Railroad switch ballast tamper
- Product Description
The Railroad Switch Ballast Tamper is a specialized machine designed for efficient and precise tamping operations in railway turnouts (switches and crossings). Its compact design and powerful vibration system ensure that ballast under the sleepers is compacted evenly, providing stable track geometry and extending track life.
Key Features
1.Compact Design for Switch Zones
Specifically engineered for railway turnouts and crossings, the tamping unit features a narrow frame and flexible arm structure, allowing it to easily work between rails, frogs, and switch components where large tampers cannot reach.
2.Precision Control via Excavator Boom
The tamper is designed to be mounted on an excavator, using the boom to control lifting, rotation, and positioning. This enables accurate tamping around complex switch geometry with minimal manual effort.
3.Reinforced Tamping Picks
Each tamping pick is produced by hammer process, providing superior impact resistance and long service life even under continuous heavy-duty vibration.
4.Enhanced Track Stability
The machine used high torque motor ，ensures precise ballast compaction beneath sleepers, effectively restoring track geometry and improving long-term stability, especially in turnouts and junctions where dynamic loads are higher.
