- Advanced Jurid® 847 LL brake block helps
reduce noise, lower lifecycle cost and improve operating
security
- Union of Railways (UIC) homologated new product on
display at Tenneco's InnoTrans Braking stand
SKOKIE, Ill., June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tenneco will
showcase its new Jurid® 847 LL brake block for customers
in the rail freight industry at the 2022 InnoTrans in Berlin, Germany (September 20 – 23, stand 430 / Hall 1.2). The
Jurid® 847 has been homologated by the International
Union of Railways (UIC) and represents Tenneco's second generation
of LL blocks for Europe. Optimized
to reduce the rate of wheel wear and likelihood of costly wheel
damage, the advanced Jurid® 847 LL brake block helps
reduce total Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and helps improve operational
security of freight wagons. In addition to the new
Jurid® 847, the company will exhibit a selection of its
broad portfolio of friction products for rail customers at the
show.
Jurid® 847 has been specifically developed to satisfy
increasing demands to reduce noise emission caused by railway
traffic. It uses an optimized contact surface shape, advanced
friction material manufacturing techniques, and is expected to
sustain the high thermal loads seen on Alpine routes, enabling
usage across a broad range of rail tracks and with no limitations
for s-classification wagons. The product formulation was derived
from Tenneco's UIC-certified organic brake block products which are
known to improve in-service wheel life.
In addition to in-house simulation and dynamometer development,
the new Jurid® 847 LL brake block was extensively
evaluated during the UIC in-service tests as part of the
homologation process.
"Our advanced Jurid® 847 LL brake block provides
Tenneco customers with a valuable competitive advantage as rail
wheels are the costliest freight wagon service component, so the
extension of their operation life cycle has a significant effect on
vehicle total LCC," explains Maik Schlauss, Sales and Marketing
Director, Rail & Industry, for Tenneco's OE Braking business.
"Meeting the required homologation levels validates
Jurid® 847 as a robust evolution of our portfolio and
confirms the Jurid® brand's reputation for developing
leading friction solutions for the rail freight industry."
Strict new freight noise legislation is being phased in
throughout Europe, with
non-compliant freight wagons expected to be refused entry to
certain countries or routes. The new Jurid® 847 LL brake
block fulfils the requirements of the UIC for 2xBg and 2xBgu wagons
and is fully exchangeable with cast iron blocks P10 and/or the
first-generation LL blocks. It provides operators with cost
benefits through improved wagon LCC and reduced noise emissions
which comply with the latest European standards.
