Ballast profilers perform their work before or after tamping the track. The machines distribute the ballast evenly and restore the ballast bed profile, which gives the ballast bed the required lateral resistance.
The USP 2010 SWS 2K ballast profiler is Strukton Railinfra Materieel's heaviest class of ballast plough. The USP 2010 SWS 2K type ballast profilers have a 10 m³ silo. This type of ballast profiler is also suitable for points.
