In 2013 SAMSON Materials Handling (formerly B&W Mechanical Handling) launched the evolution of its Samson® Material Feeder. The MF0814T is a tracked derivative of the unique Samson® Material Feeder principle. Now the machine offers market proven high performance and reliability.

This concept has been developed in conjunction with mining and minerals customers. These customers require the huge holding capacities of up to 50 t offered by the standard MF0814W combined with immense operational durability and accuracy in discharge control – now delivered to operate on the most testing ground conditions.

The Samson® Material Feeder MF08 series is suitable for heavy duty applications with continuous use, including impact loading from articulated dump trucks and large loading shovels. Suitable for a material with bulk density up to 2.6 t/m³ and lumps up to 400 mm, the typical materials handled include limestone, coal and coke, raw slag, alternative fuels, clays and shale and heavy mineral ores.

The MF0814T is self-propelled and operates via an integrated diesel power supply offering excellent flexibility onsite. Self-steering through the umbilical control, the unit can be deployed quickly and independently thereby offering greater utilisation, flexibility and productivity.
