Recycling, formation rehabilitation and ballast cleaning

RPM-RS-900

RPM-RS-900

The recycling, formation rehabilitation and cleaning machine was designed for formation rehabilitation and for processing the ballast of tracks. For the first time ever, formation rehabilitation, ballast cleaning and ballast recycling are compactly realised by a single machine complex. All operations are rail-bound, without blocking the adjacent track.

Recycling work
  • Excavation, recycling and transport of old ballast
  • Laying of recycled and cleaned ballast
  • Removal of soil and transport of excavated soil on MFS wagons or optionally on wagons to the side of the working track
  • Ballast residues are transported away on MFS wagons or optionally on wagons or trucks next to the working track
  • Two free-swinging vibrating screens with double pre-separation (scalping)
  • Metered feed, flexible laying height and width, uniform compaction of FPL material, parallel laying of geosynthetics
  • Metered feed, laying and uniform compaction and stabilisation of new ballast
Ballast cleaning work
  • Excavating the ballast
  • Two free-swinging vibrating screens with double pre-separation (scalping)
  • Flexible ballasting using a swivelling conveyor belt with level control
  • The ballast formation can be compacted by means of compactors
  • New ballast can be laid in parallel using trailing MFS units
  • Integrated, continuously-working tamping machine with satellite control, 16 tampers and front compaction
  • Trailing, integrated sweeping shaft
  • Cleaning performance up to 900 m³/h
  • Complete ballast renewal (complete ballast replacement) in a single operation (full excavation)
  • Ballast recycling and placement of recycled ballast
FPL recycling work
  • Simultaneous excavation of the ballast and soil
  • Excavated soil is transported away on MFS wagons or optionally on wagons or trucks next to the working track
  • Crushing and recycling of the ballast material
  • Controlled mixing of the recycling material with the new added FPL material
  • Controlled placement and compaction of the material as a formation protection layer
