Applications of Teknox Metal Cleaning Systems in the Railway Sector

In the railway sector, regular maintenance of mechanical and structural components of trains is essential to ensure safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. Teknox metal cleaning machines provide an advanced and versatile solution, ideal for meeting cleaning needs in this context. Thanks to their ability to handle large components and effectively remove tough contaminants, Teknox solutions are designed to enhance railway maintenance processes.

Cleaning Challenges in the Railway Sector

The maintenance of railway components presents unique challenges due to the nature and intensive use of vehicles, which operate in harsh environmental conditions and accumulate particularly stubborn contaminants. The main cleaning challenges include:

• Encrusted oils and greases: Lubrication of mechanical parts is essential for the smooth operation of trains, but oils and greases tend to harden over time, making their removal more difficult. Inadequate cleaning of these substances can lead to overheating, friction, and excessive wear, especially in components such as bearings and joints.
• Brake material residues: The train braking system is subject to constant wear, generating brake dust, metallic residues, and particulates that accumulate on discs and other braking components. If not effectively removed, these residues can compromise braking system performance, reducing responsiveness and safety.
• Complex geometries and large components: Many train parts, such as axles, wheels, motors, and transmission systems, feature complex geometries and significant dimensions. This makes it difficult to reach all surfaces using traditional cleaning methods, requiring advanced washing solutions capable of ensuring uniform and deep cleaning even in the most challenging areas.

Customized Solutions

Each railway depot and maintenance workshop has specific needs in terms of available space, workload, and types of components to be treated, which may include large elements with complex geometries. For this reason, Teknox offers a range of customizable solutions designed to ensure thorough and safe cleaning of even the most delicate components and intricate mechanical parts. Choosing Teknox for washing railway components means opting for advanced technologies and reliable solutions capable of improving the quality and operational lifespan of trains.
