Aschaffenburg, Germany: high storage capacity for flexible operation

In April 2018, after ten months of construction, RAILONE opened a new concrete sleeper plant in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria. This additional German production site of RAILONE GmbH is an important addition to the existing plants and serves the German railway market with high-grade products of the usual RAILONE quality. The production process used is a carousel-driven late demoulding system with extensive automation technology. In addition to the B 70 sleeper, which is widely used in Germany, the new plant also produces numerous other types of main-track sleepers for urban transit and long-distance traffic in Germany and Europe.
