The Mechanized Weld Trimmer is used to trim the excess metal immediately after welding a joint. After pouring Thermit steel in the rail gap and upon its solidification, there is excess weld metal left over the rail head. This excess metal used to be chipped off manually with the use of a chisel and hammer, while it was red hot. To overcome the obvious danger of this manual process, we introduced the Mechanized Weld Trimmer powered by a motorized power pack.

After the welding is complete, the Weld Trimmer is placed over the rail head keeping the joint in between its shearing blades. The power pack operates with both blades moving inward thereby trimming the excess metal over the rail head while it is still hot. The blades move back outward after the trimming is complete.
