The Automated Guideway Transit system(The AGT system) refers to a medium-sized transportation system which connects coastal cities (new urban areas) and existing urban areas. It is also widely used for transportation within airports. It acts as an intermediate role between railroads and buses.
The Yurikamome (in Tokyo, Japan) and the shuttle train of Miami airport (USA) are good examples.

The AGT system is often located aligned with coastlines and thus salt tolerance of the transit is essential. Kawaso Texcel has developed salt & dust resistant (double-grooved) insulators to serve this need. We have been ensuring the safety of the system for many years.

The AGT system, such as the Yurikamome, have trolley wires equipped on the side walls to supply power and our insulators designed specifically for the AGT system supports and secures those trolley wires.
Kawaso Texcel cooperates with customers since the system design stage to develop compact and easy-to-install insulators.
Our double-grooved insulators are characterized by a distinctive structure designed for the AGT system. The insulator has a double-layered cylindrical section, which reduces leakage current and provides excellent resistance to contamination.

Double-grooved insulators have been used for more than 35 years in harsh environments, such as heavy salt-damaged areas in coastal regions and factories in dusty and humid environments.
In a steel works, a large amount of dust flies, and the insulator gets dirty quickly. If it gets dirty, cannot be insulated and electricity will pass through. Our double-grooved insulators are used, which are resistant to dust in that harsh environment.
It is used by many major Japanese steel works.
In addition, our double-grooved insulators are used in cargo handling cranes at ports, which are greatly affected by salt damage.
