The railway sector requires high quality performance standards and high-quality compressed air, delivered continuously in extreme environmental situations, due to weather conditions and the vibrations to which rail vehicles are subjected.
Mattei’s rotary vane compressors offer undisputed advantages in pneumatic applications aboard rail vehicles.
The key to the high performance seen in Mattei compressors is in the unique deployment of rotary vane technology. The vane compressor consists of a rotor that rotates offset within a cylindrical stator. The rotor has longitudinal grooves, and within each groove runs one or more vanes. The compressor is directly connected to the motor by means of a flexible coupling. These grooves create highly efficient compression pockets.
Rotary vane technology, developed by Mattei, offers many advantages:
1. a compact, integrated design that allows installation in extremely small spaces;
2. minimal maintenance, as there are no wearable materials such as thrust bearings that force screw systems to be frequently overhauled and replaced;
3. longer life and higher performance for the same power, as Mattei compressors are not affected by temperatures, external environmental situations, and no vibrations since they are self-balancing as they rotate on just two bushes and, connect the motor directly to the compressor via a flexible coupling. Mattei’s industrial compressors have a recorded service life of more than 200,000 hours without the need for an airend overhaul. In the rail sector, it is common to have more than 35,000 hours of operation, while the average lifetime of a screw compressor airend is 12,000 hours;
4. 15 % greater energy savings than rotary compressors of the same capacity, thanks to optimized design and low rotational speed;
In summary, vane compressors perform better and have the lowest life cycle cost of any compressor.
Mattei successfully attained the IRIS certification and offers an excellent after-sales service that is present in more than 40 countries worldwide.
To ensure performance, durability and extend operating life with a constant level of performance, reliability, and safety, Mattei has designed customized service kits for each compressor with lubricants, filters, separators, and consumable materials.

Mattei offers a wide range of vane compressor models that perfectly meet the specific needs of the transport industry.
The reliability of Mattei compressors, the high quality standards of the delivered compressed air and the compliance with the industry regulations, make them ideal to be used in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.
Reduced operating costs, environmental sustainability and extreme purity of the air supplied make Mattei compressors suitable for all processes in the food industry.
All you need is an oil quality sensor and SIM card within the control panel to have real-time access to the health of your rotary vane compressor from anywhere in the world.
Maxima 75 and Optima 60 compressors are used in China in the production of bottle tops for the Italian brand Pelliconi, where the exclusive Maxi P-26 is produced.
The company was recognised at the Le Fonti Innovation Awards for its commitment to combining both environmental sustainability and energy saving.
Mattei compressors have landed at the extremes of the southern hemisphere and contribute to the quality of one of South Africa’s best coffees, those of the TriBeCa Coffee brand.
All the pneumatic equipment at the French plant of the world leader in steam technology and thermal energy management are powered by Mattei compressors. Reliability and efficiency are the main reasons for the continued success of this partnership.
Compressed air is vital for industry as it drives many production facilities and pieces of equipment. Its use is responsible for more than 10% of industrial energy consumption, meaning the choice of compressor becomes essential when looking to maintain control of energy costs. The English company Luxfer Gas Cylinders is an excellent example of obtaining efficiency in this regard.
