NDG-1 portable rail tamper is a special small track maintenance machine for tamping ballast uinder sleepers. Because of its light weight, it can be on and off the track at the same time with the operator. Therefore, the interval between trains can be used for ballast tamping. It is suitable for the maintenance and tamping operation of main line ...
Ballast is packed around, above, and below the railway sleepers. It helps with drainage as well as holding back or keeping down weeds and vegetation. It also takes the compression load of the track, locomotives, and rolling stock. The ballast physically holds the track in place & prevents its movement.
Ballast is a description of the aggregate material under the rail. The track ballast forms the base of the track, which supports the load of the track and provides drainage. Rails are typically filled with 30-50mm aggregate. Hard and hard stone is necessary for the ballast of the rail. Withstands heavy wear in a rail environment.
