In volumes capacities ranging from 43 to 65 cubic metres, Spitzer Silo-Fahrzeuge offers semi-trailer models with tanks in a composite design. Compared to an aluminum vessel, the composite technology provides a higher rigidity with a lower tare weight. Depending on the design of the vehicle, this means a payload advantage of up to 300 kg can be achieved. Furthermore, a comparison with a conventional silo tanker shows that the composite version also features a higher under pressure tightness.
The surface of the vessel interior is sealed by an extremely smooth Gelcoat coating which has a high resistance against acidic or basic transport goods. In addition, the flow characteristic of the load is positively supported during the discharge operation which prevents any load residue remaining in the vessel. Moreover, the bulk material already begins to flow at a lower tilting angle which contributes to increased stability for the tipping semi-trailer during the unloading process. Due to the low thermal conductivity of the composite vessel, condensation formation is also reduced to a minimum.
For the serial production of the composite tankers, a separate production line has been set up where the various tank sizes are manufactured using a specially developed wrapping method. A large number of tests and different test procedures have already confirmed the suitability of the composite construction for serial production. In addition, extensive load tests were carried out in the demanding and tough conditions of daily operations which attested the best values for the vehicle. With the composite bulk semi-trailer from Spitzer, an innovative vehicle is available in the industry which offers economic advantages to bulk forwarders and secures their competitiveness.
