railroad ballast tamper

The rail tamping machine is a core equipment used for railway track maintenance. Its main function is to enhance the stability of the track by tamping the ballast under the sleepers, eliminate potential safety hazards such as subsidence and deviation, and ensure the safe operation of trains.

AGICO Rail, as a professional manufacturer of rail maintenance equipment, has been deeply engaged in the track equipment industry for many years and has always been committed to developing high-performance rail tamping equipment, rail cutting machines, rail grinding machines, rail tensor machines, rail drilling machines , rail lifting equipment, rail bending machine, and other railway maintenance equipment suitable for various track environments.

YD-22 Hydraulic rail tamping machine (diesel engine)

YD-22 hydraulic compactor is an updated product developed using new materials and technologies. Its basic structure and principle still retain the advantages of the old-fashioned tamping machine, namely the double guide column frame and single cylinder lifting method. At the same time, by increasing the insertion degree of the pickaxe handle and adopting methods such as increasing the limit device of the guide column stroke, it can be used for tamping operations on domestic and III type concrete sleeper lines, as well as various concrete sleeper and steel sleeper lines abroad.

YD-221I Hydraulic rail tamping machine (petrol engine)

The YD-22 Ⅱ hydraulic rail tamping machine is manufactured with a standard track gauge of 1435mm and a single-sided track rack. The main technical performance of this machine is higher than that of old-fashioned tamping machines, and it is suitable for tamping operations after large and medium maintenance and screening of different types of steel rails and concrete sleeper lines; It is also suitable for compacting the ballast of newly built track beds. The machine has superior performance, reasonable structure, and high operational efficiency, meeting the needs of railway ballast compaction operations.

YD-221Ⅲ Smart rail tamping machine unit

On the basis of the performance of YD-22 hydraulic compactor, new features have been added:

The tamping machine is equipped with a running device and an electronic control device (electric starting engine and remote control of various functions of the tamping machine), which realizes the characteristics of automatic running and remote control, improves work efficiency, and reduces labor intensity.
The tamping machine retains the original manual directional valve, ensuring the stability of the operation. It also has front, rear, left, and right lighting functions, which can provide better illumination during night work.

ND-4.2X4 Flexible shaft rail tamping machine

ND-4.2 × 4 type internal combustion soft shaft compactor is suitable for various rail and track type railway line maintenance ballast compaction operations. Its characteristics are light weight and easy operation of the whole machine. Good compaction quality, low failure rate, easy maintenance, fast down track speed, strong applicability. It can not only compact railway lines, but also compact turnouts, with high cost-effectiveness and suitable for the needs of railway ballast compaction operations.

YCD-32 Hydraulic rail switch tamping machine

YCD-32 Hydraulic switch tamping machine is suitable for tamping works in the most complicated and difficult switch section. It can be used in the section of switches, turnout connection, frog and guard rail. The characteristic of the machine is that it can move left and right flexibly by hydraulic motor, which can save labor and fully meet the needs of switch tamping operation.

DG-550x4 Electric rail tamper unit

The DG-550 × 4 electric rail tamping machine for power generation consists of one generator and four electric tamping picks, with one machine serving multiple purposes. The DG-550 electric tamping pick is suitable for tamping ballast in railway maintenance operations. This machine has high excitation force, high operating efficiency, convenient operation, compact structure, and easy maintenance.

Advantages of rail tamping machine

Our rail tamping machine not only continuously optimize technology and improve performance, but also focus on user experience and long-term economic benefits. The following are the six core advantages of our rail tamping equipment that are widely recognized in the market:

The tamping efficiency can reach 280-600 pillows per hour, greatly exceeding the speed of traditional manual operations; The device is easy to operate and can be operated by one to two people, significantly reducing the need for manual configuration; Quickly complete construction, shorten line blockade time, and improve line availability.

High frequency vibration system combined with strong compression device to ensure sufficient compaction of ballast; The tamping depth can be adjusted to ensure even force distribution on both sides and the bottom of the rail sleeper; Maintain track geometry dimensions for a long time to reduce the probability of frequent maintenance.

Adapt to various rail types (such as 43kg, 50kg, 60kg rails) without the need for complex adjustments; Whether it's tunnels, bridges, mountains, or urban light rail, they can all operate safely and efficiently; Provide various power configurations such as gasoline, electric, hydraulic, etc. to meet different on-site conditions.

Anti seismic handle design, effectively relieving fatigue from long-term operation; Simple operation, non professional workers can quickly get started with it; Modular design of the structure, easy replacement of key components, and convenient on-site maintenance.

Both electric and new internal combustion engine equipment have passed environmental testing, with low noise and low emissions; Suitable for operations in environmentally sensitive areas such as urban rail transit; The whole machine adopts energy-saving vibration module, which extends the service life of the equipment and reduces fuel consumption.

The core components are selected from imported brands (such as Honda engines, SKF bearings, etc.), with reliable quality; The overall design life of the machine is ≥ 5 years, and the maintenance cycle of key components is long; Our company promises to supply original factory parts year-round, with maintenance costs lower than the industry average.

Applications of rail tamping machine
