Electronic Air Processing Units
Engineered for optimized performance with less energy consumption
Key Facts
What can Electronic Air Processing Units provide?
Air processing solutions dry, clean, store and distribute the compressed air to enable proper system operation under all conditions. Electronic Air Processing Units (E-APUs) and Electronically Controlled Air Processing Units (EC-APUs) deliver extra fuel savings thanks to intelligent air compressor control.
