Frequency control of tamping units
In addition to noise reduction, the frequency control enables fuel savings of up to 10 %. Moreover, it significantly reduces wear on the tamping units.

Overview
Precision
Combined levelling and alignment laser
During track tamping, the combined levelling and alignment laser guides the tamping machine according to the precision method. Using this method, the laser beam is displayed on the laser receiver camera (at the tamping machine) and analysed according to its position.
The combined levelling and alignment laser also allows producing a particularly accurate turnout geometry. In doing so, the ideal geometric position of the turnout (in the through rail) is recorded along the laser reference line.

Sustainable tamping quality
Our seventy years of experience in tamping technology goes into the sturdy mechanical design of our tamping units. Nowadays we combine this knowledge with the latest sensor and control technology. Using our time-tested principle of non-synchronous constant pressure tamping, we adapt compaction to the ballast stone structure, creating a sturdy sleeper bed.

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.
