Railcar Thawing Systems

Anyone who has come up against a 100 ton railcar with frozen material knows the unique challenges of unloading railcars in winter. As long as rail remains the leading transport method of bulk materials, thawing railcars is a necessary process for our industries.

Selecting the most efficient energy source for thawing and creating the most effective processes in which it is to be done has been the business of APEC Thermal for years. We evaluate the unique characteristics of each site to create a system that is cost-effective and productive. APEC Thermal proposes and implements a thawing system that minimizes energy usage and cost while maximizing speed and efficiency. Our many years of experience with radiant infrared heating systems and our relationships with both Enerco brand gas infrared heaters and Aitken brand electric infrared heaters make us the leader in thawing system application.
