Monobloc Electrical Weld Shear EME1/EME2

Give your shearing operations an efficiency and quality boost with the Pandrol Monobloc Electrical Weld Shear, available in EME1 and EME2 models. This electrical rail shearing machine is designed to shear off the red-hot metal remaining around the rail head after aluminothermic welding of Vignole rails for the perfect finish.

Pandrol’s Monobloc Electrical Weld Shear Explained

During aluminothermic welding, a deadhead of excess metal remains above the rail head. This was traditionally removed manually with a hammer and chisel. The Monobloc Electrical Weld Shear automates this process and removes the risk of damaging the rail while ensuring smooth results. Two hydraulically operated blades on either side of the rail move and cut off the excess metal. The shear is powered by an embedded electrical hydraulic pump to carry out shearing jobs fast and precisely.

  • Powerful hydraulic operation
  • Safe and ergonomic design
  • A choice of model sizes to suit your rail environment

Product Information Sheet

Advantages of the Pandrol Monobloc Weld Shear

01

Enhanced safety

Boost on-site safety with the Monobloc Electrical Weld Shear, a much lower-risk method of shearing than the traditional hammer and chisel. The upper positioning of the handles on the shearing machine ensures the operator remains at a safe distance from the hot area.

02

Precision results

Deliver precise shearing thanks to the Monobloc Electrical Weld Shear’s adjustable blades and guiding rollers, which result in much more accurate results than removing the deadhead manually.

03

Decreased downtime

Rely on the efficiency of the Pandrol Monobloc Electrical Weld Shear to significantly reduce grinding time, saving your project money and decreasing rail downtime thanks to its powerful hydraulic unit.

04

Adjustability

Adjust the Monoblic Weld Shear’s two hydraulically-operated blades to the right height, lateral position and stroke for the job, ensuring excess metal is removed accurately and precisely with every use.

Technical Capabilities of the Monobloc Electric Weld Shear

01

Compact design

Unlock improved user flexibility thanks to the Monobloc design of this innovative weld shearing solution. The shear comes as an integral unit with an embedded electrical hydraulic pump, removing the need for assembly.

02

Choice of sizes

Choose from the Monobloc Electrical Weld Shear EME 1 and EME2 models – one a narrow unit, capable of operation in turnouts due to its compact size, and the other a wider unit, providing the user more comfort when shearing through the mould.

03

Hydraulic jacks

Speed up your shearing operations with the Monobloc Weld Shear’s two hydraulic jacks, which are capable of producing a force of 21.5 tons and a pressure of 250 bars for fast and powerful shearing.

04

Retractable locking systems

Prevent the shearing machine from rising up thanks to its helpful locking systems. These are fixed under the rail head for security and adjust the cutting operation to the thickness of the metal deadhead.
