Ballast Cleaning
MFS

The Plasser Conveyor and Hopper Cars MFS 40 and MFS 60 are designed to transport ballast, spoils, or other material in train formation to and from various work sites.

The advantage of the MFS is its ability to transport, store, load, and unload material as a single unit or with other like units. It can also be used in combination with the Plasser Ballast Distribution System BDS 100/200, and various Ballast Undercutting/Cleaning Machines.

The unloading conveyor can also be rotated from side to side, allowing spoils or ballast to be discharged into cars on adjacent tracks.
