Air Compressor for Healthcare Industry

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 are highly recommended for hospital use as they provide class ‘0’ oil-free air as per ISO: 8573-1. ELGi delivers Class’ 0’ quality air. For AB Series, the water works in a closed-loop cooling circuit requiring no water top-up, thereby providing ease of use in everyday operations. For, the OF Series, the rotors are coated with a proprietary material to ensure zero contamination.

Air compressors for hospital use 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

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 medical grade air compressors come 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 instructionand specification.

USES OF THE MEDICAL AIR COMPRESSOR

Check out the applications of compressed air systems for hospitals below:

Oil-free screw and piston compressors are essential for maintaining hygienic and pure compressed air in the medical environments, avoiding contamination, and protecting patient safety.

Ventilators and incubators – A turbine takes in air at atmospheric pressure and compresses it in a compressor-based ventilator. This air compression delivers 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 handpieces used during dental treatments. Dental clinics prefer Oil-free air compressors as they are at par with the high hygiene criteria required. Regular examination of these compressors is strictly recommended to prevent compressed air contamination.

Oxygen concentrators – Oil-free medical 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.
