Abstract

The method cleans the ballast between permanent way railway lines involves a scoop (3.5) which scoops up the loose ballast temporarily, while the underlying ground is cleaned by at least one cleaning unit. The loose ballast is then returned to the permanent way. Before cleaning, the underlying ground is roughened. The returned loose ballast is returned in separate flow streams through the cleaning unit.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Bankettreinigung und einen Bankettreiniger zur Durchführung des Verfahrens gemäss den Patentansprüchen 1 und 4.The present invention relates to a method for cleaning banquets and a banquet cleaner to carry out the method according to claims 1 and 4.

Die Gleise von Eisenbahnen werden auf ihrer ganzen Länge durch Gehwege gesäumt, welche typischerweise aus gewalztem Bergschotter bestehen. Diese ermöglichen ein gefahrloses und sicheres Begehen der Gleisanlagen für Unterhalts-, Wartungs- und Erneuerungsarbeiten. Diese Wege sind daherfür einen störungslosen Ablauf des Bahnbetriebs von zentraler Bedeutung. In der Regel sind diese Pfade aber von starkem Pflanzenwuchs betroffen und müssen aus diesem Grund regelmässig gewartet werden, um ein gänzliches Zuwachsen zu vermeiden. Bis anhin wurden die etlichen tausend Kilometer des Streckennetzes der Bahnen mit Chemikalien (Herbiziden) vom Pflanzenwuchs befreit.The railroad tracks are lined along their entire length by sidewalks, which typically consist of rolled mountain gravel. These enable a safe and safe access to the track systems for maintenance, maintenance and renewal work. This Paths are therefore of central importance for the smooth running of rail operations. In as a rule, however, these paths are affected by vigorous plant growth and must be removed from it Maintain regular maintenance to avoid overgrowth. Until then the several thousand kilometers of the rail network with chemicals (herbicides) freed from plant growth.

