The
Rail-Veyor® Bulk Material Transportation System,
Patent Pending, combines the best of conventional railroads, overland
conveyors, trucks and slurry pipeline transport. It represents
a novel, practical approach to moving materials economically
over short and intermediate distances from 400 meters to over 125 kilometers.
The
Rail-Veyor® Bulk Material Transportation System
(RBMTS) moves materials by use of a light rail track system
with a series of two wheeled, inter-connected cars that effectively
represent a long, open trough moving along the track. Each
car is connected to the car in front with a connection that
allows articulated movement for curves and dumping. Sealing
of the gap between cars is maintained by the use of overlapping
elastomer flaps, which prevent leakage of the material and
act as a discharge chute for dumping load after being transported.
