Proceco offers a complete line of multi-stage,
automated aqueous degreasing and cleaning systems engineered
for the demanding rail and transit maintenance processes.
These parts washers deliver fast, high-quality cleaning while
reducing chemical and labor costs. Proceco can also custom
design systems tailored to your specific needs.
All Proceco cleaning technology uses environmentally friendly
water-based cleaning solutions instead of harmful solvents.
During the wash cycle, workpieces are sprayed with recirculated,
hot aqueous cleaning solution containing a low detergent concentration
(between 2% and 5%) to effectively remove oils, greases, debris
and road dusts prior to inspection and repair.
Rail-Fed Bogie Washing Plants are aqueous degreasing
systems specifically designed to automatically wash and rinse
transit car and locomotive bogies/trucks (without traction motors)
moving on their own wheels, in various states of disassembly.
These cleaning systems use Proceco's exclusive spray manifold design,
which surrounds the bogie on all 4 sides and travels back
and forth over the entire length of the workpiece to ensure
effective cleaning of all surfaces. Typical cleaning time
is 20 - 45 minutes, dependant on the degree of contamination
of workpieces. Cleaning processes are controlled by a PLC.
Proceco Bogie Cleaning Systems can also clean bogie frames without
wheels and various other components using the optional parts
trolley. Other options are available for enhanced performance
and increased production.

Locomotive Truck and Diesel Engine Washers
Locomotive Truck and Diesel Engine Cleaning Systems are
engineered to wash and rinse diesel engine blocks with oil
pan mounted in a rotary fixture or 2- and 3-axle locomotive
truck frames (without traction motors).
These heavy-duty parts cleaning systems
are top loading. The workpiece is loaded by overhead crane
(supplied by customer) onto the support grill in the spray
cabinet. During the cleaning cycle, a spray nozzle frame surrounding
the workpiece on all 4 sides travels back and forth over the
entire length of the block to effectively clean all surfaces.
Cleaning processes are controlled by a PLC. A wide range of
options are available to enhance performance and increase
production.
