Vignole Rail Welding

The Pandrol Hybrid Weld Shear offers a fast, safe, and portable solution for removing excess weld metal. Its lightweight frame and self-locking system ensure consistent results and secure handling in the field.

The PLA Evo is the latest optimised welding process, designed to be easy to use, improve performance and be fully compatible with the Pandrol aluminothermic welding product range.

The HFP 36V is a battery-powered and fully automated preheater designed for easier and more reliable operation. Its ignition, timing, and stop functions require no manual interference or flame adjustment, making it a highly efficient tool.

i+seal moulds are Pandrol’s newest aluminothermic welding innovation that streamlines the welding process.

HWR is suitable for repairing railhead defects between 25mm and 90mm wide and 25mm deep (depending on the rail profile), it can be used on both the parent rail and on electric flash butt welds, which often suffer from squats. It is also suitable for transversal defects, shelling and corner gauge. The aluminothermic weld process is carried out using specially designed moulds.

Pandrol provide world-leading aluminothermic welding solutions for customers worldwide.

The process involves casting molten steel (produced through the reaction of iron oxide and aluminium) at a temperature exceeding 3,500 ˚F (1,950 °C) into refractory moulds designed to the rail specification.

Pandrol collaborate with port, dockland, and warehouse operators globally in designing and delivering crane rail welding solutions for infrastructure dedicated to handling goods.

Pandrol Connect consists of three modules: a mobile version for welders to record on-site data and for welding controllers to review data, an online monitoring app to review weld information from the office, and an online administration tool to apply settings to local standards.
