POLAND: Plasser & Theurer has supplied infrastructure manager PKP PLK with two USP 2010 SWS-U universal ballast distribution and profiling machines.
The P-IC 2.0 Plasser Intelligent Control system offers a clear touch-screen menu with access to all machine functions from one place. The machines have a centre plough, shoulder ploughs and one large hydrostatically-powered sweeper unit, for use on plain line and turnouts.
MFS material conveyor and hopper wagons enable the storage capacity to be increased from 7 m³ to 70 m³, with surplus ballast picked-up from the track and for reuse where needed.
