Conveyor and Hopper Cars MFS120 and MFS40

MFS units are open-sided wagons in standard railway vehicle design with a floor conveyor belt in the hopper and a transfer conveyor belt at the front end of the unit.

The floor conveyor belt enables continuous filling of the hopper or passing on the material. The transfer conveyor belt discharges the loose material into the next hopper or to the side at a suitable location. The belt can be slewed 45° to the left or to the right hand side, tilt warning and tilt protection prevents the vehicle from tipping during discharging. A protected workplace with control and monitoring instruments for the conveyor belts is standard design. The MFS units can be put together in any given number to form a material train. MFS units with rigid transfer conveyor belt are used in formation as part of the conveyor line and/or as hoppers. Unloading is performed by an MFS unit in the formation with slewing conveyor belt.

The hoppers are suitable for all kinds of loose material. All conveyor belts are powered hydraulically. A diesel engine supplies the power.