Diese Methode weist verschiedene Nachteile auf. Einerseits stellt sie eine Belastung des Sickerwassers und somit der Umwelt dar, auch wenn heute vielfach anstelle von Boden- schonendere Blattherbizide verwendet werden. Anderseits muss das Besprühen der Pflanzen tagsüber, während der aktiven Phase der Pflanzen, direkt auf die Blätter erfolgen. Dies bedeutet, dass diese Methode mit verschiedenen Gefahren verbunden ist. Neben dem Umgang mit den giftigen Chemikalien, muss ausserdem dem fahrplanmässigen Zugsbetrieb ausgewichen werden. Verschiedene Unfälle mussten in der Vergangenheit verzeichnet werden. Belastend wirken die hohen Kosten pro Streckenmeter, welche durch den zusätzlich erforderlichen Abtrag des toten Pflanzengutes durch einen Bagger entstehen, die Behinderung des Zugsverkehrs und die Resistenz gewisser Pflanzen wie Schachtelhalm u.a. gegen die verwendeten Herbizide. Das Vermeiden von Pflanzenwuchs im Schotter der Bahntrasse, welcher unmittelbar an die Gehwege angrenzt, stellt einen zusätzlichen Aufwand dar. Die Herbizide verlieren in dieser Zone an Wirksamkeit und die abgestorbenen Pflanzen wirken als Dünger für neue.This method has several disadvantages. On the one hand, it places a load on the leachate and thus the environment, even if today in many cases instead of using less soil Leaf herbicides can be used. On the other hand, spraying the plants during the day, during the active phase of the plants, be done directly on the leaves. This means that this method is associated with various dangers. In addition to dealing with the toxic chemicals, must also avoid the scheduled train operation become. Various accidents have had to be recorded in the past. incriminating affect the high cost per meter, which is due to the additional removal required of dead plant material caused by an excavator, obstructing train traffic and the resistance of certain plants such as horsetail etc. against the herbicides used. The Avoiding plant growth in the gravel of the railway line, which is directly connected to the Adjacent walkways is an additional expense. The herbicides lose in this zone in effectiveness and the dead plants act as fertilizer for new ones.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Nachteile der bekannten Systeme zu vermeiden, indem eine effiziente, umweltfreundliche, kostengünstige und tageszeitunabhängig einsetzbare Gehwegreinigung realisiert wird.The object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the known systems, by using an efficient, environmentally friendly, inexpensive and independent of the time of day Sidewalk cleaning is realized.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den Patentansprüchen definierte Erfindung gelöst.This object is achieved by the invention defined in the patent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht auf einer Lösung, welche den Pflanzenbewuchs auf mechanischem Weg abträgt und anschliessend entfernt. Die Erfindungsidee sieht insbesondere vor, dass der Pflanzenbewuchs im Schotterbereich bearbeitet wird, indem der Schotter, ähnlich der Reinigung unter einem Teppich, zeitweise angehoben wird um ein Entfernen der sich darin festgesetzten Pflanzen zu ermöglichen. Nach dem Reinigen befindet sich der Schotter wieder in aufgeräumter Ordnung in seinem ursprünglichen Bereich. Der Ersatz der Herbizide durch ein mechanisches Verfahren bringt ausserdem den Vorteil, dass die Reinigung tageszeitunabhängig, insbesondere auch nachts, wenn kein fahrplanmässiger Zugsbetrieb herrscht, erfolgen kann. Dadurch können Störungen des Bahnbetriebs vermieden werden. Mechanisches Bearbeiten hat im Vergleich zu chemischen Methoden zur Folge, dass die Pflanzen sofort abgetrennt oder entwurzelt werden. Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass dabei das abgetragene Pflanzenmaterial aus dem Gleisbereich entfernt wird, um zu verhindern, dass die abgestorbenen Pflanzen als Dünger für weitere Generationen wirken. Ausserdem ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung die Wartungsgeschwindigkeit nachhaltig zu erhöhen. Bei chemischen Verfahren unterliegen die dem Auftragen von Herbiziden nachgeschalteten Arbeitsschritte einer Verzögerung, da die Chemikalien nicht ein unmittelbares Absterben der Pflanzen zur Folge haben. Bei der Erfindung nach Patentanspruch 1 werden aber die Pflanzen in einem Arbeitsschritt abgetrennt/entwurzelt und aus dem Gleisbereich entfernt. Dadurch entfällt ein nochmaliges Nachbearbeiten. Diese Aspekte sind besonders wichtig, da eine massgebliche Steigerung der Wirtschaftlichkeit erreicht werden kann. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist der weitgehende Verzicht auf Chemikalien, so dass die bis anhin massive Belastung der Umwelt vermieden wird. Der erfindungsgemässe Reinigungskopf bildet eine im Vergleich zu anderen Gleisbearbeitungsmaschinen leichtgewichtige, abgeschlossene mechanische Einheit, welche an den genormten Anschluss des Arbeitsarmes eines gleisgängigen Traktors oder eines ähnlichen Gefährtes angekoppelt werden kann. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die Anforderungen an das Basisfahrzeug weit geringer und damit auch kostengünstiger sind als bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verfahren.The invention is based on a solution which mechanically replaces the vegetation removes and then removed. The idea of the invention provides in particular that the Plant growth in the gravel area is processed by the ballast, similar to cleaning under a carpet, is temporarily raised to remove the ones that are stuck in it To enable plants. After cleaning, the ballast is cleared up again Order in its original area. The replacement of herbicides with a mechanical one The method also has the advantage that cleaning is independent of the time of day, in particular even at night when there is no scheduled train operation. This allows Disruptions to rail operations can be avoided. Mechanical machining has compared to chemical methods mean that the plants are immediately separated or uprooted. The invention provides that the removed plant material from the track area is removed to prevent the dead plants from being used as fertilizer for further Generations work. In addition, it is an object of the invention to maintain the speed of maintenance increase sustainably. Chemical processes are subject to the application of herbicides Downstream operations delay because the chemicals are not an immediate one Cause the plants to die. In the invention according to claim 1 but the plants are separated / uprooted in one step and out of the track area away. This eliminates the need for reworking. These aspects are special important because a significant increase in profitability can be achieved. Of Of particular importance is the extensive absence of chemicals, so that so far massive pollution of the environment is avoided. The cleaning head according to the invention forms one, compared to other track processing machines, is lightweight, closed mechanical unit, which is connected to the standardized connection of the working arm of a track Tractor or a similar vehicle can be coupled. This ensures that the requirements for the base vehicle are far lower and therefore also cheaper are than in the methods known from the prior art.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht somit, neben der mengenmässigen Reduktion der verwendeten Chemikalien, ein nachhaltiges, effizientes und um Faktoren günstigeres Bearbeiten von Gehwegen mit gleichzeitigem Entfernen der Pflanzenreste aus dem Gleisbereich und Reinigen der Schotterkante des Gleisbettes. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der nachfolgenden Figuren näher erläutert.The invention thus enables, in addition to the quantitative reduction of the used Chemicals, a sustainable, efficient and by factors cheaper processing of sidewalks with simultaneous removal of the plant residues from the track area and cleaning of the Ballast edge of the track bed. An embodiment of the invention is based on the following Figures explained in more detail.

Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Bankettreinigungskopfes 1. Der Pfeil F zeigt die Fahrtrichtung. Die hier nicht näher dargestellte Trasse befindet sich in Fahrtrichtung gesehen linker Hand (fortan trasseseitig genannt) und die ebenfalls nicht näher dargestellte Böschungsseite in Fahrtrichtung gesehen rechter Hand (fortan böschungsseitig genannt). Zu sehen sind ein Gehäuse, bestehend aus einem quaderförmigen Unterbau 2.1, einem pyramidenstumpfförmigen Mittelteil 2.2 und einem kastenförmigen Oberteil 2.3.Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a banquet cleaning head 1. The arrow F shows the Direction of travel. The route not shown here is seen in the direction of travel left hand (henceforth called the route side) and the slope side, also not shown in detail Right hand seen in the direction of travel (henceforth called the embankment side). You can see a housing consisting of a cuboid substructure 2.1, a truncated pyramid Middle part 2.2 and a box-shaped upper part 2.3.

Der Unterbau 2.1 ist an seiner in Fahrtrichtung vorderen Kante offen. Im Bereich dieser Öffnung befinden sich mehrere drehbar gelagerte Führungsrollen 4, welche den Bankettreiniger in einem Abstand zum Untergrund halten. Vor den trasseseitig gelegenen Führungsrollen 4.3 erstreckt sich ein schildartiges Leitelement 3.1 in einem spitzen Winkel schräg nach vorne. Dieser Schild wirkt pflugähnlich dem Beiseiteschieben der Schottersteine in Richtung der Trasse, so dass verhindert wird, dass diese ins Innere des Bankettreinigers gelangen.The substructure 2.1 is open at its front edge in the direction of travel. In the area of this opening there are several rotatably mounted guide rollers 4, which the banquet cleaner in one Keep a distance from the surface. Extends in front of the guide rollers 4.3 on the route a shield-like guide element 3.1 at an acute angle obliquely to the front. That shield acts like a plow by pushing the gravel stones aside in the direction of the route, so that it is prevented that they get inside the banquet cleaner.

