ELGi Equipments, one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, with two million installations across 100 countries, exhibited key innovations in compressed air solutions for various applications at Hannover Messe ComVac, which concluded in Hannover recently.
The highlight at the ELGi booth was the brand new AB Always Better air compressor series, a breakthrough in oil-free compressed air technology. ELGi also showcased Air Alert, an IoT (Internet of Things)-based, machine-monitoring platform.
Also on display were ELGi’s core products, such as the EN and EG Series – energy-efficient and highly reliable lubricated screw air compressors, oil-free screw air compressors, direct drive piston compressors, and heat recovery systems.
“Europe is an important market for ELGi with a well-established manufacturing sector. With increasing investments in the region, we are excited about the air compressor market opportunity and we will be investing in expanding our presence,” said Jairam Varadaraj, chief executive officer, ELGi Equipments.
“Additionally, high energy prices cause companies to move to energy-efficient compressor ranges, and we are confident our compressors offer customers maximum energy efficiency,” he added.
The global oil-free air compressor market, estimated to be worth $3 billion, is expected to grow significantly with increasing environmental and economic considerations.
Customers, however, incur significant ownership costs on account of the current technology’s sensitivity, considerable maintenance requirements and relatively poor reliability.
At the AB Series launch, Varadaraj emphasised, “With increasing air pollution concerns and stringent environmental regulations, oil-free air is a top priority. But companies have historically suffered the constraints of high cost, poor reliability, and low efficiency in order to have oil-free air.”
“At ELGi, we questioned this, connected the dots and developed a technology specifically applied to solving an existing need in a new way,” he added.
“The ELGi AB Always Better series is a disruption in oil-free compressed air technology, offering customers a no-compromise, oil-free solution at approximately 8–10 per cent reduced lifecycle costs when compared with prevailing oil-free technology,” Varadaraj said.
He added, “With significantly lower maintenance and ease of use, customers will also be assured of reliable, high air purity for sensitive industry applications.”
