At ComVac, Elgi Equipments also showcased Air-Alert, an IoT-based machine monitoring platform.

Elgi Equipments, one of the world’s leading air-compressor manufacturers, with two million installations across 100 countries, exhibited key innovations in compressed air solutions for varied requirements at ComVac, Hannover Messe from the April 1-5, 2019. The central launch at the ELGi stand Hall 26, C-12, was the AB ‘Always Better’ air compressor series, a breakthrough in oil free compressed air technology. ELGi also showcased Air-Alert, an IoT-based machine monitoring platform. Also on display were ELGi’s core products such as the EN and EG Series – energy efficient and highly reliable lubricated screw air compressors, oil-free screw air compressors, direct drive piston compressors, and heat recovery systems.


“Europe is an important market for ELGi. With a well-established manufacturing sector and increasing investment in the region, we’re excited about the air compressor market opportunity and we will be investing in expanding our presence there. Additionally, high energy prices are causing companies to move to energy efficient compressor ranges and we’re confident our compressors offer customers maximum energy efficiency,” said Dr Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director, ELGi Equipments.


The global oil free air compressor market, estimated to be $3 billion is expected to grow significantly with increasing environmental and cost considerations. Customers however incur significant ownership costs on account of the current technology’s sensitivity, considerable maintenance requirements and relatively poor reliability. Speaking at the AB Series launch, Dr Varadaraj said, “With increasing air pollution concerns and stringent environmental regulations, oil free air is a top priority. But companies have historically suffered the constraints of high cost, poor reliability, and low efficiency in order to have oil free air. At ELGi, we questioned this, connected the dots and developed technology specifically applied to solving an existing need in a new way. The ELGi AB ‘Always Better’ series is a disruption in oil free compressed air technology, offering customers a no-compromise, oil free solution at approximately 8 to 10 per cent reduced lifecycle costs when compared with prevailing oil free technology. With significantly lower maintenance and ease of use, customers will also be assured of reliable, high air purity for sensitive industry applications.”


ELGi, is a pioneer in cutting edge compressed air technology with a presence across over a 100 countries, offering a complete range of compressed air solutions from oil-lubricated and oil-free rotary screw compressors, oil-lubricated and oil-free reciprocating compressors and centrifugal compressors to dryers, filters and downstream accessories. With state-of-the-art manufacturing units and a product portfolio of 400+ compressed air systems, ELGi redefines reliability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness across two million installations all over the world.
