Please join us on the 19th and 20th June at Rail Live to see the Siemens Mobility Variable Rate Sanding (VRS) system demonstration in action. Come and have a chat at stand F21 where we can demonstrate the VRS system in action and discuss the possibilities for you. I've had the pleasure of managing this project over the past 3 years whilst also undertaking the mechanical integration design for SWR's Class 158 and 159 fleet with a fabulous team. Words cannot describe how exciting we are to show such an important system to enhance safety on the railways. Highlights: The modular design allows for easy installation onto any sand hopper profile currently fitted on trains. New sand hopper can also be provided for Double Variable Rate Sanding (DVRS) or increased sand capacity. Braking distances can be reduced by up to 50% in low adhesion conditions. Single Variable Rate Sanding (SVRS) system consistently providing above 5%g train deceleration using a 4kg/min variable rate program. SVRS 6kg/min variable rate program providing above 7%g train deceleration.
Join us for a live demo of our new Variable Rate Sanding (VRS) system at Rail Live next week on the 19 & 20 of June! 📅 This Siemens Mobility VRS system can reduce braking distances by up to 50% compared to traditional fixed sanding systems, reducing the likelihood of Signal Passed At Danger (SPAD) and greatly enhancing safety for passenger rail. With the easy fit bolt-on design, the VRS system can integrate seamlessly with current on-board hardware. 🛠 Come and visit us at stand F21 where myself and the project team can demonstrate and discuss the possibilities for you. #RailLive #RailInnovation 🚝
