Firmly in the Green on Ecology and Economy

The JURID 816M K-block with reduced noise emissions is a significant contribution by Federal-Mogul Motorparts towards protecting the environment.

Additionally, it also offers several economic benefits. K-blocks from Jurid not only minimize wheel wear, they also reduce wear on the brake block by up to 80 % compared with GG-blocks. From the user’s perspective, JURID 816M K-block last up to five times longer and therefore increase maintenance intervals by a factor of four.

In anticipation of the impending legal requirements, the first freight train operators have already launched innovation programs to convert their freight cars from cast iron blocks to K-blocks. Careful scheduling of maintenance intervals makes the conversion process very cost effective. Operators who have already made the switch are experiencing a significant competitive advantage.

The JURID 816M K-Block as an Alternative

Not only can the JURID 816M K-block can not only be fitted as original equipment or when converting existing freight cars with cast iron brakes, it can also be used in place of other composite block products. After all, the JURID 816M K-block is approved for all major standard applications. Federal-Mogul Motorparts engineers will be happy to assist you on any applications not covered by these standards.
