Over the last century, the automotive industry has seen enormous growth in the use of compressed air in the manufacturing assembly line. Compressed air became an integral part of the automotive industry as it ensured the safety of the workers and improved the overall efficiency of the manufacturing plant. Given the current technological developments, it is inconceivable to picture an automobile industry without an air compressor. Pneumatic tools are lighter than electric tools, making them the preferred choice of garage operators. Pneumatic tools help power the machines that lift, transport, position, and fasten the vehicle’s components. ELGi's air compressors for the automotive industry come with a value proposition that brings high efficiency, low maintenance cost, environment friendly products, and cost comparative solutions.
When it comes to sizing automotive compressors for an application, it is vital to understand the demand of each specific application and then deduce the model of the air compressor to be purchased.
ELGi offers a wide range of screw compressors, including the ELGi screw air compressor, articulated principally for the automotive industry, thus ensuring best-in-class reliability and ease of use with trouble-free operation. Additionally, ELGi also provides two-stage piston compressors that cater to the specific needs of the automotive sector, further enhancing efficiency and performance in various applications within the industry. The ELGi Screw Air Compressors and two stage piston compressors are designed for trouble-free operation, ensuring seamless integration into automotive applications.

USING AIR COMPRESSORS FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
The numerous technological advancements introduced in the automotive manufacturing industry have given rise to new uses of compressed air.
Varied applications of compressed air technology in the automotive industry include:
- Plasma cutting – As the compressed air is forced into the chamber containing a plasma electrode and a plasma cutting tip, an electric arc is struck between them. This arc “Plasma rises” the compressed air, making it electrically conductive, which then escapes the pressurised chamber via a small hole in the Plasma Cutting tip, taking the energy of the arc with it. The heat of the Plasma Arc melts the metal to be cut while the force of the air blows it away. ELGi’srotary screw air compressor comes with a six years warranty on the airend, thus promising the durability of the compressor.
- Air-operated robots – With the advancement in robotics, almost all of the strenuous work done earlier by humans is now carried out by air-operated robots. They are called air-operated because of the abundant use of pneumatic pistons on the arms of these robots. From picking heavyweights to tightening nuts and bolts, everything can be performed by the air-operated bots. Air compressors for auto shops offered by ELGi are perfectly suited to operate these machines in the automotive manufacturing industry.
- Tyre Inflation – Upon close observation at any gas station, an air compressor can be spotted. The air compressor used at gas stations fulfils the basic requirement of any car, which is the air in the tires. Compressors make tire inflation easy and help maintain the safety and reliability of your automobile.
- Automobile Finishing – Automotive finishing is one of the most important steps of auto manufacturing. The paint and clear coat serve as protective coatings to shield the vehicle from the external elements. Improper automobile finishing leads to the formation of thin films, dry spay, crater, bubble, and ripples, which further weakens the paint, and the automobile becomes vulnerable to rust and decay.
- Air Tools - Many garages are now shifting to air tools powered by compressed air, such as an air compressor for automotive tools, due to their increased efficiency compared to traditional electric-powered tools. One of the significant advantages of using pneumatic tools over electric tools is them being lightweight with lower operating costs.
