Description
Customisable
production solution for concrete
sleepers
This production line is designed to fit many needs
and requirements, from the reception of aggregates and cement, to
the stacking of sleepers before
dispatch.
Attentive to the constraints and requirements of its
customers, we made its systems customisable and evolutionary, from
standard equipment for processes with a low level of automated
handling equipment, to the highest level of
automation.
The company favours solutions combining ease of use,
security, and ergonomics to enable you to achieve the best possible
quality and profitable production. Ergonomic workstations are
user-optimised, which includes supportive equipment to facilitate
rebars handling.
High-capacity railway sleeper production
line
Many renowned concrete sleeper producers already
trust FIMEC Technologies, appreciating the high capacity,
flexibility and reliability of the line. Production rate is about
one mould every minute, which means two sleepers (up to **0kg each
when mono-block) every minute.
Concrete sleeper production process and
equipment
The process is generally undertaken in the following
steps:
Aggregate acceptance, storage and batching: truck
unloaders, storage towers, hoppers, conveyors and weighting
conveyor. Aggregate preparation before mixing with
cement
Cement storage and batching: vertical silos and
batching by weighing hopper
Mixing and concrete batching: loading of mixer by
skip or conveyor, planetary mixer, weighing loaders with fixed or
mobile hoppers; extraction by conveyor or
screw
Sleeper curing: metal structure, designed to cure
concrete naturally or using a heating system, transfer car with
built-in shuttle capable of handling up to eight moulds at one
time
Mould dehacking: system capable of depositing moulds
one at a time on a conveyor ready for subsequent
operations.
Stress relief line and heads: the conveyor and the
stress relief heads transfer stress to the
sleepers
De-moulder: the sleepers are separated from their
moulds
Sleeper fitting: the line enables operators to fit
accessories to the sleepers and to carry out quality
controls
Transfer to the stock: transfer car for completed,
stacked sleepers
