In addition to noise reduction, the rotation speed modulation enables fuel savings of up to 10 %. Moreover, it significantly reduces wear on the tamping units.
Thanks to a brand new measuring and analysis method, it is now possible for the first time to observe the movement behaviour of ballast throughout the entire tamping process. In addition, the method provides an unprecedented level of detailed insight into the ballast condition.
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.
High-performance, green lubricants are key to reducing our carbon footprint. Plasser & Theurer paved the way for this approach 22 years ago using organic lubricants manufactured by PANOLIN.
When the tamping units, which have electrically powered vibration shafts, are raised in idle mode, the noise is reduced by more than 20 dBA. The noise created in idle mode is 62 dBA, which is equal to the noise level of a normal conversation in the office.
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.
