Airslide hoppers were developed to move bulk goods that don’t flow well in ordinary hoppers—such as flour, starch, sugar and plastics—by pumping air through a permeable bottom to fluidize the load and discharge it through the outlets. The original 2,600-cubic-foot, 70-ton single-bay car first appeared in the 1950s, with some cars leased to sugar and bakery companies; later, larger configurations were introduced, and some smaller cars were permanently joined into two-unit sets for a total capacity of 5,200 cubic feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eOn the model, three body styles are offered, with a highly detailed underbody and outlet piping; see-through roof walk; factory-installed wire grab irons and brake piping; separately applied round roof hatches and brake wheel; options for roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks; machined metal wheels with RP25 contours; weighting for stable operation; body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers; accurately painted and printed details on a highly detailed injection-molded body; and an 18-inch minimum radius, making it compatible with most HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis (ATHG)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924937064500,"sku":"ATHG-2138","price":47.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG-2138.jpg?v=1782146008","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg-2138","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
