Replacing wear parts on conveying channels is a major cost factor in the life cycle of ballast bed cleaning machines. As life cycle partners, we are taking a closer look here and developing solutions that improve service life, operational safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Wear plate costs reduced by up to 40%

This development work has resulted in wear plates made from innovative new materials that ensure excellent service life while also costing up to 40% less. Their design is the product of our manufacturing expertise, as well as the experience collected from users around the world.

Using these original wear plates reduces the risks associated with alternative sources, such as unsuitable material hardness, dimensional tolerances, or insufficient wear reserves.

Wear plate sets at a fixed price

To make wear management easier as well, we offer all the necessary wear plates for the RM 80, RM 85, and RM 76 machine types in a complete set. This simplifies planning, spare-parts warehousing, and budgeting.

OEM refurbishment of excavating chains

Another option for reducing life cycle costs is to refurbish excavating chains in OEM quality. The actual stresses exerted on these chains vary greatly, depending on the track bed and working speed. In order to make maintenance as plannable and cost effective as possible, we focus here on achieving even wear, even under varying stresses.

This OEM service also involves the fitting of bushes in the connecting chain links and the armouring of the highly stressed areas of the plates. These two measures are proven to extend the service life and therefore reduce costs further.
