Keeping quiet and saving fuel costs

Plugging in an E-Air
Jähnig GmbH Felssicherung is a specialist when it comes to rock stabilization projects in challenging conditions. The fragile surroundings require the company to keep noise to an absolute minimum and an electric E-Air VSD compressor does just that. At the same time, the compressor is plugged into an existing power supply, so Jähnig avoids costly diesel top-ups as well as exhaust gases. The project has taken 8 months to complete, so those fuel and emission savings are mounting up

Adjustable pressure for flexible compressed air

Plugging in an E-Air
Jähnig uses their compressor to drill the special anchors and press special suspensions to keep the rocks in place. These drilling operations require various pressure settings, which is right up to alley of the E-Air VSD compressor. PACE technology allows the operator to digitally choose a specific pressure, that matches the pneumatic tool. Soon the Bastei bridge viewpoint platform can reopen to tourists from all over the world, and the fauna and flora will remain undisturbed, thanks to the expertise of Jähnig GmbH Felssicherung and their choice for electric equipment.
