The Center Flow Pressureaide Car made by American Car & Foundry’s was developed in 1979, the Center Flow Pressureaide is a pressure differential car especially designed for the transport and handling of dry, powdered commodities such as flour, starch, talc, clay, limestone, and others. The car features four compartments and has a capacity of 5,000 cubic feet.
The Pressureaide car operates with internal pressures up to 15 psi for fast, efficient unloading. Only one air-supply hose is required to pressurize the car, and one product line is needed for discharge. The loading hatches are equipped with neoprene gaskets, providing a pressure tight seal to insure contamination free shipping. Since its introduction, the Pressureaide has been well received. In 1998, ACF began producing a 5,300 cubic foot Pressureaide model.
