With the Unimat Express series, you have all the equipment on board for the perfect tamping result.
Its focus is on turnout maintenance. However, the continuous-action tamping technology is also a benefit for maintaining connecting tracks and producing ramps before and after turnouts.
Fit for the future with ETCS
The Unimat 09/4S series serves as the basis for continuing development of the Plasser UnimatExpress machine series. It was specifically designed for the strict normative requirements of the European market. Equipped with the European ETCS train protection system, the machines fulfil the specifications of the TSI. Thanks to the new P-IC machine control system, they also meet the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act and offer heightened protection against cyberattacks.
Your benefit
- Full turnout control: individually tilting roller lifting discs mounted on the longitudinally shiftable lifting and lining unit, lifting hooks, and additional lifting unit for the diverging rail
- Optimal positioning: as the tamping unit segments are independent of one another, the Unimat offers a high degree of flexibility. Already during the first tamping cycle, it secures the turnout’s outermost positions to immediately fix the lateral position.
- Pre-measuring with maximum machine speed: inertial measurement unit (IMU), connected directly to the SmartALC
- Quality at a glance: high transparency thanks to detailed logging with the Plasser TampingReport
- Dynamic track stabilization: more resilient track position thanks to controlled settlement and increased resistance to track buckling
Examples of the product
Technology that continues to set standards to this day
Continuous working action achieves spectacular increases in output. As successors to the globally proven 09/4S machines, those in the UnimatExpress series offer increased output while producing excellent quality. The machine makes it possible to optimize track possessions and achieve your return on investment quickly.
Your benefit:
The technology used on Plasser & Theurer’s all-rounder allows optimal tamping results throughout entire turnouts, common crossings, and even hollow sleepers.
Its eco-friendly drive systems expand the machine’s field of application and reduce operating costs significantly. Benefit from increases in machine availability and utilization, including maximum speeds of up to 100 km/h when self-propelled.
The fine art of turnout tamping
Turnout maintenance is a complex process. Turnouts differ greatly in design, which is why tamping machines need a great degree of variability to optimally adjust to the conditions at hand. This is why Plasser & Theurer offers various types of tamping units: they are all versatile in application. Their special design has been optimized for specific application scenarios. This allows you to react precisely to the requirements of your market.
