摘要

Continuous ballast-tamping machine which comprises a machine structure (13) able to run with a straight, uniform motion along a railway line (11), to which structure (13) is connected a tamping structure (14) able to move lengthwise along the machine structure (13) with a straight, alternating movement owing to the action of an actuation means (15), the tamping structure (14) having the task of carrying out consolidation of the ballast in correspondence with sleepers (12) that bear the railway line (11), the tamping structure (14) comprising tamping heads (16) with a plurality of tine-holders (18), each single tine-holder (18) being positionable vertically and lengthwise in an independent manner in relation to the railway line, independent means (25-125) to provide vibratory motion being included for each pair of tamping heads (16).
