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
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
Quality of tamping tines
Our high-quality tamping tines allow higher kilometre outputs and have to be replaced less often. In both cases, our original tamping tines have set the standard. Their design is crucial: they are produced as monobloc components forged in one piece and coated with a tungsten-carbide armour for all surfaces that come into contact with the ballast.
Sustainability
Synchronous 3-rail lifting unit for turnouts
For turnout tamping in the area of the long bearers, we offer an automatic, synchronous 3-rail lifting unit for the diverging rail. Using the lifting and lining unit, the track is raised synchronously. The length of the telescopic arm adapts automatically to the course of the rails as the machine moves forward. Particularly on heavy superstructures, the stresses on rail fastenings, rails, and sleepers are within the permissible range at all times. Equipping the work unit with a slewing limitation prevents infringement of the adjacent track clearance gauge during work.

Noise measurement
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.

Digitisation
PlasserSmartTamping – The Assistant
The digital future of turnout tamping has begun. “PlasserSmartTamping - The Assistant” is a turnout tamping assistance system that has revolutionised automation in tamping machines. It simplifies tamping in turnouts and crossings, with no extra measuring run needed. Particularly in times where there is a dearth of experienced staff, the system gives infrastructure operators security.
70 years of experience in tamping technology feed into the digital tamping assistant.
