A dual staircase with handrails flanks the machine allowing workers to cross the paving train without risk of being on the ground between machines. The MTV-1100e is material transfer vehicle powered by a 250-hp Cummins Tier-4 Final engine, and features a dump hopper with 22-in. triple-pitch segmented auger and offers a 500-tph capacity.
The material transfer design of the Roadtec MTV-1100e uses triple pitch augers in the dump hopper for mild re-blending before the material moves toward the paver. The MTV achieves the most segregation correction possible by placing the focus in the dump hopper where the machine has the largest segment of mix to pull from. The design features anti-segregation technology to keep the material in the best condition throughout the transfer process.
A vibrating bottom plate in the hopper prevents material build-up and the heavy-duty swiveling support casters under the hopper provide smooth movement. The dump hopper is controlled from the main operator platform.
Hydraulically operated clean-out doors are located at each conveyor. Maintenance items such as grease points, and fluid-fills are reached from the ground and do not require personnel to open the hood or crawl under the machine on the ground for regular checks.
