Features: The hybrid machine, Sustainability and environmental protection, Innovations by our partner firm Plasser American, Tamping machine 09-2X Dynamic
Plasser & Theurer introduces a milestone - the first high-capacity hybrid tamping machine in the world.
Sustainability and environmental protection have become a key topic in recent years.
However, rising fuel prices, low work shift returns and high staff costs is the reality contractors have to face.
We want to help our customers work cost-efficiently and flexibly despite these conditions.
Chesapeake, Virginia: here, in the main factory, our customers' machines are overhauled and upgraded to state of the art.
One of these innovations is the well-equipped assembly workshop. It is used to calibrate the machines' measuring systems precisely and comfortably.
First trial operations are possible on the test track located directly next to the workshop.
Aurizon's new 09-2X Dynamic.
It is the 75th Plasser & Theurer machine in operation on the lines of Queensland.
With the new machine design, the operator Aurizon pays tribute to the Aboriginal traditions of the region in which the machines will be deployed.

Features: Small work sites, APT 1500 RC Georgia, Unimat 09-475/4S N-Dynamic, Bogie production in our Linz factory
The ZRM 350 cleaning machine during a typical night-time operation in Switzerland. With or without track: the excavating chain always produces an exact formation.
The PA 1-20 ES single-sleeper laying system is particularly suited for new track laying on short sections of track.
Thanks to the electronic distance measurement, the machine places the sleepers on the formation fully automatically and exact to the millimetre, not only on straight sections of track but also radially in curves.
APT 1500 RC rail welding robot in Georgia, proves that we have met this challenge SUCCESSFULLY over and over again. 1,200 defective welded joints on a track section of 25 kilometres: the APT 1500 RC welding robot demonstrates its strengths on the main line of the Georgian Railway between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.
In the Unimat 09-475/4S N-Dynamic we combined a universal tamping machine and supply of new ballast for the first time – with resounding success. During turnout maintenance, no separate ballast is needed. As a result, it is no longer necessary to pre-deposit ballast during additional track possessions.
A new wheelset press used here in our Linz factory, or rather, where our bogies are produced, enables these important undercarriage components to be manufactured even more precisely.

The new positioning of the hopper and the bogies of the MFS 120 ensure an improved load distribution. This enables higher safe loads to be achieved.
The planned line speed of up to 300 km/h requires absolute accuracy of the track geometry. No problem for the Unimat 09-4x4/4S.
H0 makes the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg something special for all fans of model railways. Here too, there is no track without machines made by Plasser & Theurer!
This machine is setting new standards and is targeted to continue the successful SSP 110 series. The first USP 2005 SWS has been delivered to the German company Schweerbau. We were there during the test operation in Linz.
At travelling speeds of up to 160 km/h, the MTW 160 reaches the work site fast. A distance between bogie pivots of 17 metres as well as air sprung bogies, developed for considerably higher speeds, enable safe and comfortable travel.

The largest international trade fair for track technology took place from 28th to 30th May, showing the innovative force in modern track maintenance. Plasser & Theurer is presenting its products under the motto: "Quality cuts costs" and emphasising once again its importance for this extremely cost-efficient branch of industry.
Over 200 exhibitors from 21 countries, around 25,000 visitors from more than 80 countries: the iaf is THE meeting place for track specialists. The opening ceremony in the exhibition centre was attended by: managers of all leading firms, the heads of the Association of German Railway Engineers and of course high-level politicians.
New machine concepts and new technologies for ballast cleaning in turnouts offering a high savings potential.
The on-track version of our fully automatic flash-butt welding method has been
in successful operation for some time. Its welding quality is certified. Now this technology is available in lorry design as the APT 1500 RL. Many visitors have seen the perfection of the welds during the live welding demonstrations in the outdoor exhibition area.
The worldwide service network - new, optimised original spare parts – and further developments on our user-friendly machine control – are on show here. A special attraction was the world premiere of this new, mobile 09-3D tamping simulator. It provides the convincing advantages of modern simulation technology: optimum preparation for utilising the full capacity of the machines – without any risk of damage.
The enormous significance of the iaf lies not only in the technologies, machines and equipment on display. Also the transfer of knowledge about the latest findings from research and practical operation make an important contribution.
Plasser & Theurer is celebrating its 60th anniversary in Münster ! So it was only logical that Plasser & Theurer's Gala Evening was the best opportunity to commemorate the successful history of our company. The festive hall was full of people who have accompanied us throughout the past decades as customers, partners and members of staff who have helped to shape and enhance the company in all its facets.
Three exciting days at the 2013 iaf International Exhibition for Track Technology have passed. We would like to take the opportunity to ask Mr. Gerhard Polterauer, the executive director of Plasser & Theurer, to give us his impressions.

Last year the Austrian company Europten ordered a new mast setting unit, the MAGE 75. Its main functions are to set and remove the typical heavy concrete masts used on Austrian Federal Railways.
From steel sections to machine frames: for us every welding seam is the most important. Ultimately, the cost-efficiency and safety of the machines depends to a large extent on the quality of the welding seams. That is why we set high standards here.
In Japan the combination machines KVP and KSP have been performing track maintenance for many years. Usually these machines are operated behind a tamping machine and carry out ballast regulating.
On this new system for ballast bed cleaning the front section of the machine is responsible for cleaning the shoulders, with a separate double screening unit. The second section of the machine incorporates a high performance excavating chain and also two high capacity screening units.
Our partner firm, Plasser Española, recently opened its new business premises close to Madrid in Yuncler, near to Toledo. The factory was designed in terms of the highest energy efficiency: with geothermic energy production and optimised use of natural light.
