| FEATURE |
FUNCTION |
BENEFIT |
| Extruded virgin rubber |
Absorbs destructive energy from
both rail deflection and vehicular traffic.
Extends expected crossing life. |
| • |
Maintains integrity of rail fastening system. |
| • |
Reduces overall maintenance costs. |
| • |
Reduces traffic disruptions (both for rail and
road traffic) and allows optimal train speeds through
the life cycle. |
|
Interface profile matches
exact contours of rail |
Seals out surface water and foreign elements. |
| • |
Reduces fouled and contaminated ballast,
maximizing structural support. |
| • |
Life cycle of rail fastening system is greatly
improved |
|
| Flexible flangeway |
Allows train and vehicular traffic to break up
dirt and ice. |
| • |
Prohibits compaction of flangeway contaminants,
greatly reducing the threat of derailments. |
| • |
Provides a maintenance free interface for both
railroads and road authorities. No costly flangeway
leaning or signal problems. |
|
| Guaranteed reusable |
At least two crossing rehabilitation’s from
every foot of Epflex Railseal. |
| • |
Lower cost per year when amortized over
life of product. |
|
| Installation supervision |
Skilled personnel available to train your crews. |
| • |
Speeds installation and greatly reduces
installation costs. |
|
| Compression clip for joining lengths |
Keeps surface water draining out of crossing. |
| • |
Keep joints under tension. Tight fit directs
water to drainage ditches. |
|
| Designed to maximize load support from adjoining
materials |
Evenly distributes load bearing between the rubber,
asphalt and rail. |
| • |
Maximizes load support of rail and asphalt
while allowing sufficient isolation to absorb destructive
energies. |
|
| Flexible support diaphragm design |
Maximizes support from ballast between ties. |
| • |
Load bearing is uniform through the length
of the crossing. (On the ties and between) |
| • |
Epflex Railseal is held tight to the rail during installation
to insure proper orientation of finished crossing. |
|
| Optimal surface groove design |
Absorbs initial impact through localized deformation. |
| • |
Amount of impact stress transferred to the
rail and fastening system is greatly reduced. |
| • |
Rebounds quickly to keep Epflex at grade. |
|
| Eplock II installation clips |
Maximum holding force, easily and uniformly applied,
every time. |
| • |
Optimal job with little or no supervision. |
| • |
Clamping force insures destructive forces are not transferred
to the asphalt blanket. |
|
| Stackable packaging |
Product stored straight, neat and safe. |
| • |
No preset distortion from "piled" rubber. |
| • |
Minimal space required. |
| • |
Easily transloaded to job site. |
|
| ISO 9001 Registered |
Complete quality system through all phases of
production and design. |
| • |
Customer confidence that every need will
be met or exceeded, every time. |
| • |
Quality ensures on time delivery, usually from inventory. |
