A client approached us to replace the various rubber seals in the carriages as part of a refurbishment programme.
The Problem
The rubber seals were aged and had lost their capabilities, resulting in draughty windows and doors and excessive noise in the carriage, impacting passenger comfort.
The Solution
Nufox Rubber reverse-engineered the various profiles based on samples taken from the carriages, prepared a new series of drawings, and then produced samples for fit and function.
We used the latest compounding technology to ensure compliance with current regulations and improved performance.
Where applicable, seals were redesigned to accommodate the constant friction and distortion experienced in service, thus extending their longevity.
The Result
The train provided had draught-free carriages, with rubber seals compliant with the latest regulations and a longer lifespan.
