There are a great many instances where it is very difficult to remove ballast or other types of material from the track area, for example near station platforms, level crossings, tunnels, bridge approaches, switches, etc. But the VM 170 JUMBO is also ideally suited for a range of other applications as the wide variety of the tasks show that have been successfully tackled using the machines from this series.

Various types of material such as ballast, sand, soil and weeds are removed efficiently and cost-efficiently from the track area using the VM 170 JUMBO vacuum scraper-excavator und even in places where it is otherwise only possible to use manual methods. The machine is also suitable for producing drainage ditches and for selected excavation of ditches for foundations, masts, cables, etc.

Extended suction range of 7.5 metres

Thanks to the extension of the suction range compared to earlier machines, it is possible to pick up material across the adjacent track. The machine can be fitted optionally with an additional removable funnel attachment which allows surface cleaning of the track without picking up ballast. With a width of 2.750 mm the funnel attachment is guided on the rails, the suction nozzle is connected via a quick-release fastening.

• Rotating scraper and suction nozzle to pick up material
• Nozzle movement controlled by hydraulic manipulator
• Very good noise dampening of the work units
• Material separator to separate material and air
• Filter chamber to absorb fine particles
• A slewing conveyor belt to take away the excavated material, for example, to material conveyor and hopper units or to the side of the track
• Removal of ballast or other material from the track area without dismantling the track
• Even heavily polluted and encrusted sections can easily be treated
• Removal of various types of material such as ballast, sand, clay, soil, weeds, etc.
• Even wet material can be picked up easily
• Short set-up times
