Using Air Compressors in Agriculture and Farming

Demand for food and other agricultural products is increasing with rapid growth in population, urbanization, and per capita income. The substantial increase in total agricultural production can be attributed to the advent of new technologies, innovations, and process improvements in the farm sector. Today, A farm needs compressors for a range of requirements including digging borewell, powering pneumatic tools, irrigating fields, cleaning or sorting to produce. Now with technological advancements, air compressors have become more efficient and easier to use.

In the agricultural industry, many of the machines and day-to-day operations utilize air compressors for a continuous or intermittent supply of clean, pressurized air. This industry has a strong need for on-demand compressed air and compressors that have high longevity where ELGi's rotary screw compressors can help. Water pumps, crop sprayers, tractors, conveyors, pneumatic handling material machines and even dairy machines requires compressed air. This makes a reliable air compressor a vital and critical component to a successful farm.

Varied applications of compressed air technology in agricultural industry includes:

Water Pumps – Water is essential to crops, livestock and sustainable pastures. Sometimes compressed air is needed to bring this vital resource to specific areas to optimize growth. By ensuring less downtime and longevity with your compressor, you ensure your livestock and crops have this essential ingredient for life.
Crop Sprayers – Many crop sprayers utilize compressed air, and a reliable compressor is essential in the daily operations of your farm. These types of automated crop sprayers require a large amount of air.
Product Conveyors/Pneumatic Material Handling Machines – Many product conveyors utilize compressed air. Pneumatic material handling machines are common in the food industry and they require a steady supply of compressed air to function properly. ELGi air compressors are perfect for such operations as they are designed for both irregular and continuous use.
Dairy Machines – Like many automated agricultural machines that utilize a large amount of compressed air, dairy machines require air compressors too. ELGi compressors are designed to handle the continuous and demanding requirements for dairy farms of all sizes. Energy efficiency, in addition to reliability, is what makes our compressors the preferred choice for the dairy industry.
Tractors and Vehicle Tires - One of the most common uses of an air compressor on a farm is to inflate tractors and other vehicles’ tires on your farm. Whether you need to inflate your tires quickly for the transport of hay or to move livestock over a large piece of land a portable air compressor can be a vital component to your farm. Compressors make this task easy and will help maintain safety and reliability on your farm equipment.
Greenhouse Ventilation – For some growers, ensuring clean air and proper ventilation for their industrial greenhouses can be a challenge that is solved with compressed air. For long-term use, high energy efficiency is desirable so as to maximize the economic benefits of utilizing compressed air for ventilation. ELGi air compressors are built for the challenge and will last for years.
Silos – Compressors can be used to power systems that transport excess grain and food into silos for storage.
During winters, weather can impede irrigation lines. Farmers can utilize compressed air to clear irrigation lines of excess water in order to prepare for winter. Not only does it save on costly repairs, but it can also be used to protect and add longevity to vital infrastructure that will last for years to come.
