Successful completion of trial operation of a lubricating tram in Prague


On June 30th, the Railway Office in Prague was informed by Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy, a.s., about the results of trial operation of a special type of a motor tram vehicle T3, reg. no. 5572, equipped with a lubrication system of the rail crown and wheel flange with liquid friction modifier manufactured by IGRALUB AG. Within the trial operation, the vehicle covered at total of 35,308 km by June 29th, 2015, with no negative reactions from drivers. The operational reliability of the friction modifier was evaluated positively, and it was recommended to be approved for use. (Source of information: M. Slunečko, head of the Správa vozidel Tramvaje section).
The trial operation officially ended on July 13th, 2015.

  • Looking back on a long and very appreciated partnership, we engaged Sklenář s.r.o. for an installation of a special lubrication system for the top of rails. The manufactured parts by Sklenář s.r.o. were made of high quality and the installation work was perfect. Another good cooperation with Sklenář s.r.o.

    Günter Herzig, Managing Director IGRALUB AUSTRIA GmbH
  • "The supply of the palletising robot satisfied our expectations. Sklenář, s. r. o., was evaluated as one of our best suppliers with an exemplary approach to solving
    our problems."

    František Peringer, Gypstrend, s.r.o.
  • In 2015, we started a trial operation of a system of the additional lubrication of tram wheel flanges and the rail heads, supplied by Sklenář s.r.o. The HeadLub 90 friction modifier used meets the required parameters, and its applications significantly eliminate undesirable sound pressure and reduce the wear.
