“Prestressed steel rods in railway sleepers”
The Ralc Italia line for prestressed steel bar processing represents one of the most widely adopted solutions worldwide among steel mills and bar manufacturers.
It is used for threading prestressed steel bars, particularly for the construction of high-speed railway infrastructure, where high standards of precision and reliability are required.
Ralc Italia machines for steel bar processing are recognized on the market for their reliability and high performance in terms of production volumes and precision.
Over the years, some of the world’s leading steel mills have selected these solutions, often repeatedly, due to the performance, operational continuity, and machining quality they ensure.
Continuous technological development and ongoing design improvements have made the bar processing line a true highly specialized industrial system, designed to meet the most advanced requirements of the industry.
Bar processing lines are designed for machining straight and bent bars.
Ralc Italia can provide ad hoc solutions for the manipulation, the welding and the sheet processing.
The Mannaino (“Guillotine”) automated loader is a widely tested solution, ideal for lines with a high production of products such as bars. It guarantees continuity and reliability.
Thanks to the separator cylinders dividing the different work sections, it is able to manage three bundles of bars at the same time, with one being processed and the other two in standby, thus eliminating line stops for loading.
The loader progressively separates the bar from the rest of the bundle, making vertical movements.
The loader is fitted with all safety and emergency devices required by law.
System designed for collecting and bundling processed bars, ready for the strapping process.
A practical cradle system collects the bars. When the number of bars set on the panel is reached, the cradles advance by one step. This allows easy strapping and unloading.
A robotic system supplied by Ralc Italia, allowing the easy palletization also of bent bars, positioning them in a dedicated collector.
