FIELD: transportation.
SUBSTANCE: device for unloading dispersed material for rail vehicles contains a storage container filled with the dispersed material and a loosening element associated with the outlet opening of the storage container, and also terminating in the immediate vicinity of the clearance between the wheel tread and the rail with a discharge pipeline for the dispersed material. A dosing device and a transporting element are located behind the loosening element. The transporting element is in connection with a shut-off valve and an air supply valve and the discharge pipeline. The dosing device consists of a screw conveyor with a cross section conically tapering to the outlet, located in a tubular housing. Baffle dividers are located between the screw thread blades to create a labyrinth. A method of unloading dispersed material is proposed, using the above plant for unloading the dispersed material.
EFFECT: increasing the reliability of installations for unloading dispersed material.
