Industries & applications

Compressed air is used throughout the railway sector. Inline filters are vital for ensuring safety for passengers and avoiding downtime. By keeping the air dry and free of contaminants, the filters help protect key components and keep operations running smoothly.

Braking systems

Compressed air is critical for railway braking systems and needs to be free of contaminants, like moisture, particulates and oil, to function correctly. Our inline filters keep the compressed air in braking systems clean, protecting the air lines from complications and system failure. This is especially important in winter, when moisture can freeze and block the system.

Door operation

The railway sector relies on compressed air to open and close doors. Our inline filters ensure the air is clean and free of contaminants, preventing blockages and preventing inoperation. This ensures smooth control and reduces downtime by preventing maintenance across carriages.

Suspension systems

Compressed air is needed to stabilise trains, keeping them level for passenger safety and comfort. To ensure the air is stable and consistent, filtration is used to intercept and trap any moisture, metallic particulates, pipe scale and debris. Through this protection, clogging is prevented, ensuring consistent suspension system performance.

Inline filters and other filtration solutions from Tiger Filtration ensure a clean, dry air supply to pantograph control systems. They remove moisture, oil and particulates that can affect pressure regulation. These filters help maintain performance and reliable contact with overhead electrical lines.
