OTHER MACHINERY| UTILITY
with MDVN32B | MDVN32E
"operational flexibility"
"sustainable electrification"
"solves genuine problems encountered on construction sites"
The MDVN 32E was developed to supply compressed air on construction sites without needing internal combustion engines: it can therefore operate where diesel engines are forbidden. Nevertheless, a Stage V 4o HP petrol engine can also be mounted on the same chassis and bodywork capable of delivering 3200 l/min at a constant 7 bar. Such power, for a diesel engine, could only be achieved with an electronically managed, common rail engine with post-treatment exhaust gas.
