<strong>Rail</strong> <strong>Reconditioning</strong><br />
Technology<br />
Under normal use, rails typically<br />
only wear on one edge. Opposite<br />
the gauge corner sufficient material<br />
is preserved to turn the rail around<br />
and create a new gauge corner. The<br />
reconditioning process doubles the<br />
lifespan of the rail.<br />

Cost-Effectiveness<br />
<strong>Rail</strong> reconditioning is one of the<br />
most economical applications of<br />
material recycling. Re-use of rails<br />
allows cost savings of more than<br />
50 % compared to new rails.<br />
Reprofiling<br />
By means of state-of-the-art rail<br />
milling technology (milling and<br />
integrated grinding) a new individual<br />
profile is cut into the former nongauge-corner.<br />
Cross-sectional and<br />
longitudinal tolerances are superior<br />
to new rolled rails.<br />
Refurbishing<br />
<strong>Reconditioning</strong> is conducted according<br />
to Deutsche Bahn Standard DSB<br />
918 255-1. In a number of subsequent<br />
steps rails are straightened, checked<br />
for defects (with ultrasonic and Eddy<br />
Current testing), damaged sections<br />
removed and finally welded into rails<br />
of up to 180 m length.<br />
Application<br />
Reconditioned and reprofiled rails<br />
can be used in all track categories up<br />
to 200 km/h.<br />
