ABSTRACT:
An equipment for cleaning automatically railway tracks, including a box (4) guided and carried by rails, designed for installation under a railway vehicle and which can be lifted by means of jacks (6, 6'). The box includes two shaped brushes (13, 13') driven in rotation, placed one in front of the other in the direction of the axis of the rail. A brush (14) arranged between each rail and the axis of the track makes it possible to project debris in the direction of the shaped brushes (13, 13'). The shaped brushes (13, 13') rotate in opposite directions with respect to each other and drive the debris into the upper part of the box to be subsequently sucked into a suction conduit (10). Receiving drawers (16, 16') make it possible to recover debris which are too heavy to be sucked away.
