Plasser American Corporation: Continuous Action Tamper 09-3X C-W DYNAMIC TAMPING EXPRESS

Plasser American Corporation


The Plasser 09-3X C-W DYNAMIC TAMPING EXPRESS is a heavy-duty, high-speed, combination Production Track Tamping and Dynamic Track Stabilization machine designed for concrete and wood track territory. While the satellite tamps and indexes three ties at once during actual work processes (lifting, lining, cross-leveling, and tamping), the machine's mainframe moves smoothly and continuously, the company says. It is also capable of tamping one tie at a time, making it more versatile for different track conditions. This allows for less vibration and stress transmitted to the main part of the machine, reducing maintenance and down time, the company says. The machine's high production capability is especially important for high density railways, where track availability is minimal.
