21 Mar 2022

ELGi’s compressed air solution provides reliable compressed air as Boerschappen expands production at their new facility in Breda, the Netherlands.

Waterloo, Belgium, 22 March 2022: ELGi Compressors Europe, a subsidiary of ELGi Equipments Limited, one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, announced today that Boerschappen, an innovative, fair-trade food company in Breda, the Netherlands, selected an ELGi EN Series oil-lubricated screw air compressor for the packaging and boxing line in their newly expanded facility. Boerschappen provides over 10,000 customers with fresh, locally produced vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish directly from its network of 150 farmers.

Given the sensitive nature of food-related products, Boerschappen needed to enhance the speed of packaging fresh food while maintaining high safety and quality standards. After understanding Boerschappen’s production line and compressed air requirements, ELGi and distribution partner Techno Brabant suggested the EN Series screw air compressor as a reliable solution to meet Boerschappen’s growth plans.

“The advice and support we received from ELGi and their partner Techno Brabant proved to be a game-changer for us. We wanted to increase our efficiency by investing in our own compressed air production instead of relying on our existing system. As our business grows, we would certainly reach out to ELGi to support our expanding compressed air installation." said Bart Schoonebeek, Go Live & Fulfilment Manager at Boerschappen. “Reliability of our compressed air system is paramount for us, and ever since installation, we have experienced the flawless reliability of the ELGi EN2 unit. Whatsmore, ELGi and Techno Brabant carefully understood our requirements and delivered a solution that truly addresses our objectives.”

“We spent time with Boerschappen to understand not just their compressed air needs today, but also their business plans for the future, as well as other operational parameters, “ said Ivo Bolsius, Area Sales Manager at ELGi. “The ELGi EN Series air station packs a huge punch in a single package with a small footprint – incorporating an air compressor, dryer, and tank while being reliable and easily accessible for maintenance. It’s a common-sense solution where size, efficiency, and cost matter.”

ELGi's EN Series screw compressors are designed to encapsulate all functional components including the compressor within a common housing. With their small footprint, high reliability, and low maintenance requirements, the compressors are ideal for all industrial applications where size, efficiency, and cost matter. The EN Series is backed by ELGi’s industry-leading warranty, which includes a 6-year warranty on the airend and a 5-year warranty on the compressor package, including the motor and cooler.
