certain grain
cars are dedicated for things like malt and barley
service for this very reason. They don't carry any other
types of grain either. There are different kinds of
grains these general purpose hoppers can carry and they
do. Most of the special purpose hoppers this size are in
the private fleets. Most plastics move in the larger 4
bay covered hoppers. Certain chemicals move in the 4650
and 4750 hoppers though. It all depends on the load.. |
