Cómo construir una central eléctrica que limpia 10.000 toneladas de nieve por hora
En el taller de montaje de Tiefenhäusern, no lejos de nuestra planta de St. Blasien (Alemania), nuestros especialistas trabajan con gran presión y precisión en dos sopladoras de nieve de alto rendimiento para la compañía ferroviaria estatal noruega Bane NOR. Cada una de estas máquinas pesa más de 80 toneladas y genera más de 2.000 caballos de potencia. Recientemente tuvimos el honor de dar la bienvenida al equipo noruego del proyecto y les acompañamos con nuestra cámara.

Beilhack Supplies Snow Blowers and Snow Ploughs for Croatian State Railway
With a rail network that is around 3000 km long, Croatia has a well-developed railway infrastructure which, among other places, also extends over the Dinaric Alps – one of the highest mountain ranges in Europe. To allow snow to be cleared from the rails more efficiently in the winter months, in 2016 the Croatian state railway operator HŽ PUTNIČKI PRIJEVOZ decided to add some powerful equipment to bolster its winter maintenance fleet. In collaboration with the Austrian track laying machine manufacturer Plasser & Theurer, Beilhack was commissioned to deliver two HB280 high-performance snow blowers, as well as two PB3 snow ploughs and BSP220 track clearing ploughs. In a short space of time, a team of engineers and fitters at Beilhack in St. Blasien managed to construct the attachments. They are each driven by an OBW100, a powerful track motor vehicle from Plasser & Theurer.

NEW SNOW BLOWER FROM SCHMIDT ENSURES CLEAR TRACKS ON THE MATTERHORN GOTTHARD RAILWAY The Matterhorn Gotthard Railway in Disentis in Switzerland was looking for a contemporary, powerful and above all safe snow-clearing vehicle to be deployed in tough winter conditions on the Oberalp Pass. After examining various options, a Bernina snow blower was acquired from the Rhaetian Railway at the end of 2014. However, this “old lady”, who was more than 50 years old, had to be thoroughly renovated and upgraded. This was a task for Schmidt’s railway experts at the St. Blasien site.
