Business Wire
The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR) announced today that Rail Polska
will implement the Timken� TracGlide� top-of-rail friction
management system on its M62 six-axle locomotive to integrate
energy-efficient technology into its railroad operations. The
TracGlide system is housed onboard a locomotive and works by
automatically dispensing a thin liquid, or friction modifier, to
the top of the rail as it moves across the tracks. The amount of
modifier is released and precisely controlled based on the current
track conditions and environmental factors. The TracGlide system
reduces rail wear, increases overall productivity and provides
energy savings along with reduced emissions. The dispensed liquid
is environmentally friendly and dissipates after all the rail cars
have passed. �The application of this new system with Rail Polska
is just one example of how Timken is working to deliver new
innovations in friction management that help our rail customers
achieve more efficient and productive operations,� said Hans
Landin, director of rail at The Timken Company. Based in Warsaw,
Poland, Rail Polska will utilize the system on its M62 six-axle
locomotive, which is used for long-haul transportation throughout
the country. Rail Polska is currently seeking certification for
this technology and expects installation to begin in November 2008.
