Traction Motor Cleaning and Vacuum Drying Station

During the overhaul of traction motors (TMs) the first and most important operation is the perfect cleaning and drying of stator and rotor windings, prior to testing and diagnosing.

Railways using PROCECO's 4-stage Aqueous Cleaning and Vacuum Drying Technology have found that out of a random sample of TMs returned to the shop for overhaul only ∼10% will actually require partial or complete rewinding operations, while 90% will regain acceptable resistance readings after cleaning and drying and can return to service, after minor repairs and vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI).

TYPHOON®-HD TRACTION MOTOR CLEANING AND VACUUM DRYING PLANT

Traction Motor stators (1/load) and rotors (4/load) are processed through wash-rinse-rinse-vacuum dry, with axis in vertical position. Design is optimal for traction motors with rotors with axial cooling ducts, such as GE, GM, and EMD models, for example. Mechanical traction motor parts like bearings, bearing housings, pinions, axle cap, etc. are placed on special racks and washed. Production rate : 4TMs/8hr shift
