Slurry Cars: The RipTide™ agitation system for rail cars is one of the most versitile agitation systems available from Sumter Transport. In as little as 15 minutes agitation time, the RipTide™ agitator can easily resuspend heavy amounts of solids into solution or suspension. With RipTide™ system the car empties clean and residue free the first time every time.
Dry to Wet: Our most recent agitation system will provide the ultimate in freight savings. The dry to wet pressure differential car is designed to transport dry material at maximum weight allowed and then add liquid at your customer's destination. This means you no longer pay to transport liquid that can be added at the destination.

|
|
After two years of engineering and testing, the RipTide™ agitation system has received approval from the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
|
|
For the first time, products that were traditionally limited to trucks can now be transported by rail.
|
|
The RipTide™ agitation system can be used for virgin as well as waste products, such as waste blended fuels, clay slurries, calcium carbonate slurries, fertilizers, liquors, or even orange pulp.
|
|
Torque and horsepower requirements for the RipTide™ system can be custom designed to fit your particular application.
|
|
In many cases the RipTide™ agitation system has direct mounted blades, so there are no wear items such as bearings, shafts, or sleeves.
|
|
The Maitland Company owns several agitation system patents and has multiple agitation system patents pending.
