Brown Aluminium Oxide

ALCAB is an extremely hard brown fused alumina which is very resistant against fracturing on impact. It is the second hardest mineral after a diamond.


VIEW PRODUCT >

Steel Grit

Steel Angular Grit is produced by crushing specifically heat-treated shot pellets. Service characteristics depend upon hardness selection.


VIEW PRODUCT >

Steel Shot

Steel Shot is a fully heat-treated spherical product of hyper-eutectoid steel. It has a uniform structure of finely tempered martensite to provide optimum resilience and resistance to fatigue.

Trackrite Mineral Slag Traction Media

Trackrite® is a specially selected and graded mineral slag with sharp angular particles, black in colour and particularly resistant to fracturing when crushing forces are applied to it. This gives the product superior traction qualities.

FUNCTION : Trackrite® is used as a locomotive traction media to increase the friction (traction) between the steel drive wheels of the locomotive and the steel track it runs on. The traction between these two steel surfaces is dramatically increased as the drive wheels rolls onto the Trackrite® which is applied immediately in front or behind the drive wheels. Reducing drive wheel slip under extreme conditions such as emergency braking, ascending or descending steep slopes or accelerating from standstill allows for safe and efficient control over the locomotive unit.
