RM-80 crushed stone cleaning machine

The RM-80 machine is a crushed stone cleaning track complex. It is designed primarily for cleaning ballast. It is used to carry out medium repairs of the railway and reduce the period between repairs. This crushed stone cleaning track complex also performs operations for major repairs of the track bed. The main task of the RM-80 is to restore the elasticity of the crushed stone ballast layer and its useful qualities. An example of such quality is the drainage properties of the ballast layer. The RM-80 crushed stone cleaning complex significantly improves the bearing capacity of the railway bed. In addition, the RM-80 machine is capable of feeding new crushed stone to those areas of the ballast prism where it is most needed.
