TONEBLOWER FOR PNEUMATIC BALLAST INJECTION
The Stoneblower is a revolutionary machine developed specifically as an alternative
to traditional tamping methods for the restoration of track’s vertical and lateral alignment.
The machine utilizes a process which pneumatically injects ballast under the tie to achieve
track positioning to an accuracy of 1.0 mm. The result is a smooth track surface which is
immediately available for unrestricted line speeds. The Stoneblower is the culmination of
many years of research and development by Harsco Track Technologies in cooperation
with Railtrack and British Rail Research. The machine has undergone extensive testing to
meet demanding requirements and has demonstrated the ability to significantly extend the
time required between track maintenance cycles.
