From facility operation to patient care, hospitals rely on air compressor systems. Air compressors for hospitals must be free of contamination and particles, have no oil or odours, and must be dry to prevent water buildup in the facility’s pipeline. ELGi’s range of oil-free screw air compressors is highly recommended for hospital use as they provide class ‘0’ oil-free air as per ISO: 8573-1. ELGi delivers Class’ 0’ quality air. At the same time, the water in the closed circuit is insulated with a proprietary material to ensure zero contamination, working on a closed-loop cooling circuit with no water top-up, thereby providing ease of use in everyday operations.
Air compressors for hospitals often account for a sizable chunk of a hospital’s expenses. Justifiably, the primary goal of system operators is to cut down the maintenance cost without compromising the efficiency of the air compressor used for medical use. ELGi’s oil-free screw air compressor offers the best reliability with a low cost of ownership for hospital use.
CLASS 0 OIL FREE AIR
ELGi is one of the few compressor companies to design and manufacture oil-free airends. The compressors are engineered to deliver maximum uptime and reliability with in-house oil-free technology.
BETTER RELIABILITY WITH LOW MAINTENANCE COST
ELGi’s range of oil-free air compressors comes with efficient rotors with best-in-class performance, single-stage operation, and low operation speed, ensuring low maintenance cost and high energy saving with better reliability and noise-free operation.
BEST-IN-CLASS WARRANTY
ELGi’s range of air compressors comes with Uptime Assurance, which is all about giving customers peace of mind by offering the industry’s leading warranty, which warrants that its products and the components for its products will perform the purpose and function for which they are designed and intended for the periods indicated when used, serviced and maintained following ELGi’s instruction and specification.
USES OF THE MEDICAL AIR COMPRESSOR
Varied applications of compressed air systems for hospitals include:
Ventilators and incubators – A turbine takes in air at atmospheric pressure and compresses it in a compressor-based ventilator. This air compressor delivers the pressure to the respiratory circuit. Additional pressure is developed in case some amount of oxygen is used. The air compressors used for ventilators at hospitals are oil-free air compressors as they provide class 0 oil.
Dental - Air Compressors are the most crucial equipment used during dental surgery. An air compressor is used to clean and power hand pieces used during dental treatments. Dental clinics prefer Oil-free air compressors as they are at par with the high degree of hygienic criteria required. Regular examination of these compressors is strictly recommended to prevent compressed air contamination.
Oxygen concentrators – Oil-free air compressors are commonly used in medical applications, including oxygen concentrators, where the purity of the compressed air is crucial. Oil free air compressors for oxygen concentrators eliminate the risk of oil contamination in the air, ensuring a clean and safe supply of compressed air.
Maintenance - Air compressors are used for cleaning and maintenance purposes in most industries. Similar is the case regarding maintenance of equipment used in the healthcare industry.
Wheel chairs - ELGi air compressors are used in the manufacturing of wheels of wheelchairs.
