MEPL’s indigenous Rail Flash Butt Welding Plant developed for Indian Railways
Mechelonic Engineers have been working continuously with the Indian Railways to keep the country on the move. MEPL has the distinction of having developed indigenously for the first time, a Rail Flash Butt Welding Plant for the Indian Railways. The plant consists of Fully
Automatic Rail Flash Butt Welders with Auto Alignment and Auto Stripping, Weld Flash Strippers, Weld Data Recorders, Rail Straightening Presses with Laser Straightening measurement, Rail Grinding Machines and Rail Brushing Machines for North Eastern Railways for joining the rails and it has been established that Mechelonic Engineers’ Plant is the best among the plants available with the Indian Railways, giving the highest production, trouble-free service and minimum maintenance expenditure.
In recent years, MEPL has supplied another indigenously developed Rail Flash Butt Welding Machine with Rail Straightening Presses to South Central Railway, Moulali.
