Mineral oil rail tank car

Optimized for the transportation of viscous liquid goods such as heavy fuel oil.
Products can be heated to as much as +190°C to ensure there is no residue from discharging.
Bottom valve, DN 100, heatable. Uncomplicated and inexpensive tank cleaning thanks to externally mounted heating system.
T-piece, DN 100, insulated, can be heated separately. Can be filled via the bottom discharge. Top discharge can be fitted as an option. The addition of a rising pipe can convert it to a chemical tank wagon, e.g. to carry phenol.
