Malaysia KTMB Commuters
Lightweight & simply modular ceiling supplied by Hongseong Industrial Co.
A ceiling project of KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad) 30 car project was finished in 2009. KTMB requires lightweight ceiling material and humid-resistant materials for their project. Rotem contracted city commuters of 30 cars to Malaysia KTMB(Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad), Formerly known as the Malayan Railway Administration, in 2008 which speed up to 140 km per hour. KTMB required maximum speed of 160 km per hour and commercial speed of a little lower with 6 car 1 module. This train runs in local from June 2010 in Malaysia.
Typically KTMB trains have been applied plymetal flooring system which is non-ferrous metal surface and plywood cores. Such floor system became decayed until the train operation periods due to tropical hot and humid weather condition in Malaysia.
The ceiling in this train was Hivetecks honeycomb panel with lightweight, flatness and fire-proof materials. This ceiling system is consists of aluminum extruder with all perimeters of the full lines of ceiling modules. Main cabin and vestibule room were covered by Hivetecks honeycomb panel which is manufactured, fabricated and assembled. It was a successful project in ceiling and lightweight in terms of operator can save the costs.
