The shearing process takes place after mould release. The battery-operated weld shearers are available in two versions:
The battery-operated shearing machine is fully autonomous, providing flexibility and freedom in the working environment.
The machine does not produce emissions, so can be used in tunnels and closed environments. The narrow design of the EMB1 makes it particularly suitable for this.
The shearing operation is extremely accurate, thanks to the adjustability of the blades and the guiding rollers.
The accuracy of adjustments means that 2mm of weld metal can be left above the running surface, so the quality of profile grinding is not impaired.
The shearer is quick and powerful, minimising the time spent grinding the rail and maximising uptime.
The machine is safe to use. It is lightweight and easy for two people to pick up and place on the rail. The upper positioning of the handles protects hands from the heat.
The shearing machines are powered by two batteries, using lithium HD technology. There is no carbon emission during operation. Battery autonomy allows for more than 12 shearing operations before the batteries need to be recharged.
The shearer is fitted with two hydraulic cylinders that are able to produce a force of 21 metric tons under a pressure of 250 bars.
Two hydraulically-operated blades on either side of the weld move and cut off the excess metal. Five types of blades are available, all adapted to different vignole rail profiles. Screws are used to adjust the blades’ height, lateral position and stroke
A retractable locking system, fixed under the rail head, prevents the shearing machine from rising up in use.
A manual lever controls a hydraulic distributor that allows the blades to move.
The shearing machine comes in one piece and is lightweight – around 60kg.
Designed specifically for finish grinding of field welds, the Profile Grinder grinds the top and sides of the rail to the original profile.
Designed to screw/unscrew all types of bolts and drill holes in wooden sleepers, this high-efficiency tool is powered by a specially designed engine that ensures accurate, quick, reliable operation.
The 1” wrench is safe and efficient to use, with an anti-vibration design and an optional handle to provide the optimum work position for the task at hand.
With four-axis precision and the ability to use both straight and cup stones, this tool ensures quality grinding in the field.
This range of lightweight, powerful hand grinders – available in clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation – offers the ideal solution for precise, controlled grinding on rail.
Pandrol’s Multi-Purpose Grinder (06950A) is a versatile tool that is suitable for a wide range of field weld grinding operations.
Performing checks and adjustments is an important part of the welding and maintenance process, particularly on the ends of rails.
Designed to operate with the included battery-operated non-impacting drill, the simple chuck attachment allows easy installation of the shear so it is quickly operational on the track.
Excess metal remaining above the rail head during welding was traditionally removed manually with a hammer and chisel. The Weld Shear Hand Pump automates this process and reduces the risk of damaging the rail.
The ergonomic machine is self-supported on the rail thanks to its six insulated rollers. Its flexible design allows the user to adjust the grinder in any direction with ease.
quipped with a fail-safe braking system and supplied with a detachable brake and push handle, the Rail Lorry has a stand-alone, load-bearing rolling platform for use on track
