Cleaning for the railway industry

03 March de 2025

The railway industry faces constant challenges in the maintenance and cleaning of its components. The accumulation of dirt, grease, oils and carbon residues on essential parts can affect the performance and safety of trains. In this context, ultrasonic cleaning technology has emerged as an innovative, efficient and sustainable solution to ensure the proper maintenance of railway parts.


Ultrasonic cleaning of railway components is presented as the most efficient solution for the maintenance of all types of parts. Our ultrasonic cleaning equipment is designed to withstand heavy loads, allowing effective cleaning of railway engines without inconvenience.
 

Cleaning for the railway industry with ultrasonic machines

What is ultrasonic cleaning and how does it work?
Ultrasonic cleaning is an advanced process that uses high-frequency sound waves generated by transducers to create microbubbles in a cleaning liquid. These bubbles implode with force, generating a cavitation effect that dislodges dirt adhering to the surfaces of the parts without damaging them. This process is particularly effective in removing contaminants from hard-to-reach areas and complex geometries.

 

Railway parts that can be cleaned with ultrasound

Ultrasonic cleaning machines are highly versatile and can be used to clean a wide variety of components in the railway industry, including:

  • Engines and mechanical components: Engine blocks, pistons, connecting rods and cylinder heads.

  • Brake systems: Brake discs, calipers and cylinders.

  • Hydraulic and pneumatic components: Valves, pumps, pipes and cylinders.

  • Wheels and bogies: Removal of friction residues and lubricants.

  • Transmission elements: Gears, shafts and couplings.

Common questions about ultrasonic cleaning in the railway industry

1. What are the most recommended frequencies for cleaning railway parts?
Frequencies between 25 kHz and 40 kHz are the most suitable for deep cleaning of metal and mechanical parts.

2. What type of cleaning liquids are used?
Aqueous solutions with specific biodegradable detergents are used to remove grease and residue without damaging the parts.

3. Can ultrasound damage sensitive components?
No, as long as the appropriate frequency and power parameters are used.

4. How long does an ultrasonic cleaning cycle last?
It depends on the type of contamination and material, but it usually ranges between 10 and 30 minutes.

5. Can railway electronic components be cleaned?
Yes, but they must be dried and properly protected after the process.
