For your specific compressed air supply needs, we custom configure all necessary components such as air intake system, dryer, cooler, inverter, support frame, enclosure, etc.
- Operation from -50°C to +70°C (depending on the type)
- Flexible mounting positions for the units
Advanced Control for Optimal Compressed Air Supply
In modern rail technology, seamless interfaces and advanced control concepts are crucial for smooth operation. Together with you, we develop customized configuration concepts that seamlessly integrate into existing and new rail infrastructures, precisely tailored to your systems and requirements.
Interfaces and railway control concepts
Whether for trams, rail vehicles, or heavy-duty locomotives, Dürr Technik offers robust, proven compressors and oil-free compressor stations specifically designed for the railway sector. These compressed air supply systems can be adapted to various interfaces and railway control concepts and are in use worldwide on different train platforms.
Example of an individual main air system for rail vehicles
Our compressed air stations are meticulously designed to meet the unique requirements of each vehicle. By seamlessly integrating cooling units, drying systems, and advanced electrical and pneumatic controls, we deliver customized solutions that optimize performance and efficiency. The dual compressor configuration offers precise flow control and reduced wear. When minimal air is needed, only one compressor activates, conserving energy and extending component lifespan. Despite its power, our system operates remarkably quietly, minimizing noise pollution.
Our robust design ensures exceptional durability, even in the harshest conditions. Would you like to know more about specific components or applications?
