Elgi Equipments one of the world’s leading air-compressor manufacturers, with 2 million installations across 100 countries, exhibited key innovations in compressed air solutions for varied requirements at ComVac, Hannover Messe, recently. The central launch at the ELGi stand Hall 26, C-12, was the AB ‘Always Better’ air compressor series, a breakthrough in oil free compressed air technology. ELGi also showcased Air-Alert, an IoT 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 and increasing investment in the region, we’re excited about the air compressor market opportunity and we will be investing in expanding our presence there. Additionally, high energy prices are causing companies to move to energy efficient compressor ranges and we’re confident our compressors offer customers maximum energy efficiency’ said Dr. Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director,ELGi Equipments.

Speaking at the AB Series launch, Dr. Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director, ELGi Equipments said “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 technology specifically applied to solving an existing need in a new way. 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 to 10 per cent reduced lifecycle costs when compared with prevailing oil free technology.”
