ABSTRACT:
The ballast regulator machine is provided with a ballast plow arrangement, a rotary transverse brush on the rearward end and a ballast transport device with two conveyor belts, the rearward end of the rearward conveyor belt being arranged in the region of the transverse brush and the forward end of the forward conveyor belt being arranged in front of the ballast plow arrangement. The transverse brush is surrounded by a ballast guide housing which is so arranged that the ballast thrown up by the transverse brush is directed into the rearward conveyor belt. The forward conveyor belt can pivot towards both sides about a vertical axis and is extendable towards the front by an adjustable conveyor belt section which in its operating position extends up to a ballast transport wagon arranged in front of the machine and which becomes inoperative in its rest position. In this way the excess ballast picked up by the transverse brush can be distributed either directly in the bed in front of the machine in order to fill in particularly large recesses, or may be loaded onto a transport wagon for reuse at a later date. Beneath the forward end of the front conveyor belt there may also be provided a ballast hopper for intermediate storage from which ballast may be distributed as required on the bed in front of the ballast plow arrangement.
