Fasteners

Fasteners are link systems that hold the track to the sleepers. Different types of fasteners are used for different railway tracks. Patil Group entered into a strategic collaboration with Vossloh AG, Germany for developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling Fastening Systems suitable for different types of railway tracks

With Indian Railways deciding to upgrade railway infrastructure in line with requirements of global standards and safety of passengers, a change was required in the fastening systems for railway tracks. Patil Group along with its JV partner – Vossloh AG qualified to get their fasteners tested across the country.

Patil Vossloh Fasteners have been used in Delhi and Chennai Metro track projects. After successful installation of Vossloh 336 fastening for above metro track projects, the group is actively considering forth coming projects i.e. DMRC Phase III, project extension of Chennai, Mumbai and Cochin and Bangalore Metros.

Key advantages:
  • Cost effective as the majority of the components are manufactured locally
  • Full fledged technical team for support
  • Maintenance free, fit-and-forget system
  • Systems available to suit various tow loads up to 12 KN

Various Types Of Patil Vossloh Fastening Systems

SKL 14 for Normal Tracks
It is reliable, safe and maintenance free with long spring deflection, high tensioning force, high creep resistance and effective protection against tilting. Fully automatic track-laying is possible through pre-assembly of all components in the sleeper works.

System 300 for Ballastless Track
Slab tracks meet all the requirements for combined highspeed and heavy load traffic. The rail fastening System 300, which can be pre-assembled, is suitable for all methods of slab track installation.

System DB 336 for Ballastless Track
These are rail fastening systems for ballastless concrete and steel structure. They ensure an effective reduction in vibration emission by means of an elastically supported rail. This system is suitable for standard-gauge railways as well as for urban light railways and can be adapted to local conditions as a result of their high flexibility. It reduces transmission of vibration to the concrete and structure and therefore reduces noise to the foundation of adjacent buildings.

System W 14 HH for Heavy Haul
This fastening system on concrete sleepers for ballasted tracks is primarily used for heavy haul. It has rail tilting protection by a middle bend of the tension clamp and special design of the angled guide plate. It helps reduce maintenance costs due to permanent elastic tensioning of the rail with tension clamps.
