DB Cargo – VTG consortium is developing and testing four new wagon types. The testing has started in March 2018 and as of August 2018 the wagons have completed over 90000 test miles. The project forecasts further 45000 miles before the tests are concluded. The innovations entail new digital systems for improved wagon handling and…
Tenmat composite bearings are perfect for use with EAL systems due to their resistance to acidic conditions, which destroy white metal bearings. Major EAL manufacturer has conducted a range of extensive tests with Tenmat bearing materials. The results have confirmed a full compatibility of the materials with the conditions present when EALs are used. THE…
TENMAT FIREFLY hot gas filter elements are manufactured from bio-soluble materials and inorganic bonds, enabling them to be used at temperatures in excess of 1000°C. FIREFLY filter elements are designed to remove particulate pollutants from hot gases. FIREFLY filters operate at temperatures and efficiencies higher than those achievable with any conventional filtration systems. Other chemical…
The US Vessel General Permit (VGP), demands the use of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) or the use of an air seal if mineral oils are the acting as lubricants. The latter option, not only requires heavy investment, but there is no guarantee as if the air seal was to fail, ship owners would still be…
TENMAT’s weldable tungsten carbide composite material FEROBIDE is the ideal solution for scroll flight protection, as it allows for direct welding to the scroll using conventional welding methods with no need for an intermediate “carrier” as conventional tungsten carbide tiles do. Since there is no need for a carrier, FEROBIDE tiles have a larger wear…
