HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS

Explore an ecological future

Electric vehicles are gaining momentum around the world , with more and more major cities increasingly switching to electric buses for public transport . The global Dürr Technik Group devotes itself to all aspects of “ e-mobility ” and has developed oil-free compressors that are powered by their own electric motor ( s ). These compressors offer energy savings with fewer pollutants in the “ Automotive ” sector .
For vehicles over 3.5 tons , a reliable and robust compressed air supply is essential - for applications ranging from brake release air to door opening to air suspension . Instead of mechanically connecting the existing compressors with the vehicle engine in a conventional manner , the newly developed and efficient Dürr Technik compressors have their own electric motor ( s ). These are extremely environmentally friendly , run independently of the vehicle engine and only draw power when needed , meaning the a very low energy consumption .
The compressors that we manufacture are oil-free meaning oil control or oil changes are a thing of the past . Coupled with their compact and robust design , very low noise / vibration , low whole life costs , ease of installation and the fact that they are almost completely maintenance free , they can be installed into many positions within the vehicles that would have been impossible in the past . Depending on the product selected our compressors can achieve temperature ranges of between -40 and + 40OC and can be operated with a duty cycle of 100 percent .
The compressor B-304 WR from Dürr Technik is especially suitable for vehicles with a total mass of up to 13.5 tonnes . With a centralised air intake system , this allows flexibility of installation to suit the manufacturers requirements .
For vehicles over 13.5 Tonnes , the E-Bull-300 from Dürr Technik is the ideal choice . At 400 V and 50 Hz , the compressor delivers 280 l / min at 10 bar - at a sound pressure level of 72 dB ( A ), similar to a vacuum cleaner . With the E-Bull-300 weighing in at only 45 kg , with dimensions of 474 x 286 x 496mm and an IP67 rating it is suitable for all types of vehicle . In addition , Dürr Technik can make individual adjustments to suit specific customer requirements . Durr Technik pride themselves by offering complete solutions with dryers , after coolers , ambient cooling fans , support brackets and enclosures as required .
