Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0663472A1] A conveyor device (13) throws back the cleaned ballast onto the track (3). A suction tube (18) which is adjustable heightwise and laterally by a drive (36) has a suction opening (17) for picking up the ballast. A vacuum plant (13) is connected to the suction opening via the suction tube. The suction tube with its suction opening is arranged between the clearance chain (7) and a distanced work cabin (16) in the machine longitudinal direction. The suction tube above the suction opening is connected with a support frame which is laterally displaceable on a guide vertical to the machine longitudinal direction and running horizontally.
