Clearing ballast from the track

This consists in removing part of or all the ballast for its purification and reuse or for its removal or substitution, whatever the case, the splice bars' settling bed must be destroyed to reach a certain depth below it. This can be carried out manually or by using ballast tamping machines, loading the extracted product onto a train with hoppers and conveyor belts situated behind the hoppers. The section rebate of the platform can also be made using the tamping machine.