Der Oberbau 2.3 ist auf den Mittelbau 2.2 aufgesetzt und umrandet dessen Oberseite kastenförmig. Auf der in Fahrtrichtung nachlaufenden Seite des Oberbaus 2.3 ist ein Hydraulikmotor 6 angebracht, welcher dem Antrieb des Bankettreinigers 1 dient. Dieser Hydraulikmotor 6 wird über Hydraulikschläuche 7.1 und 7.2 mit Öl versorgt. Dieses Öl stammt aus dem Hydrauliksystem des Schienenfahrzeuges (nicht näher dargestellt), an welchem der Bankettreiniger 1 über den Flansch 8 befestigt ist. Der Flansch 8 befindet sich an der in Bewegungsrichtung vorlaufenden Seite des Oberbaus 2.3.The superstructure 2.3 is placed on the middle structure 2.2 and borders the top of it in a box shape. On the side of the superstructure 2.3 trailing in the direction of travel is a hydraulic motor 6 attached, which serves to drive the banquet cleaner 1. This hydraulic motor 6 will supplied with oil via hydraulic hoses 7.1 and 7.2. This oil comes from the hydraulic system of the rail vehicle (not shown), on which the banquet cleaner 1 over the Flange 8 is attached. The flange 8 is located on the leading in the direction of movement Side of the superstructure 2.3.

Anstelle eines Hydraulikmotors könnte selbverständlich eine andere, entsprechende Antriebsquelle eingesetzt werden. Der Hydraulikmotor 6 wirkt auf eine Riemenscheibe 9.1, welche ihrerseits über einen Keilriemen 9.3 auf eine weitere Riemenscheibe 9.2 wirkt. Die Riemenscheiben 9.1 und 9.2 bilden in Kombination mit dem Keilriemen 9.3 ein Getriebe 9, welches den Bankettreiniger in Kombination mit dem Hydraulikmotor 6 antreiben. Das Getriebe 9 befindet sich im wesentlichen im Innern des Oberbaus 2.3.Instead of a hydraulic motor, of course, another, corresponding drive source could be used be used. The hydraulic motor 6 acts on a pulley 9.1, which in turn acts on a further pulley 9.2 via a V-belt 9.3. The pulleys 9.1 and 9.2 form in combination with the V-belt 9.3 a gear 9, which the Drive the banquet cleaner in combination with the hydraulic motor 6. The gear 9 is located essentially inside the superstructure 2.3.

Gewisse trasseseitige Bereiche des Gehäuses 2, im speziellen die vordere, trasseseitige Seitenwand 3.2 des Unterbaus 2.1, das Leitelement 3.1, die hintere trasseseitige Seitenwand 3.3 des Unterbaus 2.1 sowie die trasseseitigen Seiten 3.4 und 3.5 des Mittelbaus 2.2 (vgl. Figur 4) sind als Gleitbereiche für den Trasseschotter ausgebildet. Sie dienen dem gezielten temporären Aufschöpfen des Schotters. Der erfindungsgemässe Effekt führt dazu, dass der Schotter mittels der Aufschöpfmittel, die hier durch die trasseseitigen Seitenwände gebildet werden, zeitweilig angehoben wird, so dass der sich darunter befindliche Untergrund bearbeitet werden kann.Certain areas of the housing 2 on the route side, in particular the front side wall on the route side 3.2 of the substructure 2.1, the guide element 3.1, the rear side wall 3.3 of the route Substructure 2.1 as well as the route-side pages 3.4 and 3.5 of the middle section 2.2 (see FIG. 4) are as Sliding areas designed for the track ballast. They serve the targeted temporary scooping of the gravel. The effect according to the invention means that the ballast by means of Tempting means, which are formed here by the side walls on the route, temporarily is raised so that the underlying surface can be worked on.

An der böschungsseitigen Seitenwand des Unterbaus 2.1 erstreckt sich entlang der unteren Gehäusekante 5 ein Absatz. Dieser Absatz bildet zwischen dem nicht näher dargestellten Untergrund und der Gehäusekante 5 einen Spalt, durch welchen das abgetragene Pflanzengut aus dem Innern des Reinigers abgegeben wird.On the side wall of the substructure 2.1 on the slope side extends along the lower one Housing edge 5 a paragraph. This paragraph forms between the not shown Underground and the housing edge 5 a gap through which the removed plant material is released from inside the cleaner.

