CONTROL BOX, STOP BLOCK, MECH
CONTROL PANEL BOXES
PNEUMATIC STOP BLOCK
Push button operated boxes
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.
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.
6
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.
HANICAL & 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.
protection from water accumulating
around the rails.
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.
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.
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
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.
