Frequently asked questions
Is there an ATEX version?
Yes, with temperature class 3 and integrated cell ventilation.
Plasma-nitrided or ceramic-coated?
Both housing variants protect against wear and corrosion. Which one suits better depends on the medium being sucked; we will be glad to advise you.
How is the compressor driven?
Depending on the vehicle, via power take-off and cardan shaft, V-belt or hydraulic motor. We work out with you and the body builder which drive is right.
Who supplies, installs and maintains it?
We do. As CVS representative, we supply compressors and vacuum pumps, advise on installation in the vehicle and take care of maintenance and repairs.
