TRACK CONSTRUCTION & CLEANING OF THE TRACK AREA

AN MTS SUCTION EXCAVATOR MAKES RENOVATING TRACK BEDS MORE EFFICIENT

Track renovation and cleaning generally need to be carried out within a narrow time frame. Removing track ballast by hand is incredibly time-consuming, and the transport vehicle stationed nearby can cause further disruptions. A DINO suction excavator from MTS quickly sucks up the track ballast, stores it in its collecting container and transports it away directly, depending on vehicle permits.



An MTS suction excavator is the quick solution for track bed renovation

Its powerful air flow extracts the track ballast from even the tightest of spaces through the suction hose and into the integrated container. With a volume of up to 12 m3 depending on the model, this container offers ample capacity for direct transport, cleaning or disposal of the ballast.

The operator controls the suction excavator remotely from outside the danger zone. If necessary, only one additional member of staff is required directly at the track bed, ensuring maximum safety.

MTS suction excavators with two-way technology also offer an economical solution for track bed cleaning. Whether it’s discarded cups, cigarettes or milled particles after grinding work on the rail head, the DINO SPECIAL enables fast and efficient cleaning.

MTS suction excavators deliver all this and more in track construction:

• Removal of sleeper ballast to replace blunt ballast
• Removal of sleeper ballast for cleaning the ballast
• Suctioning of soil from the track bed
• Cleaning of debris from the track area
• Suctioning of milled particles after grinding work on the rail head
• And much more…

The excavators can also be used for many other applications, such as:

• Tree and root maintenance by replacing the soil without damaging the root system
• Cleaning of the tunnel floor
• Vacuuming basements after storms
• Exposing infrastructure pipes for gas, water, telephone, etc.
• Extraction of contaminated material
• Removal of demolition material
• Removal of sludge
• Extraction of residual material from fermentation tanks in biogas plants
