Aluminum alloy powder cement tank trailer quickly seize the market, it is better than steel tank trailer?

Since 2016, the entire truck industry has entered the era of "lightweight". Both OEM and trailers are working on more sophisticated structures and lighter materials. For example, powder material tank trailer, a few years ago began to blow a "aluminum alloy" wind.

In just a few years, it has captured more than half of the market for powder tankers. Let's take the SUNSKY powder cement tank trailer as an example, to explain the characteristics of aluminum alloy cement tank trailer.

The basic structure

First, let's talk about the structure of the bulk cement tank trailer. The feed port of the cement tank trailer is generally above the tank, and the discharge needs to use the air compressor to pressurize the inside of the tank, and the internal powder is "blown out". Therefore, according to the different medium, the shape of the tank of the cement tank traileer will often have a big difference.

The front pipeline of the trailer is connected to the air compressor outwards. The external gas is divided into multiple strands through the pipeline to drive into different positions of the tank body for better discharge.

The discharge port is located at the tail of the tank. Both the intake pipe and the discharge pipe are connected directly to the tank with only one section of pipe, which is then connected to the other end of the pipe by a hose. This way, if the pipe becomes blocked, it can be removed for repair.

Light dead weight, low residual rate, larger load

As we all know, aluminum alloy material has the advantage of light weight. The dead weight of this 28.5 square aluminum tank trailer can be achieved at least 4.88 tons, which can reduce the dead weight of 1.2 to 1.6 tons compared with iron tanks.

Aluminum tanks, on the other hand, have a smoother surface than iron tanks, so there is a lower residual rate of boredom inside. The average steel tank is often left with about 150 kg of powder after unloading, while the aluminum tank is only about 80 kg. This is equivalent to the steel tank and increased the weight of about 70 kilograms.

Because of this, in today's more strict control over the situation,the payload of aluminum tank trailers compared to iron tank is more than 1 ton of goods, in the freight can increase a lot of income, so in recent years, the aluminum tank trailer market share continues to expand.

It's more environmentally friendly to not spray paint

Because the aluminum alloy is not easy to rust and corrode, coupled with the appearance of the more beautiful, so the aluminum cement tank trailers does not need to be painted like the steel tank trailer. Now the environmental protection policy is more and more strict, free from painting, aluminum alloy cement tank trailer production is less a yoke. Reducing processes, increasing capacity and eventually spreading the cost per vehicle can be reduced.

On the other hand, because of the aluminum alloy surface is very bright, easy to reflect, so the rear of the car will generally do on anti glare processing. There are two ways of processing, one is simple spray paint, the other is to polish.

Special assembly process

As we all know, the same materials can be welded to each other, but different materials cannot be welded. Therefore, the assembly process of aluminum alloy cement tank trailer will be different from that of iron tank trailer.

First of all, some accessories that do not need to be removed may be directly installed on the body of the trailer. For example, the brake water tank of this trailer is directly placed on the roof, and the toolbox of some models is also directly hidden in the front and bottom of the tank.

But there are some parts on the trailer can not use aluminum alloy material, such as axle, traction pin. For this, SUNSKY uses riveting treatment. Compared with bolts, this connection is much stronger and more reliable.

Now, the technology of aluminum alloy powder cement tank truck has been relatively perfect, market share, user feedback is also relatively good. As the country further increase the control of excess efforts, light weight of aluminum alloy powder cement tank truck will further occupy the market.
