Wheel Flange Lubricators

Description

For more than 35 years Sécheron has been manufacturing and delivering wheel flange lubricators for railway vehicles throughout the world. Its function is to introduce lubricant between the rail and the wheel flange in order to reduce the friction between both parts, and consequently reducing wear.
During recent years, thanks to cooperation with the Austrian Federal Railway Engineering Services Department, the spray concept has been further developed to reach an optimized efficiency with a biodegradable lubricant.