Figur 2 zeigt den Bankettreiniger 1, mit dem entlang der Schnittlinie AA (vgl. Fig. 1) aufgeschnittenen Gehäuse 2. Im Innern ist die Reinigungseinheit 20 dargestellt, welche hier mit rotierenden Bürstenköpfen, die hier an einer Scheibe oder einer entsprechenden Montagevorrichtung befestigt sind, ausgebildet ist. Je nach Beschaffenheit des Untergrundes kann die Reinigungseinheit 20 auch mit anderen Reinigungsköpfen bestückt werden. Vorgesehen sind beispielsweise Metallzähne welche den Untergrund stärker Aufrauhen oder Abtragen. Die Reinigungseinheit 20 ist an einer in der Lagereinheit 22 drehbar gelagerten Welle 21 befestigt. Die Welle 21 mündet an ihrem oberen Ende in die Riemenscheibe 9.2, welche die Welle 21 und somit die Reinigungseinheit 20 antreibt. Die Reinigungseinheit dreht sich von oben gesehen im Uhrzeigersinn. Figure 2 shows the banquet cleaner 1, with the cut along the section line AA (see FIG. 1) Housing 2. Inside the cleaning unit 20 is shown, which here with rotating brush heads, which here on a disc or a corresponding mounting device are attached, is formed. Depending on the nature of the surface, the Cleaning unit 20 can also be equipped with other cleaning heads. Are provided For example, metal teeth that roughen or remove the surface more. The Cleaning unit 20 is attached to a shaft 21 rotatably mounted in the bearing unit 22. The shaft 21 opens at its upper end into the pulley 9.2, which the shaft 21 and thus drives the cleaning unit 20. The cleaning unit rotates when viewed from above Clockwise.

Anstelle einer einzelnen Reinigungseinheit 20 könnten auch mehrere Reinigungseinheiten vorgesehen werden (nicht näher dargestellt), welche den Untergrund an gewissen problematischen Stellen, insbesondere im trasseseitigen Schotterbereich stärker bearbeiten.Instead of a single cleaning unit 20, several cleaning units could also be used are provided (not shown in detail), which the subsurface on certain problematic Work more on areas, especially in the area of the ballast on the line.

Die sich vor der Reinigungseinheit 20 befindlichen Rollen 4 können durch Rollen oder Stützelemente ergänzt oder durch diese ersetzt werden. Diese Rollen oder Stützelemente können sich hinter oder seitlich der Reinigungseinheit 20 befinden. Es ist vorgesehen, dass diese Rollen ein hohes Gewicht aufweisen oder vibrierend ausgebildet werden, um ein gezieltes Verdichten des Untergrundes zu erreichen. Die in Fahrtrichtung vorlaufenden Rollen können auch eine Zahnung aufweisen und aktiv angetrieben sein, um den Untergrund gezielt aufzurauhen, bevor die Reinigungseinheit 20 zum Einsatz kommt.The rollers 4 located in front of the cleaning unit 20 can be by rollers or support elements be supplemented or replaced by these. These roles or support elements can be are located behind or to the side of the cleaning unit 20. It is envisaged that these roles have high weight or are designed to vibrate in order to compact the Reach underground. The rollers leading in the direction of travel can also have teeth have and be actively driven to roughen the surface in a targeted manner before the Cleaning unit 20 is used.

