Railroads switches are critical points of the railway infrastructure. Especially in the winter months, ice formation, snow or freezing water often leads to malfunctions or failures of the switch functions. This can have a significant impact on rail traffic – up to and including delays and operational cancellations.

The switch heater from elke TECHNIK was specially developed for robust outdoor use in railway applications. The silicone heater adapts ideally to the shape of the switching point and ensures uniform heating of the compartment through extensive heat transfer.
