From signal assemblies to piston rings and a whole lot more – our equipment and processes been finishing Railroad and Maintenance of Way (MOW) components for decades.
Railroad & MOW
Parts Washing and Finishing of Gears, Components, Castings, and Much More…
New locomotives, parts suppliers, or MRO shops – we have experience supporting them all. Same for shortlines, Class I railroads, and everything in between.
Our equipment and processes support high-volume production.
Engineered for durability, repeatability, and consistent precision results.
Done Right Example: Thru-Feed Vibratory Finishing
Challenge:
The OEM reached out to improve efficiency, throughput, and ergonomics of their heat treatment process in one of their parts plants. Their existing process involved manual loading and was slower. It also relied on media that required additional physical labor to clean and reset the process. The existing equipment could not support the demands of steel media.
Solution:
We answered the call with four integrated systems, featuring parts-loading conveyors, media-loading conveyors, and a sturdier build to support steel media. Switching to steel media reduced media purchases over time and eliminated the repetitive, time- and labor-intensive process of cleaning broken-down media and dust from the existing process.
Built for Rail and Heavy Equipment Applications
Reliability Through Process Control
ALMCO systems deliver highly repeatable deburring, polishing, and cleaning results, ensuring every component meets performance requirements in high-load, high-cycle environments.
Engineered for Consistency at Scale
Designed for mass production, ALMCO equipment produces uniform finishes across high volumes of parts, supporting predictable assembly and long-term reliability.
Total Process Ownership
From process development to equipment design and ongoing support, ALMCO provides complete finishing solutions that reduce variability and improve throughput.
Built to Integrate Into Your Operation
Systems are engineered to operate as standalone solutions or integrate seamlessly into automated manufacturing lines for rail and heavy equipment production.
Built for the Toughest Rail Grime Cleaning & Part Finishing Challenges
Industrial Parts Finishing Systems
Vibratory finishing, spindle finishing, and barrel systems are designed to deburr, polish, and improve surface integrity across a wide range of components.
