AEC Systems has developed a spray wash for cleaning used railcar and locomotive wheel axles. Utilizing reciprocating, revolving brushes, this axle washer can take a 20+-year old axle with hardened grease, mud, and rust, and turn it into a like-new looking axle, at the rate of one axle every 3 minutes. AEC Systems’ axle washers are available in natural or propane gas, electric, or steam-heating systems. For customers that want a brush-only machine, the washer can be supplied without any heated spray cycle.
