Tammermatic Interclean Group - Train Wash Systems and Locomotive Washers

Tammermatic InterClean Group is the world's largest supplier of locomotive washers and wash systems, tram washers and wash systems, light train washers and wash systems, train washers and wash systems, and metro washers and wash systems.

Locomotive, tram, light train, train and metro washers and wash systems

The most important strength of Tammermatic InterClean Group is its ability to provide not just reliable, high-quality locomotive, tram, light train, train and metro washers and wash systems, but also a comprehensive after-sales service, which covers user training, servicing, parts and washer chemicals.

Train and metro vehicle washer

The XJ-1000 train and metro vehicle washer is a modular wash system. It comprises snow removal, pre-cooling, pre-wash and rinse arch equipment, as well as brush, dryer, motor control and central lubrication units. Water reclaim units are also available for this train and metro vehicle washer.

Steel-frame train wash and metro wash systems

The frames of XJ-1000 train wash and metro wash systems are steel structures, which are primed and coated with epoxy paint. Pipework for water and cleaning chemicals as well as multilayer filters are of stainless steel (AISI 316). The chemical and mixing containers are of non-corrosive plastic material.

Trains can be driven through XJ-1000 train wash and metro wash systems at 1.5km/h to 2.5km/h (25m/min to 41m/min).

Touchless train wash systems

In 2004 InterClean completed the last of three Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system touchless train wash sytems. The BART train wash project not only set new standards for wash equipment, it also was the first train wash system ever built with documentation on par with the documentation of the trains it is supposed to wash.

Light train wash systems

Because InterClean has built over 600 touchless train wash systems, it has been in a position to improve rail wash system performance by applying the latest chemical washing principles for its train wash systems. BART aluminum BUD cars were the first light rail vehicles that were brightened with alkaline chemistry using a train wash system.

Locomotive washers

Tammermatic InterClean locomotive washers have been successfully used in a variety of different applications and climates, from the iron mines of Australia to the Canadian Arctic. The CentriSpinner is the most effective piece of equipment ever designed for diesel locomotive washing.

Diesel locomotive wash systems

Many suppliers seeking to enter the locomotive washing market have tried to copy Tammermatic InterClean's successful cleaning technology and design, but as yet none have been successful. InterClean stands alone in its ability to tackle the difficult issues related to washing diesel locomotives.

Tammermatic InterClean Group was born when two leading experts in washer solutions for rolling stock, InterClean Equipment and Tammermatic, merged in April 2008. The group has production facilities in Ann Arbor, Michigan, US and in Tampere, Finland, and operates globally. Take a look at what a leading rail washer supplier has to offer.
