Further Development of Mechanised Ballast Cleaning the chain guides directly to the screening unit. This process already achieves a certain degree of separation of the spoil from the ballast (Figure 4). The chain is guided underneath the track in a cutter bar. This enables an exact and straight cut over the entire excavating width.

The central features are powerful scraper chains that excavate the fouled ballast and at the same time prepare the foundation for the new ballast. The ballast is cleaned in large oscillating screens with several screening levels which ensures optimum quality. The clean ballast is returned to the track directly behind the excavating chain.
