Model RMS-8 Rail GrinderRMS-08 Rail Grinder is a 96 stone (120 stone available) production rail grinder with dust collection. The consist is made up of nine (9) specialized railway cars to make up a completely self-contained grinding train. All grinding functions (including grinding pressures, motor horse power, and grinding angles) are controlled from inside the grind control car. Motors are individually controlled by hydraulics to provide the instantaneous response required for high speed grinding. An on-board computer allows monitoring, selection and maintaining up to 99 individual rail grinding patterns. The computer also accepts and stores up to 10 obstacles while working.

Switch and Crossing Rail Grinder-RGH20 Switch and Crossing Rail Grinder, C-model is the latest in the line of Harsco Track Technologies’ rail grinders designed to grind the top and sides of the running rails on both main line, crossings and switches. These grinders can reduce the cost and frequency of your track maintenance operations--by performing preventive grinding of new rails to clear defects such as millscale, long waves, and weld profiles; eliminating track vibrations by removing corrugations or other defects on the running surface; or removing fatigued metal and reprofiling the rail for proper wheel to rail contact. The C-model is modular and available in various combinations of eight and ten stones, including 8, 10, 16, 20, 24, 30 and 32 stone units. The machines are also available at any gauge between 1067mm (42 inch) and 1676mm (66 inch), as well as a variable gauge model. The C-model machines are self-contained units, which can be connected together to form a larger consist. In any configuration, the entire machine can be controlled by a single operator. The machines are available with two axles per car or with two bogies per car depending on individual customer needs for axle loads and curve negotiation.
