Product Description

A tie plate is also called a baseplate or sole plate. Ruika specializes in producing rail fastening and tie plate is one of our main products. Rail tie plate is used in rail construction to support the rails. We can offer rail tie plate made using either casting iron or casting steel for customers to choose from, depending on the load and the type of rails. Boltable as well as rail clips can be applied. For the discontinuous type of support, we supply various ribbed tie plate which are also produced in casting iron or casting steel.

Tie plates are generally used to take the load of rail and distribute the load to the sleepers offering proven economies. We manufacture all types of base plates suitable for various rail sections, for use on wooden, steel or concrete sleepers and ballast-less tracks used with elastic fastenings on wooden sleepers and 'K' type fastening system.

Tie plate or sole plates are needed in rail installation, as they not only support the rails, but also enable the entire fastening system to be fixed on. Rail tie plates are the uppermost component of a crane rail or track support system. The primary function of a tie plate or sole plate is to provide the rail with a flat, smooth resting surface while allowing for vertical alignment of the rail system. Tie plates are secured by Anchor Bolts, also known as Holding Down Bolts. Soleplates are typically installed with a layer of grout cast beneath, which fills the void between the soleplate and the concrete foundation.

The holes for bolting the anchor and leveling bolts, and holes for bolt through clips if present, are precisely drilled into the sole plates. For weldable clips and base clips, the bottom of the clip is welded onto the sole plates before galvanizing.

Cast iron can be the welded or fabricated type, depending upon the customers requirements. Our rail tie plate can be made to suit various rail section, i.e. UIC 60, UIC 54, RN 45, 90 A, etc.

At our production base for the tie plates, various types are available following standards of AREMA, UIC, BS and others, with either single shoulder plates or double shoulder plates according to customers' requirements.

For the processing way, casting used to be most popular for both China and abroad. However, in recent years, rolling technology is rising up to produce tie plates in China, due to increasing such orders from international clients, especially America and Canada. Our company is the first company in China to try rolling processing onto baseplate production, based on our available rolling steel expertise, used for rail joint bar and gauge blocks. Up to now, we have successfully made out dies for rail tie plates for 11inches, 14inches and 14-3/4inch for both 5-1/2 and 6inch rail bases. Some more varieties are under negotiation with the clients as well. Based on this, we received 3 orders for rolling tie plates with total weight over 3,000tons.


Production Processs
The production process of rail tie plate is generally divided into three categories: forging, rolling and casting.

Casting is the most commonly used production process. Kirail's casting technology is mature, good quality, and low unit price is the choice of most customers.

Casting is mainly used for rail tie plates in the United States, Canada and other European and American countries. Since casting requires higher craftsmanship, most railway fastener manufacturers in China cannot do it. However, Kirail's casting technology capabilities are very strong. We have a stable supplier of casting raw materials. There are more than 10 engineers and technicians who can accurately design the casting rail tie plate mold, and improve the processing size of the casting rail tie plate through hot pre-coating or machining.

Types of railway tie plates we produce vary from 2holes, 4holes, 5holes, 6holes, and 8holes.
