During wintertime accumulation of snow and ice typically between the stock rail and the switch point blade may cause switch point to fail. For tramlines the switch points are often embedded in the road
Tramline switch points are not only exposed to the usual harsh railway environment. They are also exposed to salt coming from the anti road freezing.
SAN Railway System has developed a series of switch point heating elements to sustain these extreme conditions.
The single ended connection is extra sealed to avoid any moisture problems, and the heating element is made of MONEL 400 to resist the corrosive environment.
The heating elements are produced in various, length, electrical compatibility and energy intensity. All depending on the actual local demands and conditions.
