What if innovation does not mean disruption – but comprehensive support for established workflows? In our new expert video, Dr. Axel Hoeschen, President Business Field Rail Joining & Managing Director Elektro-Thermit, explains how the +S machine portfolio was developed to enhance Thermit® welding from the inside out, without the need to change established processes.
The +S battery-powered machine portfolio is built with one goal in mind: to make things better for the welding teams, not more complicated.
Developed from hands-on experience in rail welding and maintenance, the +S machines are designed to support workers in the field with what they really need, with a clear focus on usability, compatibility and ergonomics.
The result: emission-free machines that also reduce noise, vibrations and physical strain – while a shared battery system and modular spare parts enhance logistics and ensure flexibility.
In the video, Dr. Axel Hoeschen explains the development journey of +S and how it fits into the choreography of modern track work. Together with live footage from welding demonstrations at the iaf 2025 in Münster, the video shows how the +S portfolio performs on track.
