Custom Rotary Joint for Tunnel Cleaning Locomotives
High-pressure water service for rail tunnel washing trains
Overview
Rail tunnel cleaning locomotives blast high-pressure water against tunnel walls, linings and equipment while the washing gantry and nozzle assemblies articulate behind the moving train. The rotary joint on these machines carries the high-pressure water circuit across the moving interface without leaks or pressure loss — a duty where seal failure means immediate downtime for the whole cleaning consist. Ruitus builds these joints as customer-specific designs against the locomotive manufacturer's pressure, flow and connection requirements, with sealing materials selected for continuous high-pressure water service. Provide the equipment specifications and Ruitus will engineer the joint to match.
