The Material Clash
Railway sleepers are made of tough, abrasive concrete embedded with high-tensile steel rebars. Concrete requires a hard abrasive (like Silicon Carbide), while steel requires a tough abrasive (like Aluminum Oxide).
The Apidor 710mm Solution
As the only manufacturer of rail sleeper cutting wheels in India, Apidor developed a proprietary blend of abrasives and a highly specialized bond. These massive 710mm wheels are reinforced with four layers of high-tensile fiberglass to withstand the brutal transition between concrete and steel without shattering.
Automation Integration
These wheels are designed to run on automated sleeper cutting machines at 80 m/s, ensuring precise cuts necessary for modern track recycling and maintenance operations.
