Car-Repair Enterprises

Car-repair plants within the framework of the Russian Railways system impose special requirements for detergents used in washing wheel pairs, fastenings, axle equipment,  units and  bearings before disassembling, repair and fault detection, as soda film formed when using traditional detergents, leads to corrosion and later to intensive wear of  units and aggregates during operation. Deposits after washing can damage delicate components of measuring devices which results in distortion of measurement parameters (bearings and necks of wheel pairs of railway cars).

The use of ecologically safe detergent IDC “EFFECT”  (detergent characteristics) in washing and degreasing operations does not require change of technology and design of existing washing machines operation in a closed cycle; moreover,   there is no need of additional rinsing to remove  deposits  which can distort measuring devices data and cause corrosion (as in the case of  traditional detergents containing   caustic soda).

The use of IDC “EFFECT” is extremely effective in washing wheel pairs, fastenings, axle equipment, assemblies and  bearings and does not cause oxidation and corrosion of surfaces being washed. The presence of passivating additives and antistatic agents provides protection of the surface of units and aggregates being washed from corrosion (passivation) for the period of in-process storing of up to 1 000 hours.

IDC “EFFECT” detergent in combination with fully automated washing machines equipped with a cutter for removal of hydrocarbons separated during washing, can solve a lot of technological problems and to raise the quality of  surfaces treatment. Hydrocarbons separated in  washing process, are removed to a separate container for further utilization or selling to companies specializing in spent oil and lubricants reclamation.  More detailed description of this application is given in Instruction.
