Industrial dry steam cleaning for locomotive underframes, bogies, brake systems, bearings and workshop floors — reducing water consumption by 90% while achieving superior degreasing and sanitation results.
Rail maintenance workshops face persistent cleaning challenges that conventional methods cannot efficiently solve.
Locomotive underframes and bogies accumulate thick layers of grease, lubricants and carbon deposits from continuous operation. Pressure washing alone cannot dissolve these contaminants effectively.
Traditional high-volume water washing floods workshop floors, creates slip hazards, and generates large volumes of contaminated wastewater requiring treatment before discharge.
Brake systems generate fine dust containing metal particles and carbon. High-volume water spreads rather than removes these contaminants, and standing water can cause corrosion on precision components.
Rail maintenance workshops operate on tight schedules with 24-hour shift patterns. Cleaning equipment must support continuous operation without frequent shutdowns or refilling.
High-temperature dry steam dissolves grease, softens carbon deposits and sanitizes surfaces — using only 20–30 liters of water per hour.
170–210°C dry steam softens grease, oil film and carbon deposits
6–10 bar adjustable pressure for delicate and heavy-duty surfaces
Loosened contaminants wipe clean; surfaces ready for inspection
Dry steam leaves no standing water; no flooding, no slip hazards
How rail maintenance workshops use the JNX-10 for specific cleaning tasks.
Why rail workshops are switching from high-volume pressure washing to dry steam cleaning.
| Parameter | Pressure Washing | JNX-10 Steam Cleaning |
|---|---|---|

Steam cleaning uses high-temperature dry steam (170–210°C) to soften and dissolve grease, oil, carbon deposits and brake dust without flooding the workshop. It consumes significantly less water (20–30 L/H vs hundreds of liters for pressure washing), reduces wastewater treatment costs, and avoids creating slip hazards on workshop floors. The dry steam also provides a sanitizing effect that pressure washing cannot achieve.
Yes. The JNX-10 delivers 6–10 bar steam pressure at 170–210°C through a 10m hose, which is effective for softening and removing grease, oil film, carbon deposits and brake dust on locomotive underframes. The adjustable pressure allows operators to clean delicate components and heavy-duty surfaces alike without damage.
Steam cleaning with the JNX-10 is suitable for: locomotive underframe cleaning, bogie frame and suspension degreasing, brake system cleaning (brake pads, calipers, discs), bearing housing degreasing, engine bay cleaning, component degreasing before inspection, workshop floor degreasing, and heat-based sanitation of workshop facilities.
Yes. The JNX-10 uses dry steam, not high-volume water. Dry steam cleans brake pads, calipers and discs without leaving standing water or causing corrosion. The controlled 6–10 bar pressure is gentle enough for precision components while effectively removing brake dust and carbon deposits.
The JNX-10 consumes 20–30 liters per hour of steam, compared to pressure washing systems that typically use 300–600 liters per hour. This reduces water consumption by 90–95%, eliminates workshop flooding, and significantly lowers wastewater treatment requirements.
The standard JNX-10 requires 380V / 50Hz / 3-phase power supply, which is common in industrial rail maintenance workshops. For project sites with only 220–240V single-phase power, a customized configuration or lower-output model should be discussed with the manufacturer.
Yes. The JNX-10 is designed for industrial environments including tropical and humid conditions. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, and the PLC control system provides stable operation. Final configuration should be confirmed based on site power supply, water quality and specific cleaning requirements.
Yes. For rail workshops handling fuel systems, paint shops or other hazardous areas, Jieneng manufactures ATEX-certified (2014/34/EU) and EAC-certified (TR CU 012/2011) explosion-proof steam cleaners. These models meet international safety standards for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous environments.
