Vimodrone (Milan), September 2018 – It took place in Berlin the 2018 edition of InnoTrans, the exhibition dedicated to technologies for transport, where Mattei focused a lot on rail transport.
The railway is, in fact, one of the sectors in which the company is investing more to renew its range of machines, and focus on their unique features, primely being their compactness and the near-silent operations.
On show was the new RVR (Rotary Vane Rail) line, for compressed air demands on the railways, such as for trains, trams and metros. The RVR line, an evolution of the previous RVM, introduces improvements and technical measures aimed at increasing the performance of the machines.
The low rotation speeds and the reduced number of moving parts leave the Mattei compressors free from vibrations, and therefore extremely quiet; characteristics which are even more appreciated on the latest generation of hybrid and electric eco-vehicles, where silent running is a fundamental attribute. Another important feature is their energy efficiency, which guarantees a longer operating range.
At Innotrans, there was also space for the APM300 unit (Automotive People Mover), used on passenger shuttles in airport transfers, and for a unit specially designed for installation on the metros.
Mattei meets the needs of all parts of the railway sector, including offering on-board solutions as well as a series of OEM industrial compressors for handling movements of goods in depots.