Figur 3 zeigt den Bankettreiniger 1 in einer Seitenansicht. Das böschungsseitige Gehäuseteil des Gehäuses 2 ist auch hier weggeschnitten. Zu erkennen ist die erfindungsgemässe Neigung der Reinigungseinheit 20 um einen Winkel Φ gegenüber der Vertikalen. Dies kann natürlich auch dadurch herbeigeführt werden, dass der gesamte Reinigungskopf geneigt wird. Durch diese Neigung wird erreicht, dass das abgetragene Gut nach aussen, aus dem Innern des Bankettreinigers 1 geschleudert wird. Deutlich zu erkennen ist der Niveauunterschied T, welcher die Wirktiefe der Reinigungseinheit 20 gegenüber dem zu bearbeitenden Untergrund (nicht näher dargestellt) bestimmt. Der Niveauunterschied T ist im wesentlichen durch den vertikalen Abstand der Reinigungseinheit 20 gegenüber den Distanzrollen 4 bestimmt. Der Niveauunterschied T kann den Anforderungen angepasst werden.Figure 3 shows the banquet cleaner 1 in a side view. The slope side of the housing part of the Housing 2 is also cut away here. The inclination of the invention can be seen Cleaning unit 20 at an angle Φ with respect to the vertical. Of course, this can also can be brought about by tilting the entire cleaning head. Through this Inclination is achieved so that the removed goods to the outside, from the inside of the banquet cleaner 1 is thrown. The level difference T, which the Effective depth of the cleaning unit 20 compared to the surface to be processed (not closer shown) determined. The level difference T is essentially due to the vertical The distance between the cleaning unit 20 and the spacer rollers 4 is determined. The level difference T can be customized.

Figur 4 zeigt den Bankettreiniger in einer Ansicht von schräg unten. Zu erkennen sind hier das Leitelement 3.1 und die Seitenwände 3.2 bis 3.5 des Gehäuses 2. Diese Elemente sind von wesentlicher Bedeutung für die Schotterführung. Die Funktionsweise kann anhand des folgenden gedanklichen Modells veranschaulicht werden. Ein Teppich, welcher hier dem Schotter der Trasse entspricht, ist entlang seiner Kante durch Pflanzen durchwachsen. Der Bankettreiniger 1 wird nun so entlang dieser Kante geführt, dass gewisse Wände 3.2 bis 3.5 seines trasseseitigen Gehäuses unter diese Teppichkante (Schotterkante) tauchen bzw. diese vorübergehend verlagern. Die Seiten 3.2 bis 3.5 sind so ausgebildet, dass sie die Teppichka nte (Schotterkante) gezielt auf die Oberseite des Bankettreinigers führen (Aufschöpfen) und somit den Untergrund temporär und wellenähnlich freilegen. Die im Bereich der Schotterkante gewachsenen Pflanzen können somit entfernt und abgetragen werden. Nach der Bearbeitung des Untergrundes wird der angehobene Schotter wieder an seinem ursprünglichen Platz abgelegt. Der Bankettreiniger erfüllt damit, neben der Bearbeitung des Untergrundes am Trasserand, auch die Aufgabe der Trimmung der Schotterkante, indem er deplazierte Schottersteine wieder ins Schotterbett integriert. Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei, dass alle Arbeitsgänge in einem Arbeitsschritt durchgeführt werden können.Figure 4 shows the banquet cleaner in an oblique view from below. You can see that here Guide element 3.1 and the side walls 3.2 to 3.5 of the housing 2. These elements are essential Significance for the ballast guidance. The operation can be seen from the following conceptual model are illustrated. A carpet that here is the gravel of the The route corresponds to the fact that it is interspersed with plants along its edge. The banquet cleaner 1 is now guided along this edge so that certain walls 3.2 to 3.5 of its route side Immerse the housing under this carpet edge (gravel edge) or move it temporarily. Pages 3.2 to 3.5 are designed to target the carpet edge (gravel edge) Lead to the top of the banquet cleaner (scoop) and thus temporarily the surface and expose them like waves. The plants grown in the area of the gravel edge can thus be removed and removed. After processing the surface the raised ballast is put back in its original place. The banquet cleaner thus fulfills, in addition to the processing of the subsurface at the edge of the train, the task of Trim the ballast edge by putting misplaced ballast stones back into the ballast bed integrated. It is particularly advantageous that all work steps in one work step can be carried out.

