I found a simple looking covered hopper unloading facility while looking around in Florida with Bing.

I could collect some more information about such facilities with some help in the trains.com forum. The most simple facility attracted my attention http://reliancemixers.com/images/Railcar...Header.jpg
That space saving installation brings covered hoppers onto my layout without any extra space requirements. It is installed between two tracks and mimics a pallet unloading facility for the generic plant (shoe box building) producing some kind of plastics.
