Plasser American Corporation: Switch and Production Tamper - 09-16 DYNACAT

Plasser American Corporation


The Plasser 09-16 DYNACAT is a heavy-duty, high-speed, continuous-action switch and production track-tamping machine with an integral dynamic track stabilizer. All track-working units are mounted on a separate satellite frame attached to the mainframe. While the satellite indexes from tie to tie during actual work process (lifting, lining, cross-leveling and tamping), the machine's mainframe with stabilizer system moves smoothly and continuously at a speed determined by operators, the company says. Along with the advantage of having less vibration and stress transmitted to the main part of the machine, which reduces maintenance and down time, the machine's design and construction allow high production rates, the company says.
