Bottom Equipment

Midland Outlet Nozzles, Valve Mounting Saddles and Poppet-Style Bottom Outlet Valves are specially engineered to reduce cost and improve unloading times without sacrificing operator safety. A simple vertical plug motion utilizes the lading weight to increase the positive sealing action of the valve and reduce the probability of a leak. Midland’s exclusive, low-profile design eliminates the need for AAR required skids, saving as much as 10% of the total equipment cost for a tank car. Midland bottom equipment products are available with full steam jacket and remote operation extension handles for faster unloading while operators maintain a safe distance from hazardous chemicals.
