new BS-1200 Shoulder Ballast Cleaning railway locomotive

CRRC Taiyuan developed and manufactured BS-1200 (SBC - HP3) Shoulder Ballast Cleaning locomotive —heavy-duty railway maintenance equipment with high efficient through technology import from Loram Maintennace of Way,Inc.in the United States. This machine is used for ballast cleaning operation on shoulders of the track. The total length is 45 meters, and the maximum productivity is 1200 m³/h. It can complete automatically the whole process of ballast excavating, ballast conveying, screening, distributing and regulating. Through reducing the ballast contamination rate of ballast of the track shoulder, it can enhance drainage capacity of the ballast bed and decrease the problems, such as ballast bed hardening, mud-pumping and so on, and prolong the overhaul period of the railway. This machine,which has high work efficiency, multiple function, a high degree of integration, reasonable structure, as well as reliable performance, represents the highest level of the similar products in the world.
