CARGO BUSINESS 1-10.indd - ZSSK Cargo

The complex of Eastern Slovak Transhipment Yards (ESTY) is located
on the eastern border of Slovakia and the Schengen area, in the
location of contact of two railway gauges - broad (1520 mm) and
standard (1435 mm). Not accidentally, Čierna nad Tisou is known as
the largest inland port in Slovakia.
In ESTY, 90 percent of raw materials and goods imported by rail
from Eastern Europe and Asia are transhipped. Due to this, the
management of ZSSK CARGO decided to commence a reconstruction
of the transhipment complex in Čierna nad Tisou in 2007.
In order to equip this centre with the most modern techniques and
technology, the company concluded a contract with a strategic
partner. This partnership enabled the launch of pilot operation of
a modern rotary tippler on high loading platform III in Čierna nad Tisou
in December 2009.
In addition to shorter stays of broad-gauge wagons, the modern
technology enables to eliminate the risk of damage to wagons. This
will bring along a reduction of financial costs to the company and
will also simplify the logistics of transportations of block trains from
standard gauge. We must also mention a positive environmental
impact of transhipment on the environment and working conditions
of employees. The rotary tippler, together with reconstructed thawing
plant, enables to carry out transhipments all year long.

... a s naloženým širokorozchodným vozňom.
... and with loaded broad-gauge wagon.
Pracovisko velína je vybavené modernou počítačovou a audiovizuálnou technikou,
ktorá umožňuje sledovať činnosť aj priamo v zariadení rotačného výklopníka.
Central control room workplace is equipped with modern computer and
audiovisual technology, which enables to monitor activities directly in the
facility of rotary tippler.
Pod násypníkom sú pristavené vozne normálneho rozchodu, ktoré sa plnia
zhora. Pod násypkou je statická koľajová váha, ktorá umožňuje váženie
nákladu.
Below the hopper, there are standard-gauge wagons available. These are filled
from above. Below the hopper, there is a static wagon weighbridge, which
allows weighing of cargo.
Po vyklopení sa železná ruda vysype do zásobníkov, odtiaľ sa pomocou
zhrňovača dostane na kryté dopravné pásy (na fotografii vpravo), ktoré ju
transportujú cez násypky do vozňa normálneho rozchodu alebo na skládku
pod mostom vysokej rampy.
After unloading, the iron ore is spilled into stackers. Then, by means of
a diverter, it gets to covered conveyor belts (photo right), which transport it
through the hopper into the standard-gauge wagon or to the stock-pile under
the bridge of high loading platform.
