The FluiLub rail maintenance systems bring an end to the squealing noise of rails in narrow curves and efficiently reduce the wear of wheels and rails.
The FluiLub system is developed for using thixotropic lubricants with high solid contents, achieving an ideal combination of adhesion and flowability in a spray lubricant for high-stress applications. The system is installed mainly on the leading vehicle axle. Due to the lubricants used, the lubricant is transferred to the following railheads or wheel flanges.
Types of Rail maintenance:
Rail Head Maintenance
Wheel Flange Lubrication
Compressed air transports the lubricant along the interior tube walls to the lube point. The special mixing distributor divides the lubricant precisely into the different lube pints.
Spray nozzles slightly moisten the wheel flange with a highly adhesive lubricating film, which is transferred to the following wheels by the contact with the rails and which cannot be thrown off even with very high speed. The whole process is controlled by an electronic control or the control unit of the vehicle.
Innovative wheel flange lubricants with high solids content guarantee reliable lubrication even with extreme temperature variations. This reduces noise and wear – proven by many applications.
