•Screening Car – removes fines from shoulder ballast; size and shape of screens can be varied to suit conditions. •Ballast return - % return can vary depending on size of existing shoulder, age of ballast and screen size; generally 80 - 90% ballast return is achievable. Recovery of excess ballast will reduce top -up ballast required.
