R. Murfitt Ltd., Weasenhall Lane, Wisbech, Cambs.
A 400 SERIES tipping pressurized-tank vehicle, exhibited by this company, is one of a large order for APCM Ltd. and is shown on a Foden 24-ton g.v.w. chassis. It is capable of carrying 540 cu.ft. of cement and a payload of 15 tons. Equipment includes Edbro tipping gear and a Wellworthy blower.
Lightweight construction enables a payload of 21 tons to be carried on a 500 Series bulk transporter which is seen mounted on a Murfitt 32-ton g.v.w. three-axle semitrailer. Pneumatic discharge is provided by a turbo-conveyor and rotary feeder system. The turbo-conveyor system is driven by the exhaust gases of the power unit and delivers oil-free clean air.
A moving bulkhead 800 Series coal transporter has a capacity of 800 cu.ft. and is equipped with a pneumatic-discharge system incorporating a Godfrey L800 blower and Murfitt rotary feeder. Exhibited in the demonstration park, a second 400 Series tipping tank is mounted on a Murfitt semi-trailer chassis designed to operate at 38 tons gross.
