ELGi’s Product Range Designed for Chemical Manufacturing Applications

While there are many different applications in the chemical manufacturing industry, a majority of these applications require oil-free compressed air to avoid contamination across the manufacturing operations.

ELGi offers a comprehensive range of oil-free rotary screw compressors specifically for chemical manufacturing applications. Our ELGi OF Series oil-free screw compressors boast advanced technological features such as two stage compressors, state-of-the-art airends, precision-engineered rotors, and intelligent control systems. These features ensure oil-free and contaminant-free compressed air and optimise energy efficiency while reducing maintenance downtime.

Furthermore, our water-injected AB Series oil-free air compressors combine cutting-edge water-injection technology with innovative airend designs. This technology delivers oil-free compressed air, enhances cooling efficiency, prolongs component life, and reduces overall operating costs. The AB Series water-injected screw compressor is designed to meet the stringent demands of chemical manufacturing, providing reliable performance while minimising environmental impact.

OF Series

Advanced Airend Technology

The innovative η-V rotor design minimises pressure losses and enhances stage efficiency, resulting in a more efficient compressed air system. Combined with a lower gear ratio in the airend, it ensures reliability and reduces maintenance requirements.

Durable Construction

The OF Series is built for long-term stability and reduced wear and tear. Its rigid stainless-steel tubes and special bearings are optimised for 2 stage compressor speeds and temperatures.

Efficient Temperature Control

Available in water cooled compressor and air-cooled compressor models, the OF Series is optimised for efficient operation across temperatures and conditions, with a focus on maintaining optimal performance and reliability.

Proprietary Cooling Technology

The series features coolers with a water-in-tube system designed for temperature differences of up to 8°C, ensuring the lowest fouling factor and highest thermal efficiency among other two stage compressors.

Cutting-Edge Sealing Mechanisms

The OF Series incorporates non-contact type Visco seals made of bronze and carbon-impregnated stainless steel floating seals, offering superior protection against oil entry into the compression chamber.

Precision-Engineered Gears

The helical gears are ground to DIM 4 quality and case-hardened to minimise transmission losses and noise during operation. They are also dynamically balanced to reduce vibrations, optimise loads on bearings, and extend bearing life.

AB Series

Class-0 Certified as Per ISO8573-1:2010

The AB Series comes with a food-grade approved aluminium housing, preventing microbiological contamination. The pipes have special e-coating which ensures consistently clean and oil-free compressed air along with optimised rotor clearances which ensures consistent compressed air delivery.

Viable Microbiological Content Complying with ISO8573-7:2003

These compressors discharge air with no microbiological contaminant, complying with ISO 8573-7 standards.

Pure Water Quality

The AB Series has a closed-loop water circuit, eliminating the need for a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. This reduces power and maintenance costs for our customers and ensures pure water quality.

Corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel Rotors

ELGi machines use FDA-approved stainless steel with a proprietary coating, which eliminates any chances of corrosion.

Compact, Air-cooled Package

The AB Series includes an integrated fan motor assembly with significantly low power consumption that maintains a low temperature, increases motor life, and incorporates a smart cooling system design for easy maintenance and ducting.

Lower Maintenance Cost

The efficient rotors with best-in-class performance, single-stage operation, low operation speed, and application-oriented design of oil-free screw air compressors, lower overall maintenance.

Advanced Moisture Separation Technology for Optimal Compressed Air Quality
