Main air
Each train has its own special features with specific requirements. Therefore, our product range offers you all options - from the proven main air compressor with belt drive to the technical high-end solution.
to the durable Marathon B-304WR
to the especially low-noise E-Bull-300
to the compact, particularly vibration-free MC series
Auxiliary air
Some railway vehicles, such as trams, use a hydraulic brake instead of a pneumatic one. For this reason, smaller auxiliary air compressors are required for all pneumatic applications such as sanding or wheel flange lubrication.
Individual Air Supply Systems for rail vehicles
With a wide range of innovative and economical piston compressors, Dürr Technik offers customized solutions for the specific requirements of international manufacturers and operators of rail vehicles. We configure your individual compressed air solution according to your specifications.
