ISTEL 3000, the exclusive distributor of ELPA d.o.o. in Ukraine, implements effective and proven solutions aimed at reducing noise and wear of railway infrastructure components. ELPA technologies have been successfully used on European Union railways for more than 30 years and are recognised for their high efficiency, environmental safety, and compliance with international standards.
CL-E1® — Stationary Trackside System for Applying Noise- and Wear-Reducing Material on Curved Rails
CL-E1® is a stationary system designed to apply an anti-noise and anti-wear composite material onto rails in curved sections. Thanks to the use of the CHFC composite compound, the system provides:
more than a 3.3-fold reduction in rail wear
noise reduction of up to 30 dBA
stable operation regardless of weather conditions;
minimal maintenance requirements.
BREMEX ANNSYS® — Innovative Noise-Reduction System for Rail Retarders
BREMEX ANNSYS® is an innovative solution designed for rail retarders on marshalling yards. The system significantly reduces noise and vibration during wagon braking, ensuring improved working conditions for personnel, reducing noise exposure for nearby residents, and extending the service life of infrastructure components.
i-ROCK® — Onboard Progressive System for Reducing Wheel Flange Noise and Wear
i-ROCK® is an onboard progressive system designed to reduce noise and wear on wheel flanges. It provides:
automatic and precise dosing of the composite material
preservation of traction performance
environmentally safe and corrosion-free operation
All ELPA solutions are based on CHFC (composite hardly fluid compound) — a highly durable composite material that protects rails and wheels without solvents, heavy metals, or corrosion risks. ELPA products have received European awards, hold patented technologies, and are certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. These solutions have been successfully used on EU railways for more than three decades.
ISTEL 3000 provides selection, installation, and full service support for ELPA systems, enabling Ukrainian railway operators to:
reduce operational and maintenance costs
extend the service life of infrastructure and rolling stock
decrease noise impact
align operational standards with EU requirements
Sincerely,
The ISTEL 3000 Team
