FrictionEase™

Rail Applicator

High rail and check rail lubrication have now become good practice around the world to provide extended rail and wheel life. As we increase our understanding of the relationship between rail and wheel, we see other factors coming into play. It is now evident that material is needed on the head of the rail to help reduce squeal, corrugation, lateral force low rail RCF and excessive energy consumption. Using our electric rail applicators to apply friction modifiers to the head of the rail will help overcome these issues.

Friction modifier can be picked up and applied along the head of the rail by passing wheels from the blades.

• Applied from electric applicators
• Carry more than 1km
• Reduces squeal
• Reduces low rail RCF to give large operating cost reductions
• Reduces energy consumption
