CLEANING APPLICATIONS

FOR ROLLING STOCK

BIO-CIRCLE cleaning systems and liquids play a vital role in supporting the rail industry by delivering high-performance cleaning solutions that promote both efficiency and sustainability. Designed for the demanding requirements of rail maintenance, these systems effectively clean critical components such as bogies, gears and drives, bearings, axles, motors, braking systems, and wheel sets.

Through advanced low-VOC and VOC-free chemistries, BIO-CIRCLE solutions enable powerful cleaning at cooler temperatures, contributing to significant energy savings and improved workplace safety. By streamlining maintenance procedures and reducing environmental impact, these innovative systems support process optimisation and align with the rail sector’s decarbonisation goals.

BOGIES

BIO-CIRCLE cleaning systems are specifically designed to tackle the heavy contamination found on train bogies, including built-up grease, oil, brake dust, and track grime.

Our powerful, water-based cleaners penetrate deep into hard-to-reach areas around suspension components, wheel assemblies, and brake linkages.

Operating at lower temperatures, our systems reduce energy use while maintaining high cleaning performance.

MOTORS & DRIVES

BIO-CIRCLE cleaning systems provide targeted, high-performance cleaning for train motors and drive systems, including stators, rotors, gear housings, cooling fins, and terminal boxes.

Our advanced water-based, low-VOC or VOC-free chemistries effectively remove insulating oil residues, carbon dust, gear lubricant, and track grime without compromising electrical insulation or mechanical integrity. Ideal for traction motors, pinion gears, and drive shafts, BIO-CIRCLE enables safe cleaning at lower temperatures, reducing thermal stress on components while supporting preventative maintenance, operational uptime, and energy efficiency.

BEARINGS

BIO-CIRCLE cleaning systems ensure optimal performance of train bearings by effectively removing grease, oil, and particulate buildup from bearing housings, rolling elements, and raceways.

Incorporating manual and automatic parts cleaning setups, with high-pressure options too, our systems use powerful, water-based chemistries that are low-VOC or VOC-free, providing safe and thorough cleaning without damaging precision surfaces.

Whether cleaning tapered roller bearings, cylindrical bearings, or axle box units, BIO-CIRCLE helps maintain smooth rotation, reduce wear, and extend service life - keeping trains running safely and efficiently.

Cleaning gears and brakes in the train industry

GEARS & BRAKING SYSTEMS

BIO-CIRCLE cleaning systems deliver efficient cleaning of train gears and braking components, including gear wheels, pinions, brake calipers, discs, pads, and actuators.
Using advanced bioremediating, water-based cleaning chemistries, our cleaning systems break down and remove stubborn grease, gear oil, and brake dust without harming critical surfaces.

Suitable for both manual and automatic cleaning applications, BIO-CIRCLE solutions maintain the integrity of gear meshes and braking assemblies while supporting a cleaner, safer maintenance environment, reduced emissions and longer equipment life, ensuring consistent performance in rail operations.

AXLES & WHEEL SETS

BIO-CIRCLE cleaning systems provide powerful, low environmental impact cleaning for train axles and wheel sets, including axle journals, wheel hubs, wheel rims, and bearing seats.
Our water-based, low-VOC or VOC-free formulations effectively remove grease, oil, brake residue, and metallic debris without damaging precision-machined surfaces.

Ideal for use in both maintenance depots and wheel shops, BIO-CIRCLE supports safe, efficient cleaning of monobloc wheels and solid or hollow axles, helping to prevent wear, ensure accurate inspections, and maintain reliable performance across the entire rolling stock.

OTHER

BIO-CIRCLE chemistries offer versatile, high-performance cleaning for all surfaces in trains - interior and exterior including train toilets with low-VOC, non-aggressive formulas that effectively remove organic waste, scale, and odours from sanitary systems. Other applications include tackling graffiti on interior panels, windows, and seating surfaces.

Used extensively in depots and workshops, BIO-CIRCLE systems and liquids support a wide range of cleaning, maintenance, and refurbishment tasks - from deep-cleaning of high-touch areas to preparing surfaces for repair, helping maintain cleanliness, hygiene, and passenger comfort across the fleet.
