Ballast lock

Industrial steel construction
Efficient ballast locks for precise ballast metering and rail infrastructure.

Each material to be shredded has its own specific properties. Its properties, the desired discharge grain shape and final grain size, the expected throughput rate and the economic efficiency must be taken into account when selecting a suitable crusher. L+M AG was commissioned to manufacture a replacement ballast sluice, including material procurement and production, for a well-known customer in the building materials industry. Thanks to the robust design, it was possible to create a product with a long service life and low maintenance requirements.
