Jeroen Smoes, Head of Machinery at Strukton International, has been working with System7’s technology for years. The positive long-term experience with the fully hydraulic tamping unit has convinced Strukton to share their assessment in a statement:

We have been using the System7 fully hydraulic tamping unit on our Unimat since 2016, and the results speak for themselves. Over 1.6 million tamping cycles without any signi๏ฌcant wear – clear proof of the reliability and durability of the fully hydraulic tamping units from System7.
By continuously measuring the quality of the ballast and precisely monitoring the tamping process, such as the parameter of optimized tamping time, known as System7 Automatic Tamping, we can ensure that optimized compaction of the ballast is guaranteed. At the same time, we have significantly reduced dust, noise and vibration emissions, which improves both the working environment and efficiency. Respirable dust emissions have been reduced by up to 52%. Noise emissions have been reduced by up to 7 dB, and vibrations – measured in the machine – have also decreased by up to 7.5 dBA.
We are proud of this collaboration, the high quality and long service life without major overhauls, that System7’s fully hydraulic tamping unit provides us with.
