Rail Industry Component:
Heatrex Inc.: Single-Ended Tubular, Electric, Trackswitch Heaters

Heatrex Inc.

Heatrex single-ended tubular, electric, trackswitch heaters are a cost-effective, efficient method for the removal of snow and ice from switches, the company says. They are mounted inside or outside of the rail to melt ice and snow in the switch area. With the single-ended heater, power is supplied only to one end at installation, which can reduce installation time, labor and capital costs, especially on new installations, the company says. Outside mounting accommodates installation on the outside of the track by slipping the heater directly to the rail with available hardware.
