False www. torrent. co. uk cold expansion& huckbolt 26 About Cold Expansion Railway track is continually subjected to high cyclic tensile loads generated by the passage of rolling stock over joints. Flexing and displacement of rails at bolted joints, combine to induce high tensile loads at the bolt hole which often generates fatigue cracks. If left undetected, these fatigue induced cracks can lead to fractures which in extreme cases could cause train derailment. The cracking of rail- end bolt holes has been a major concern for years and a major cause of premature rail replacement, imposition of speed restrictions and is a significant factor in rail inspection and maintenance costs. Increased rolling stock loads and heavier rail traffic has made it even more essential to eliminate fatigue cracks and prevent potential costly derailments. Fatigue Technology’s ( FTI) RailTec System substantially increases the life of bolted rail by shielding bolt holes from the stresses that cause cracks and failure. FTI’s system has successfully extended the life of bolt holes in metal structures for over 25 years. ? Improves the fatigue life of a hole by at least 300% ? Arrests the growth of small cracks ? Cost- effective alternative to replacement track ? Reduces maintenance and inspection costs ? Increases the overall structural integrity and safety of the line We are able to offer a specially adapted rail drill which has vertical and horizontal axes adjustments and comes complete with a range of tools for opening out bolt holes. The drill can be used for the following applications: ? Drilling 30mm holes in new track ? Expanding undersize holes to 30mm ? Expanding bolt holes in existing track prior to cold expansion with three size options: 31mm; 32mm; 33mm. The drill and tooling ( shown opposite) eliminates the use of a Benkler rail drill, tapered bridge reamers and trolley mounted swivel jib. We also offer Training on how to use Cold Expansion Equipment.

False 24 HOUR HOTLINE: 0845 769 7168 welding& brazing 27 Pin Brazing Unit BB3 The portable BB3 is suitable for all types of installation and maintenance programmes. The pin brazing process of the unit is electronically controlled to provide total consistency and is pre- programmed to three settings. The relevant setting is shown on each pack of brazing pins. When the correct setting is selected on the control panel, the process is automatically timed to provide an optimum brazed connection. If required, it is also possible to use brazing pins with a fuse wire. The completely sealed batteries are of a high power design and can easily be recharged from a mains supply. The battery capacity is sufficient for approximately 150 brazes using the smallest type of brazing pin. ? Portable and easy to transport ? Electronically controlled for consistency and ease of use ? Up to 150 brazes without recharging batteries Specification Dimensions: 430x430x600mm Batteries: 12v 26AH Output current ( max): 260A Weight: 47kg 35- 001 CodeDescriptionWeight 15- 001 Genset MPM5/ 225 IEBH Welder/ Generator121.0kg 15- 002 Genset MPM5/ 180 ILPAE Welder/ Generator162.0kg 15- 003 Genset MPM7/ 250 IDRAE Welder/ Generator221.0kg 15- 004 Genset MPM10/ 300 IEL Welder/ Generator250.0kg 15- 005 WASAZED2 Wire Fed Unit17.0kg 15- 006 Welding Oven7.5kg 15- 007 Thermit Rail Welding Kit ( complete) 149.0kg 15- 008 Oxy- propane Cutting/ Pre- Heat Equipment7.0kg 15- 009 Oxy- acetylene Cutting/ Pre- Heat Equipment7.0kg 15- 010 Hilti TE104 110v Needle Gun ( Vibration: 9.0M/ s2) 12.0kg 35- 001 BB3 Pin Brazing Unit47.0kg 1Electric Powerpacks require a minimum of 5kVA.
