Maintenance of rail in tracks and turnouts
The demand for reduced life cycle costs, increased availability and a growing environmental awareness mean that track maintenance is becoming increasingly important. A customized maintenance strategy is a requirement for ensuring the availability and reliability of railway tracks. Regular grinding of rail in tracks and turnouts is an integral part of a holistic maintenance strategy.
With its grinding technology for rail in tracks and turnouts, voestalpine Track Solutions Germany GmbH, a company of voestalpine Railway Systems, offers innovative maintenance that meets the requirements of infrastructure operators in terms of short down times, cost optimization and safety, as well as responsible environmental protection.
voestalpine Track Solutions Germany GmbH operates several RGH 20C on-track grinding machines. Thanks to the flexibility of these machines, they may be used for preventive and corrective maintenance as well as initial grinding on rail in turnouts, connecting tracks, level crossings and other limited areas.
La technique de mesure et de contrôle intégrée à la machine permet d'établir un protocole continu des travaux effectués sans activités de mesure manuelles sur la voie, ce qui garantit un standard de qualité et de sécurité maximal. L'objectif premier en matière de qualité est de n'enlever que la quantité de matériau nécessaire afin de garantir à nos clients une réserve d'usure maximale et donc une durée de vie maximale des rails. Une installation de nettoyage intégrée à la machine et homologuée pour les lignes à grande vitesse vient compléter le résultat de l'usinage.
Fields of application for mobile rail grinding
All European standard gauge lines as well as connecting and industrial railways:
Initial grinding
- Removal of the decarburized layer
- Creation of a homogeneous rail surface
Preventive & corrective maintenance
- RCF damage
- Corrugation
- Re-profiling
Customer benefits:
- Significant extension of rail service life in turnouts and tracks
- Maximum flexibility in the machining of:
- Tongue rails
- Frogs (as far as technically feasible)
- Level crossings
- Minimal residue from rail processing due to the integrated cleaning system
- High cost-effectiveness due to condition-based material removal (“as much as necessary, as little as possible”)
