BCM-1400 High-Output Ballast Cleaning Machine

The BCM-1400 High-Output Ballast Cleaning Machine is designed to remove worn ballast, screen and replace the "dirty" ballast with the fresh one. The machine gives top quality results in the toughest operating conditions and allows waste material to be discharged to either side of the track or into open top gondola cars.

BCM-1400 consists of two sections: excavating-profiling and cleaning. The machine is supplied with a TES-1400 diesel powered vehicle.
