ELGi also offers a range of air compressors that are specially designed and engineered for the railway industry which Integrated Air Solutions is looking to introduce to the local market. These top quality machines, which include compressors suitable for diesel and electric locomotives, supply air for a variety of applications including the powering of braking systems and the positioning of pantographs on the roofs of electric trains. "Globally renowned for their robustness and reliability, these compressors are designed to meet the harsh conditions typical of the rail environment," states Integrated Air Solutions Managing Director, Wayne Jacobs. "Compressors fitted on the under carriage for example, have to be particularly rugged in order to withstand punishing conditions such as high temperatures, vibration and dust."
