Railway sector

CEL Components' composites always arrive on time

Sandwich panels, especially those with an aluminium honeycomb core and skins or aluminium or fiberglass skins, are particularly suited for application in the railway sector. The reason for their use since the 1980s is the combination of light weight, stability, high mechanical performance and excellent fire behaviour.
Within the railway sector itself, sandwich panels lend themselves to a variety of applications:

  • sandwich panels for floors;
  • sandwich panels for seats, tables or cabinets;
  • components for anti-slip platforms;
  • flat or curved panels for ceilings and partition walls;
  • clima-acoustic panels
     

CEL makes use of its experience to create, together with customers and design studios, products to be integrated into the structure according to the needs expressed by the customers (possibility of inserts, edging, through holes or cavities for cables of any kind).
The ductility of aluminium and fibreglass sandwich panels makes it possible to meet the most stringent requirements of customers in the railway sector.

The materials offered range from aluminium to plastics with aesthetic finishes that make the sandwich panels ready for assembly.

CEL also offers its customers a range of machining operations such as edging, shaping, painting or adding inserts. For special projects, CEL uses 2D and 3D CAD software for the analysis of complex geometries and two laboratories for chemical and physical tests.
 


We often walk on a sandwich panel on the train

Train floors require large materials, capable of bearing heavy weights without losing stability, as all the elements of the carriage are attached to them.

CEL satisfies these needs by offering panels that combine light weight, flexural strength and large dimensions.

Some products, designed for the railway sector, have several certifications; they have therefore been subjected to destructive tests to test their reaction to fire and ensure the highest quality standards.
COMPOCEL® AL, ALUSTEP® F and ALUSTEP® FN for the R10 application obtained the best risk class HL3 according to the 45545-2 standard.
 


Seats, tables, cabinets with sandwich panels

CEL lightweight panels form the structure of tables and seats thanks to their incredible stability and strength and high mechanical capacity.


The lightweight anti-slip

For all those places where an anti-slip surface is required, including vehicle platforms, CEL offers its COMPOCEL® ALURIS or ALUMAN panel with a raw sheet on one side and an anti-slip sheet on the other. 

These panels are highly resistant and can withstand even uneven weight distribution. Surface treatments that allow the panel to perform well against corrosion can be used on request.
