Crafting Superior Train Interior Components: Kaerda’s Manufacturing Excellence
Jiangsu Lantai (Kaerda) recognizes the railway industry as a critical market for advanced composite materials, where Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) and Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) offer exceptional advantages for train interior components. Our manufacturing excellence is centered on producing high-quality, durable parts such as window frames, table and seat structural panels, floor and ceiling panels, washroom modules, and driving cabin panels. We utilize specially formulated SMC and BMC materials, developed by Kaerda, to ensure these components meet the rigorous demands of daily rail operations, including high passenger traffic and stringent safety standards. Our precision molding techniques and in-house material production guarantee parts with consistent quality, structural integrity, and long-term performance.
The longevity and low maintenance of our train interior components stem directly from the inherent properties of our advanced SMC and BMC materials and our meticulous manufacturing processes. These composites provide an excellent high strength-to-weight ratio, contributing to lighter, more energy-efficient trains. They exhibit superior chemical resistance, making them easy to clean and maintain, and boast a long serving life due to their inherent anti-aging and robust characteristics. Furthermore, Kaerda’s SMC/BMC parts for rail applications are designed with zero shrinkage and excellent dimensional stability, ensuring perfect fit and finish throughout the train’s operational life.
Advanced Technology in Composite Molding for Modern Rail Interiors
Kaerda (Jiangsu Lantai) leverages state-of-the-art technology in the production of its SMC and BMC Train Interior Parts, ensuring superior quality, design precision, and manufacturing efficiency. Our facilities are equipped with 5 advanced SMC sheet production lines, 7 sets of specialized BMC equipment, and a comprehensive array of 16 different tonnage molding machines (including large presses like our 2500T unit). This substantial technological infrastructure enables the efficient production of a wide variety of train interior components, from large panels to complex structural elements. The advanced molding capabilities facilitate exceptional design flexibility, allowing for the creation of parts with integrated features, complex curvatures, and smooth, paint-possible surfaces that meet the aesthetic demands of modern train design. Furthermore, our process controls contribute to achieving components with effective noise reduction properties, enhancing passenger comfort.
