Material transfer system (MTS)

The Material Transfer System (MTS) – Closed & Oil-Jacketed System is designed for high-volume handling of thermoplastic road marking materials, especially those with high viscosity and abrasive characteristics. It enables fast and controlled transfer directly to marking equipment, supporting uninterrupted operations on demanding projects. Its enclosed construction helps maintain consistent material condition while reducing exposure during transfer. This makes it a dependable solution for large-scale and continuous marking applications.

Built around a screw conveyor principle, the Material Transfer System (MTS) – Closed & Oil-Jacketed System delivers strong and stable material flow even under heavy-duty use. It achieves transfer rates of approximately 200 liters in about 60 seconds, operating with a screw speed of around 630 rpm and hydraulic pressure near 150 bar. The oil-jacketed design maintains material temperature at approximately 180°C, preventing cooling during movement. This ensures consistent flow and reduces the risk of blockages in the system.

The system is suitable for both thick-layer thermoplastics and sprayable materials, allowing flexibility across different marking methods. Its closed configuration supports clean handling while preserving material quality throughout the transfer process. With its high-capacity output, it is particularly useful in projects requiring rapid refilling and continuous application. The integration of hydraulic drive components allows stable performance even in demanding site conditions.

As part of a complete road marking setup, Leader Infra supplies this system to complement modern marking machines and thermoplastic equipment. It fits into large infrastructure workflows where reliable material supply is critical for maintaining project timelines. The system’s compatibility with various thermoplastic types makes it suitable for highways, city roads, and industrial markings. Its robust design supports long-term use in intensive working environments.

FAQ — How does the oil-jacketed system help during operation? It keeps the thermoplastic material at a stable temperature throughout the transfer process, preventing cooling and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted flow even during continuous high-volume use.
