DYMAX BALLAST BLASTER - The Cost-Undercutter

(Off-Track Excavator Ballast Undercutter)

BALLAST BLASTER (Off-Track Undercutter) for hydraulic excavators

Ballast undercutting technology has been around for decades.  A more recent development has been off-track undercutting, with undercutter attachments mounted on hydraulic excavators.  These new tools are perfect for repairing small sections of track while keeping the lines open to train traffic, thus avoiding track downtime associated with on-track models.

Features and Benefits

DIRECT HYDRAULIC DRIVE

(no gear boxes)
Eliminates down time and keeps operators removing fouled  ballast more efficiently than ever before.  Production INCREASES, operating costs DECREASE
HIGH EFFICIENCY MOTOR More Torque at optimum chain speeds without the need for high-cost hydraulics to be added to the excavator!
“What does this mean and how does it benefit you”
You literally save thousands of dollars of machines setup and machine price by being able to use a smaller machine.

PATENT PENDING

Blaster Undercutter Bar
Does not require chain removal to replace wear parts.  Saves thousands of dollars compared to competition. Perform bar maintenance with little effort!
Heavy Duty Custom Hardened Sprockets Larger diameter provides longer life and better cleanout ratio
Superior Dymax Blaster Cutting Chain Reduces inventory and operating costs, cuts better!
