CONTROL BOX, STOP BLOCK, MECH CONTROL PANEL BOXES Push button operated boxes This enclosure box will allow the operator to control the movement of rail change and stop block devices SAFELY. All boxes are painted orange to increase visibility and fitted with a 5/2 way Push button control valve, spring return or detent function (conversion to electric valve optional). Auto drain filter inside enclosures will remove dirt and water from air line. Lubricator ensures longer service life by providing lubrication into air line. SAFETY lock out valve will ensure the air line is free from air pressure during maintenance. Lockable lid fitted to all enclosures. PNEUMATIC STOPBLOCK Pneumatically controlled and used in conjunction with a Push button or electrically operated control box, the STOP BLOCK DEVICE will allow the operator to SAFELY move the stop block up or down from a SAFE location, thus visually directing rail traffic. The control box will send pressurised air to the double acting pneumatic actuator inside the stop block, causing the actuator to turn 90, switching the stop block arm in an up or down position. Once the valve has been switched, the arm will turn the opposite direction. Painted yellow to increase visibility, an easily removable lid allows quick maintenance. All enclosure boxes are supplied with filter, lubricator and SAFETY lock out valve. Lock out feature allows the system to vent air, lock the system free from air with a key lock and allows SAFE maintenance to be done. The system comes with a risk assessment. 6
ANICAL & PNEUMATIC RAIL SWITCH PNEUMATIC RAIL SWITCH Pneumatically controlled rail switch device, fitted with a double acting pneumatic cylinder will allow the operator to change the direction of the rail from a SAFE distance, allowing hoppers and moving cars to move SAFELY in the desired direction. With the use of a remotely controlled pneumatic push button valve, the air will be sent to the linear cylinder, switching the cylinder inside the fabrication and causing the connecting arm to change the rail direction. Once the button is disengaged, the rail will return to the opposite position. Our rail switches can be ordered to function with a traffic light system (robot). The magnetic piston inside the cylinder, once in contact with the magnetic sensors will supply an electrical signal to the light system and signal a visual red or green light. Vertical Rail switches are also available to be used in application where the cylinder/sensors need to be free from water, installed vertically these rail switches provide better protection from water accumulating around the rails. Fabricated box, painted yellow to increase visibility, easily removable lid allows quick maintenance. Enclosure box supplied with filter, lubricator and SAFETY lock out valve. Lock out feature allows the system to vent air, lock the system free from air with a key lock and allows SAFE maintenance to be done. The system comes with a risk assessment. MECHANICAL RAIL SWITCH Mechanically controlled rail switch device, once fitted to rail enables the operator to change the direction of the rail manually. This allows hopper and moving cars to move SAFELY in the desired direction. Mechanical rail switch (Tumbler) incorporates the latest mechanical technology. We have obtained a superior product with the characteristics of reliability, high performance, long cycle life, and the highest level of corrosion protection. CONTROL BOX STOP BLOCK RAIL SWITCH 7
