Aluminothermic Welding System

Molten steel produced through the reaction of iron oxide and aluminum is cast at a temperature exceeding 2000 degrees C in refractory moulds designed to suit the rails to be welded. This process features our CJ One-Shot Crucible, which is available for all of our current thermite welding processes. We offer a full range of rail welding kits to suit all American rail section including Worn Rail Welding and Wide Gap welding.

A-Frame Aligners

The A-Frame aligners allow for exact alignment of the rails
to be welded in a quick, reliable way. To ensure the best
alignment both rails can be lifted, moved horizontally and
rolled to eliminate twist.  The system is designed for easy
lifting, carrying and operation.

Hydraulic Pre-Heater

 
 
The Hyrdaulic Pre-Heating System improves weld quality and decreases
 significantly weld costs. The hydraulically-driven propane air-preheating
system provides the correct preheat within the same amount of time as
our current oxygen-propane preheating system while eliminating the
 possibility that the operator can cause rail melt and the associated slag
 inclusions that can come with it. Additionally, the system eliminates the
 need for commercial bottled oxygen.

NEW! Railtech Alignment Plates

The Railtech Alignment Plates allow the welder to accurately
align the rails through lift, twist, and horizontal adjustment.
The towers allow the rail to move vertically and reduce twist,
while the base of the rail sits on the rail-saddle to stabilize
and adjust by shifting horizontally.
