Overview

High capacity

4-rail tamping

This mode uses four tamping unit segments. The outer segments can be slewed out far enough that the long bearers of the diverging rail in the turnout can also be tamped. This is an ideal supplement to automated synchronous 3-rail lifting. Positioned on transverse guide columns, the inner tamping units can be displaced laterally. This enables them to be operated in the area inside and outside the respective rails. All four tamping units can be turned and thus adapted to the slanting position of the sleepers.

Precision

The key to fault correction

The standard equipment for all of our tamping machines comprises measuring systems for correcting track geometry faults in longitudinal level, crosslevel, and longitudinal alignment: the proportional parallel levelling system and the single-chord lining measuring system.

Reliability

In 110 countries

You can choose from a complete range of tamping units for all track and turnout maintenance applications, classified according to output and performance requirements. They are available in various designs and sizes: the perfect fit for all our tamping machines.

Sustainability

Tamping track with irregular sleeper spacing

Plasser & Theurer’s proven tamping technology can be used under almost all operating conditions. Sometimes there are sections of track with irregular, heterogeneous sleeper positioning. That is why Plasser & Theurer offers customised tamping units for different types of superstructure. Thanks to these special models with additional adjustment mechanisms, there is nothing you can’t handle.

Ergonomics

Noise protection and sound-insulating features

In the area of the work units, tamping machines can be equipped with lateral noise protection panels. This is important for the operation in densely built-up areas, for instance in Japan. 
To counteract possible generation of dust during the tamping process and to provide the operator with good visibility, particularly when using noise protection panels, a water spray system can be installed at the tamping units. It is activated when the tamping units are lowered and switched off when they are lifted.

Digitisation

Plasser Datamatic – MachineConditionObserver
Controlling operation and servicing digitally

Fleet and maintenance managers can access information on the condition of their machines at any time, allowing for condition-based maintenance and enabling them to plan required measures ahead of time. 
The exact machine position can be accessed at any time, facilitating operations planning and refuelling. The management receives informative reports, providing the basis for strategic decisions.
