Applications

Air compressors used in a variety of transportation applications, including trains, trams, subways, hybrid buses, electric buses, and others. With an emphasis on reducing energy consumption and a shift to more sustainable forms of energy, the use of electric compressors with on-demand control systems is increasing. The vane compressor is ideal for new and retrofit transportation applications because it is an integrated unit providing "plug and play" capabilities.

Compressed air also used for braking systems, suspension systems, door handling, platform levelling systems, pantograph, wipers and cylinders. Transportation is moving in the direction of electric vans and trucks, which require electric compressors to provide air for braking and suspension systems.

Dry Bulk Cargo

United offers a variety of compressors and blowers for the best speed and safest way to load and unload. To remove the dry granular materials from the container truck by air is the most effective and economical method of material transportation. The particle size may vary significantly from other unloading conditions.

Other factors affecting the right choice include the layout of the tanker, the cost of fuel and the characteristics of the unloading location. A variety of machines can use under low or high pressure to remove all materials at optimum rates from powders (cement, flour and lime), minute particles (sugar, sand and salt), particles (plastic and sand), and irregularly shaped materials (animal feed and mining materials).
