Jul 23, 2007
Hydrovane Transit will deliver tailor-made turnkey engineering solutions for the rail and transit sectors, providing high-quality compressed air for brake, door operation and pneumatic suspension.
Hydrovane's new division, Hydrovane Transit, will focus solely on producing bespoke solutions for the rail and transit sectors with a new specialist team dedicated to managing compressed air installations from initial concept through to completion.
Drawing on Hydrovane's 60 years experience in the compressed air industry, Hydrovane Transit will deliver tailor-made turnkey engineering solutions for this specialist market providing high-quality compressed air for brake, door operation and pneumatic suspension.
The Hydrovane Transit project team will work with customers from the initial concept, designing and building prototype models to ensure they precisely match requirement, through to installation and aftercare.
With over 50 years industry experience within the team, customers will benefit from an in-depth knowledge and clear understanding of the demands placed on compressors working in transit applications.
The end result is a total compressor package designated Air System Module (ASM) that can operate throughout a wide temperature range and withstand the dusty conditions experienced beneath a train.
The ASM's operate with minimal noise and vibration combined with extreme lightweight.
All ASMs are designed to meet stringent industry requirements including the Rail Group Standards.
Mike Horner, Business Development Manager from Hydrovane said: "As part of CompAir, Hydrovane Transit offers customers technical expertise backed by high-quality UK manufactured products that deliver on performance and value".
"The Transit division works on a 'design for customer' basis so each module is precisely tailored to each application and every installation is different".
" As part of the bespoke engineering process we have designed systems that ensure the air supply is consistently clean and condensate-free with no fall off in performance".
Hydrovane offers a full training programme for operators and service engineers to back up the installed ASM's complimented by a range of specialised service kits and lubricants.
The aftercare products and service schedules have been formulated to take account of the arduous conditions experienced in the transit industry make servicing both quick and easy maintaining compressor reliability.
