Welding machine K355AM

Suspension-type welder К355АМ of МСО-4501U1 type is designed for contact flash-butt welding by pulsating flashing of rails with cross-section ranging from 6400 to 10000 mm2 and for field flash trimming right after welding. The welder can be powered from AC mains, diesel-generator plant and motor-generator set.

The complete set of delivery includes

1. Welder
2. Control Cabinet
2.1. Power system
3. Pump station
4. Water cooling plant
5. Electric connectors
6. Hydraulic connectors
