„An Allrounder on the net“. That’s how the new rail and trackbed cleaning vehicle of the tram company CVAG Chemnitz in Germany is called. The vehicle is a multipurpose cleaning vehicle which can be used for groove cleaning as well as for ballast/trackbed cleaning. Large dirt parts are absorbed through the 4 suction hoods while the ballast itself remains on the trackbed. Air pressure nozzles which are integrated in the suction shoes stir up the dust from the ballast thus performing a certain depth cleaning action.
The vehicle is equipped as follows:
- Chassis Scania P320 4x2
- Hydrostatic driven rail system (lorry), 1435mm gauge
- Dirt container 6,5m³ and 2.000l water tank
- 2 side brushes in front of the vehicle (hydraulic driven)
- Trackbed cleaning unit
- Hydraulic driven ventilator with 24.000m³
- Hydraulic driven broom roller brush in front of the suction shoes
- Suctions shoes on both sides with integrated high pressure groove cleaning nozzle
- Steel scrapers mounted on the suction shoes on both sides
- 1000 bar pump for contactless high pressure groove cleaning
- Manual rear suction jib, 4m long with Ø200mm
- Spray gun hose (20m) with automatic winding
- Isolated ventilator and foldable side doors (super silent kit)
