On start-up of the locomotive the pantograph has to be raised to make contact with the overhead power line. An oilfree compressor station provides the auxiliary compressed air supply. A range of DC-compressors with a variety of voltages is available.
In order to reduce braking distances sand is sprayed between the wheels and track. Our oilfree compressor technology used in this application guarantee long lifetime at minimum life cycle costs (LCC).
To minimise tram wheel abrasion, a suitable amount of grease is sprayed between the wheel flange and track with compressed air. This lubrication also assists in the reduction of screeching from the tram wheels. Reliable oilfree compressors from the KK15 series are preferred for this application.
