There's no question that Double Crown is preparing the system for use on a large scale. Here's one of the introductory news items to review that contains a lot of info on the applications.
Double Crown Resources Introduces TransLock² Aggregate Material Transport System, a Solution to the Current Rail Industry Capacity Shortage
Double Crown Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: DDCC), a fully reporting company, (hereinafter, "Double Crown") is very proud to present TransLock² (TransLock Squared), the company's advanced and recently redesigned, patent-pending aggregate material transport system for water, road and rail shipments. The design goal of TransLock² was to use a standardized system for the majority of products – a system that is universal and universally superior to the existing model. TransLock² is, in essence, a global, universal macro logistics enhancement. Additionally, TransLock² can now offer a ready solution to the current significant capacity shortage in the North American rail industry which has been precipitated by the rapidly growing demands of the shale oil & gas drilling boom. TransLock² can be used to convert ordinary intermodal flatbed rail cars, which are available in plentiful supply but generally not useful for aggregate cargo, into 100 ton, sealed aggregate commodity carriers.
The Double Crown TransLock² matches existing globally accepted container size, dimensions, weight restrictions, pickup points, delivery systems and conveyance methods. What makes Double Crown's product unique is that it is built to maximize the macro logistics methods of transport, enhancing the intermodal logistic business model by connecting the containers once they reach their point of destination. A vertical interlock allows the material in the two upper containers to gravity feed into the lower containers. Once the vertical connections have been made, the horizontal interlock between the two lower containers connects the Venturi/pneumatic conveyance system together. Thus, one connection can be made and the total cargo can be transferred into hoppers and/or silos and/or mixers and/or conveyors.
A standard rail car can transport a maximum of 100 tons of aggregate material. By connecting four TransLock² containers Double Crown's system is able to duplicate that same quantity of material to be transferred at close to or as close to the current transfer rate. Unlike a covered rail car, TransLock² containers can be off-loaded and used as silos and/or storage to be transferred at a time of choice. Also unlike a covered rail car, TransLock² containers can be utilized for a multitude of different products. These units can carry aggregates, chemicals, fluids, and virtually all types of commodity products. Some TransLock² containers will be industry specific and will have industry specific hoses, valves, attachments, liners, etc., and conveyance delivery systems.
Regarding the market introduction of Double Crown's TransLock² system at this time, President Allen E. Lopez stated, "We are now ready to offer the global shipping industry a technological leap forward in industrial commodity transport that can bring across the board enhancements which are simply unmatched by any other option available today. The timing of the TransLock² introduction has also coincided with a very significant development in the North American shale energy sector. The current tremendous increase in rail shipments of materials to and from shale oilfields has pushed the rail industry to its capacity limits, so much so that other rail shipments, especially in agriculture, are facing long delays and unavailability of sufficient carrier cars. Double Crown Resources has an immediate solution to this major problem with the TransLock² system which can dramatically increase the capacity of existing rail lines for aggregate commodities by turning ordinary intermodal flatbed cars into high efficiency, cost saving and environmentally friendly platforms. We are now offering operational demonstrations of TransLock² at a location near our offices in Houston, TX. We welcome inquiries from any company involved in aggregate commodity shipping and we very much look forward to showing all that TransLock² can do."
Patent or not there are other requirements necessary prior to the Translock being used commercially. These requirements have never been addressed by the management of DDCC.
