MIXRAIL - Transload: A Better Way to Unload Rail Cars—Without the Headaches

If you’ve ever dealt with unloading rail cars the “old way,” you already know—it’s not always smooth. Between under-track pits, slow unload times, and systems that are a pain to maintain, things can get complicated fast.

That’s exactly the kind of problem the MIXSYS MIXRAILTRANSLOAD was built to fix.

No Pit, No Problem

Let’s start with the big one. Traditional systems usually need an under-track pit. That means digging, permits, cost, and long install times.

MIXRAILTRANSLOAD skips all of that.

Instead, it uses a four-screw extraction sled that slides right between the rails and lines up with the hopper. Then a self-leveling airbag system lifts it into place and creates a tight seal so material flows cleanly where it needs to go.

It’s simpler. It’s faster. And it saves a whole lot on installation.

Built to Move When You Need It To

Some setups lock you into one location forever. That’s not always realistic—especially for job sites, DOT projects, or operations that shift over time.

This system is semi-mobile, so you can relocate it when needed. No tearing everything apart or starting from scratch.

Even better, it’s a patented design that doesn’t require FRA approval, which takes a lot of red tape out of the equation.

Handles the Volume Without Slowing You Down

When rail cars show up, you don’t want them sitting there all day.

MIXRAILTRANSLOAD can unload up to 150 tons per hour, keeping product moving and crews on schedule. Whether you're handling cement, flour, fly ash, or something in between, it’s built to keep up.

Cleaner, Safer Discharge

Dust, leaks, and messy transfers can turn into bigger issues—especially in food or fine material applications.

That’s where the auto bag lift seal system with position sensors comes in. It helps create a clean seal at the discharge point, cutting down on loss and keeping things under control.

Works With the Way You Already Operate

Not every facility runs the same, so this system doesn’t try to force you into one setup.

You can:

Load directly into pneumatic tanker trucks

Send material to bulk storage silos

Use pressure, vacuum, or push-pull conveying systems

It’s flexible enough to fit into your process instead of the other way around.

Tough Enough for Any Industry

This isn’t a one-industry piece of equipment. MIXRAILTRANSLOAD is used across:

Cement and concrete

Food and flour processing

Chemicals and minerals

There are also options for abrasion-resistant builds and food-grade designs, depending on what you’re handling.

Straightforward, Practical, and Built to Work

At the end of the day, this system just makes sense. It cuts out unnecessary construction, speeds up unloading, and gives you flexibility without adding complexity.

If rail unloading has been slowing things down, this is a much cleaner way to handle it.
