06 Jun 2019
Coimbatore, India, June 6th, 2019: ELGi Equipments (BSE: 522074 NSE: ELGIEQUIP) one of the world’s leading air-compressor manufacturers, with over 2 million installations across 100 countries, reaffirmed its commitment to building customer centric, energy efficient compressed air solutions at INTEC 2019. A platinum sponsor at INTEC, ELGi showcased an upgraded range of Encapsulated (ENCAP/EN) screw air compressors with variable frequency drives (VFD) and heat recovery systems at the ELGi stand no. 2, Hall B.
As part of the exhibit, ELGi also displayed its range of EG Series screw air compressors and direct drive piston compressors. INTEC, the much awaited exhibition highlighting technological advancements in the manufacturing industry expects to witness wide global participation with over a 100 thousand business visitors, 626 exhibitors and 200 product categories on display.
“Energy accounts for almost 75 – 80% of the lifecycle cost of an air compressor. Across the world, business owners are increasingly faced with not just the rising costs of fuel, but global concerns about the environment and air quality. At ELGi, we’ve made a commitment to every customer across the globe - our compressors offer maximum energy efficiency and sustainable advantages from a total cost of ownership perspective” said Dr. Jairam
Varadaraj, Managing Director, ELGi Equipments.
The new range of Encapsulated (ENCAP/EN) screw air compressors address a customer’s varying air flow demands with high energy efficiency. The EN VFD optimizes air flow by varying the motor speed of the compressor according to air demand, thus saving energy costs unlike that of fixed speed compressors. The EN series models also come equipped with smart controllers that monitor, control and protect the compressor from failures by shutting down the compressor whenever necessary. The ELGi heat recovery system (HRS) helps companies recover approximately 96% of heat generated during the compression process which can then be utilized for heating air (space) or water. This in turn eliminates additional equipment requirements to heat water or air, thereby becoming an energy saving device
and contributing to a reduction in CO2 emissions.
Speaking at the product launch, Dr. Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director, ELGi Equipments said ‘’Improved energy efficiency begins with understanding the customer. At ELGi we’re committed to ensuring we right-size every customer for their compressed air requirements. Our sales teams the world over study customer applications and recommend
the right size of compressor for maximum energy efficiency.”
Mr. S. Ravi, Chairman & Managing Director, Craftsman Automation, an ELGi customer for over 15 years said “ELGi powers our plants across India and ELGi’s screw air compressors have not just enabled significant energy savings but also delivered best-inclass life cycle cost. The uptime warranty offered by ELGi has helped us improve productivity and profitability at all of our units. We look forward to our continued association and we wish ELGi the very best always”.
