Hydraulic Double-Head Railway Ballast Tamper

This product creatively converts the hydraulic energy of an excavator into high-frequency impact energy, directly acting on the interior of the track bed. Its core value lies in:Key Functions: The product utilizes the excavator's hydraulic lines to provide power, using an impact device similar to a hydraulic breaker (also known as a hydraulic cannon) to vibrate, compress, and compact the ballast beneath the sleepers.

Suitable for: Designed specifically for the widely used 6-9 ton mini excavators, it possesses some of the core functions of large professional tamping machines, making it suitable for operation in space-constrained railway areas such as stations, turnouts, and tunnel entrances.

Operating Mode: Its working principle is consistent with that of large tamping machines, which use high-frequency vibrating picks to insert into and compact the ballast, achieving the same ultimate goal, but with more flexible tool design and power connection.

Three core functions to solve railway maintenance problems

Application Areas

Improving Track Quality: Compacting the ballast bed: Compacting loose ballast through impact provides uniform and stable support for sleepers. Eliminating track defects such as "empty slabs," enhancing track stability, and ensuring the smooth and safe operation of trains.

Restoring Elasticity: Ensuring the ballast bed has good buffering and drainage performance. Slowing down track geometry changes, extending track maintenance cycles, and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Enhancing Operational Flexibility: Filling Gaps: Enabling ordinary excavators to perform tamping operations in narrow areas (such as switch areas and station yards) inaccessible to large machinery. Overcoming the application limitations of traditional large tamping machines in specific scenarios, achieving full maintenance coverage.

Multi-purpose Machine: Quick attachment switching allows excavators to flexibly switch between various processes such as ballast cleaning, replacement, and tamping. Greatly improving equipment utilization and the mobility of construction teams.

Optimizing Construction Efficiency: Precise Localized Operations: For sections with localized subsidence, frost heave, or other defects, rapid and precise repair-style tamping can be performed without major repairs. This allows for targeted installation wherever needed, minimizing disruption to normal traffic and resulting in more precise and efficient construction.

It also reduces reliance on manual labor: the traditionally manual tamping operations are replaced with mechanized processes. This reduces worker fatigue, improves working conditions, and saves on labor costs to some extent.

Specifications

Customization for Global Railway Standards

Track gauges vary worldwide: Russia uses 1520mm, Indonesia 1067mm, Thailand 1000mm, and many Western nations use 1435mm. The good news? We customize the Tiannuo Ballast Tamper’s track gauge to match your local railway specs—no need to compromise on fit or performance.

Need a full solution? We offer two options:

If you already have an excavator: Purchase our tamper structural components, and we’ll provide video guidance for installation.

If you need a complete setup: Buy a compatible excavator from China, and we’ll modify/upgrade it at our factory to integrate the ballast tamper.
