Zacens Rail Tank Car & Process Tank Insulation

Turnkey engineering for 200 Zacens tank cars and process tanks with RC Endustri in Sivas; meeting EN 45545-2 railway fire safety, vibration resistance, and extreme thermal shock tolerance.

Heavy-Duty Insulation Engineering in Rail Systems

Railway transportation is one of the most demanding engineering disciplines for industrial insulation due to dynamic vibration, aerodynamic loads, and extreme thermal swings from -30°C winter frost to +45°C summer heat.

As DETA Endüstri, in partnership with RC Endüstri Ulaşım Araçları A.Ş., we successfully completed the turnkey thermal insulation and sheet metal cladding of 200 freight, tanker, and chemical wagons at Sivas manufacturing facilities in a record 10-month period with zero incidents.

RC Endustri 200 Units Zacens Rail Tank Car Insulation Project

Turnkey thermal insulation and cladding of 200 rail freight and tank wagons at RC Endüstri facilities in Sivas over a 10-month production period compliant with EN 45545-2 fire norms, vibration-resilient rockwool mattresses, and DIN 4140 cladded metal protection.

Project Scope:200 Units Wagon & Process Tank
Insulation Material:EN 45545 Rockwool & Cladded Metal
Team & Duration:Certified Installation Crew / 10 Months
Applied Norms:EN 45545-2 HL2 / VDI 2055 / DIN 4140

3 Core Engineering Challenges & Our Solutions

01

Vibration & Fiber Settling

Standard mineral wool collapses under high-frequency rail vibrations creating thermal voids. High-density, vibration-resilient rockwool mattresses secured with welded stainless studs prevent fiber collapse.

02

Continental Thermal Shock (-30°C / +45°C)

Fourier cylindrical heat conduction modeled per VDI 2055 to prevent freezing or viscosity rise across severe temperature swings in Sivas continental climate.

03

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

Epoxy primers, moisture barriers, and double-seamed aluminum cladding eliminate moisture ingress from pressure washings and severe rain.

4-Stage Mass Manufacturing Field Methodology

Phase 1

Surface Blasting & Priming

Surfaces blasted to SA 2.5 and primed against condensation and sweating.

Phase 2

Vibration-Proof Stud Welding

Stainless steel insulation studs welded at uniform intervals to withstand mechanical shock.

Phase 3

EN 45545 Layered Insulation

Double-layered staggered rockwool mattresses eliminate thermal bridges and resist rail vibration.

Phase 4

Seamed Metal Cladding

Double-seamed aluminum cladding ensures complete water impermeability against high-speed wind and washings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zacens is a UIC/RID classified rail tank car (Z: tank wagon, a: 4 axles, c: bottom discharge, e: with heating coils, n: high payload, s: 100 km/h). Used for transporting bitumen, pitch, and heavy crude at temperatures up to +190°C. Insulation requires EN 45545-2 railway fire safety, heavy vibration resistance, and DIN 4140 weather-tight cladding.
In compliance with mandatory EN 45545-2 railway rolling stock safety, high-density non-combustible rockwool mattresses and barrier cloths rated for HL2/HL3 hazard levels with restricted smoke toxicity were utilized.
SA 2.5 blast-primed steel surfaces, vapor-retarder breathable layers, and double-grooved seam locking prevent moisture accumulation and water ingress from high-pressure washing stations.
External steam and thermal oil heating coils are wrapped with flexible high-density rockwool and high-temperature blankets, then covered under structural DIN 4140 cladding.
By utilizing DetaPlan 3D and DetaTherm BOM modeling, precision CNC cut cladding, and shift-based specialist installation crews, delivering 200 units within a 10-month schedule.