Es ist möglich, das erfindungsgemässe Aufschöpfen des Schotters durch eine besondere Ausgestaltung der Seitenwände 3 zu beeinflussen. Dazu können die Seitenwände 3 seitlich hervorstehende Teile aufweisen oder eine konkave und/oder konvexe Formgebung besitzen. It is possible to scoop up the ballast according to the invention by a special one To influence the design of the side walls 3. For this purpose, the side walls 3 laterally have protruding parts or have a concave and / or convex shape.

Figur 5 zeigt einen Grundriss einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform, bei welcher zwei Reinigungseinheiten 20 eingesetzt werden. Zu sehen sind der Unterbau 2.1 und zwei Reinigungseinheiten 20.1 und 20.2, welche gegenüber der Längsachse des Reinigungskopfs versetzt angeordnet sind und hier einen gegenläufigen Rotationssinn aufweisen. Diese beiden Reinigungseinheiten 20.1 und 20.2 sind von unterschiedlicher Dimension und können auch in der Beschaffenheit verschieden sein. Durch die versetzte Anordnung wird erreicht, dass der Materialstrom gebündelt und auf einer definierten Bahn abgeleitet wird. Das Bündeln des Materialstroms kann zusätzlich durch Leitbleche im Innern des Bankettreinigers zusätzlich unterstützt werden. Dabei kann auch eine Kombination mit einer Wegführeinrichtung, z.B. einem Förderband (nicht näher dargestellt), vorgesehen werden, welche den gebündelten Materialstrom am gewünschten Ort ablegt. Der Abtrag kann so z.B. auf einem mitgeführten Anhänger deponiert oder entlang der Bahnlinien im Bereich der Böschung gezielt abgelagert werden. So wird vermieden, dass sich im Laufe der Zeit ein zu grosser Humuswall entlang der Bahnlinie bildet.Figure 5 shows a floor plan of another preferred embodiment, in which two Cleaning units 20 are used. You can see the substructure 2.1 and two cleaning units 20.1 and 20.2, which is offset from the longitudinal axis of the cleaning head are arranged and have an opposite sense of rotation. These two cleaning units 20.1 and 20.2 are of different dimensions and can also in the Condition be different. The staggered arrangement ensures that the material flow bundled and derived on a defined path. Bundling the material flow can also be supported by baffles inside the banquet cleaner become. A combination with a removal device, e.g. a conveyor belt (not shown in detail), which provide the bundled material flow on stores the desired location. The removal can e.g. deposited on a trailer carried or deposited specifically along the railway lines in the area of the embankment. So will avoided that a too large humus wall forms along the railway line over time.

In besonderen Situationen kann auch eine Kombination eines mechanischen Bankettreinigers mit einem chemischen Verfahren eingesetzt werden. Dabei können chemische Verfahren alternativ mit einem Bankettreiniger eingesetzt werden, indem sich diese beiden Verfahren optimal ergänzen. Das chemische Verfahren führt dabei zum Absterben des Pflanzenwuchses. Der nachträgliche, zeitlich versetzte Einsatz eines Bankettreinigers führt zum Entfernen der gegen chemische Verfahren resistenten Pflanzen, der nachgewachsenen Pflanzen und der durch das chemische Verfahren abgetöteten Pflanzen. Auch hier ermöglicht das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren eine Reduktion der Umweltbelastung.In special situations, a combination of a mechanical banquet cleaner can also be used can be used with a chemical process. Chemical processes can be used Alternatively, use a banquet cleaner by using these two procedures complement optimally. The chemical process leads to the death of plant growth. The subsequent, staggered use of a banquet cleaner leads to the removal of the plants that are resistant to chemical processes, the plants that have grown back and the the chemical process of killing plants. This also enables the invention Process a reduction in environmental pollution.
