Plastic pellet transportation demands tight control over moisture ingress, leakage, and contamination. Even minor sealing failures at hatches, gates, or discharge points can lead to product loss, rejected loads, cleanup costs, and customer disruption.

VSP Technologies delivers gasket solutions purpose-built for hopper cars, helping operators maintain product integrity, improve unloading performance, and reduce maintenance risks throughout transit.

VSP provides sealing solutions for all critical hopper car components, including:

• Hatch cover gaskets
• Gate gaskets
• End adapter gaskets
• Outlet nozzle and cap gaskets

Each gasket is engineered to match common hopper car configurations and components from major manufacturers, ensuring proper fit, seal integrity, and long service life.

To further streamline installation and maintenance, VSP offers pre-assembled Bolt Set Kits, fully configurable to your specifications.

Each kit can include:

• Correct quantity of bolts
• Washers and nuts
• Gate‑specific configurations or full car sets

Pre-assembled kits reduce installation errors, save time, and help ensure consistent assembly practices across fleets and facilities.
