Composite Panels
There are various types of composite panels that are
produced by Railtech Ltd. for both the railway and archi-
tectural industries. Panels manufactured for the mass transit
industry are often constructed with a plywood core covered
with either stainless steel or aluminum. This particular
panel construction is best suited for passenger car or subway
car flooring. An appropriate finish would then be placed over
the plymetal floor. Plywood core panels can also be used in a
car's interior finish by replacing either the aluminum or stain-
less steel with melamine to create the desired finish.
Through the company's research and development program, the
company created Aluminall. Aluminall is a honeycomb panel
which is incorporated into a building's exterior curtain wall
system. The product can be used for decorative purposes in any
building interiors as well.
Composite panels can be constructed to just about any desired
thickness or size.
Waste Treatment Systems
The company also manufactures waste treatment systems for
the rail industry. From the recirculating locomotive toilet
to the more elaborate waste treatment system found in Canada's
passenger rail cars, a variety of models are offered to accom-
modate our customer's requirements.
Skyfold Auto-lift Wall Systems
Skyfold is our latest creation. It is a unique, vertically
folding acoustical partition that nearly stores in the ceiling
when not in use. In the down position, Skyfold is a two sided,
hard, rigid wall with an STC rating of 48. Unlike most operable
walls, Skyfold is fully automatic and does not require manual
operation. Changes in the room or hall configuration can be
achieved very rapidly with a simple turn of a key.
Other Products
In the Railway industry, Railtech has manufactured many
products for heating of passenger cars and heating systems for
boxcars. As the winters in Canada are fairly severe, most goods
such as fruits and vegetables have to be heated during transpor-
tation. Therefore the railways use heated/insulated boxcars for
the movement of these products.
Electro-mechanical bell ringers are also manufactured. Every
locomotive in North America has a bell which rings continually
when it is moving slowly or is in reverse. Bells normally are
air operated but due to dirt and water in the oil, the bells
are often unreliable. This problem is avoided with Railtech's
bell as it is electrically operated.
