Transcript of Tranergy at a Glance, V2
1. Asset Utilization 2. Network Solutions
What if?solving one problem didnt create new problems? solving one problem solved multiple problems? the best technology were also less expensive? solutions tackle root causes (vs. symptoms)? solving MOW problems also: Reduces safety risks of derailment, slipping, fire, damage Increases productivity, benefiting Transportation Extends rail & rolling-stock asset-life Generates fuel energy savings Enhances community relations by reducing noise pollution & hazardous-waste pollution
How?
TRANERGY Family of Products - IImproves yard productivity by reducing car stalls and improving rollabilityYardGlide SwitchEnhancer Wheel Detection
Reduces derailments and ensures safe switch operation
Rugged, economical wheel detectors and interfaces
Reduces train noise on curves by up to 20 dB
Track Noise Suppressor
Environmentally clean
Lubricants and Friction Modifiers
TRANERGY Family of Products - IIImproves train operation on curves by reducing lateral forces and MOW costsCurvGlide BridgeGlide SwitchCurvGlide
Reduces track and bridge forces, rail wear, noise and vibration
Combines the benefits of SwitchEnhancer and CurvGlide in one unit
Reduces crane motor power draw and track noise to improve productivity and reliability
Portal CraneGlide
Improves the performance and life of overhead cranes by reducing motor burnout and broken wheel flanges
Overhead CraneGlide
CurvGlide at a glanceReduces lateral forces, track damage, and wheel wear Reduces energy consumption and noise One Lubricant for TORL & gage face applied using one machine in different film thicknesses No hardware near or on top of rail which can pose a safety hazard Lubricant flows smoothly in controlled quantities in winter or summer (-30 F to 165 F) Lubricant is environmentally clean & does not build up a residue on the rail Very small quantities of lubricant applied precisely no waste none applied to locomotive wheels One machine can lubricate 3 parallel tracksSee also separate video demonstration
CurvGlide -- quantifiable benefitsReduces track maintenance cost Reduces derailment/gage widening forces and actual derailments Reduces rail and wheel wear and rail corrugations Saves energy used by the train in curves Reduces wheel-rail noise Reduces MOW expenses Keeps track clean and reduces slipping hazard Does not contaminate locomotive wheels with lubricant and helps to maintain adhesion.The Competition, gage-face grease: 6 times more expensive with fewer quantifiable benefits!

SwitchEnhancer at a glanceAutomatic Switch Lubricator Reduces turnout derailments Reduces turnout and MOW Costs Builds Capacity Reduces rail fractures near switches Increases switch life three-foldA unit operating on a Class I mainline (60-100 trains / day) had no switch calls for 2-1/2 years
No track time required for lubrication Functions well after rain/snowSee also separate video demonstration
SwitchEnhancer -- quantifiable benefitsReturn on InvestmentFor critical switches in a yard For mainline switches 11 months 5 months
NOTE: The cost of disruption of traffic due to switch breakdown can be very high on the mainline and in the yard. If this cost is included, ROI can be achieved in as little as 1 2 months.
YardGlide at a glanceReduced Derailments Reduced short stops and needed trim Eliminate tipped rail Consistent car rolling speeds Reduced lateral forces on sharp curves Reduced roll outs Reduced collisions Reduced track maintenance costs Increased output per day through the yard

YardGlide -- quantifiable benefitsImproves yard productivity (# cars handled) 10-20% Improves consistency of car speeds, substantially
improving tower control over car movements Protects the safety of yard personnel by eliminating grease pools and slick surfaces Reduces collision damage of carsExit speeds reduced from 10-12mph to 7-8mph Coupling speeds reduced from 8-15mph to 4-6mph
TracGlide at a glanceTop-of-rail Onboard Lubrication Computer-controlled delivery & optimizing system Computerized operating-data gathering system A lubricant under rolling conditions; a friction agent under
braking Environmentally clean In the long run, fewer locomotives pull more cars Mainline friction management: the beginning of a significant, long-term RR trendA Timken-Tranergy Joint Venture
TracGlide -- quantifiable benefitsIndependent testing by Class I RRs & AAR-TTCI confirmed: Fuel savings up to 42% Productivity improvement > 5%increased train speed consist changes: adding 10-24 cars reducing 1 locomotive
Track maintenance savings 5%Customer-specific results available upon request
