Your daily cleaning challenges in rail maintenance

If we are not mistaken in rail remanfacturing lines you face a predictable list of cleaning issues. None of them help you keep trains on schedule. 

Issues like: 

  • Heavy contamination build up that require additional wash cycles, cause rework, and delays.
  • Crusted dirt, grease, and brake dust that demand hours of manual work.
  • A mix of products to achieve a somewhat sufficient cleaning result
  • Short bath lifetime and multiple products mean frequent changes, extra handling and higher operating costs.

Low-temperature cleaning

We deliver a single, water-based cleaning solution designed for rail components.
A solution that removes grease, oils, brake dust and environmental dirt and does so at lower temperature.
You will comply with rising ESG expectations, and see more happy faces in the HQSE team.

What you can expect

  • Stable, repeatable cleaning results
  • Longer bath lifetime
  • Easy pre-cleaning
  • Fewer failed inspections
  • Safer and more comfortable work environment
  • Simplified chemical handling
  • Lower total cost of operation

It is a practical upgrade for remanfacturing lines that want consistency without the chemical circus.
