7TH EUROPEAN COKE AND IRONMAKING CONGRESS - ECIC 2016

Innofreight Speditions GmbH is a privately owned company with its headquarters in Austria. Its business area is developing and operating innovative railway transport solutions consisting of special tailor-made containers and wagons together with loading and unloading systems. For the coke and coal supply Innofreight developed the MonTainer, the most innovative container on the European market. It is a strong and reliable open-top-container offering maximum payload and volume. The unloading is done with a highly automated container tipping machine which was implemented in Donawitz in October 2015. With this technology it is possible to have up to 30% higher payload per block train and to reduce the number of trains up to 22% for coke deliveries to Donawitz by conveying the same amount of coke - leading to significant cost saving. For the transport of iron ore Innofreight, together with voestalpine and ÖBB have developed the RockTainer ORE. Due to the use of the voestalpine alform® welding system the container´s tare weight was reduced to a minimum. As a benefit the RockTainer ORE offers 7% up to 25% higher payload compared to standard ore wagons.
