Emission-free rail milling technology
Rail fatigue and wear are common problems faced by heavy haul, commuter, and transit railroads. Loram’s newest solution to this issue is rail milling, which is a heavy correction tool that can restore the lateral and longitudinal profile of the rail while removing all surface defects. Loram’s milling machine is capable of removing up to 1 mm in a single working pass. This helps extend the surface life of the rail, significantly reducing costs and carbon footprint and improving safety on railways. Because milling is a rotary cutting process, only milling chips are produced and very few sparks and dust are generated by the polishing process which makes this the best option for areas that are highly sensitive to dust and fire.
Rail milling benefits and features
For spot treatment during tight working windows, Loram’s rail milling solution is a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to extend the life of rail, crossings, and switches.
