ELGi’s Oil free, fuel-efficient compressed air powers the pharmaceutical industry

24 Oct 2018

Exhibits state-of-the art air compressor range at the 9th edition of Pharmac India 2018

Ahmedabad, India October 24th, 2018: Elgi Equipments (BSE: 522074 NSE: ELGIEQUIP), one of the world’s leading air-compressor manufacturers will display its state-of-the art range of air-compressors at stall number A 05 at the 9th Edition of Pharmac India 2018. The exhibition, scheduled to be held from the 25th to the 27th of October will witness over 150 exhibitors and over 5,500 visitors from the pharmaceutical industry.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry has grown exponentially from approximately US $2 million in 1948 to about US $21 billion today, at a growth rate of over 15%. The compressed air used in pharmaceutical manufacturing must be free of microbial contamination and oil in micronising operations. In some applications pure oxygen or nitrogen may be required and the moisture content of the air should be below a specified level, such as 50 ppm. Elgi offers a wide range these requirements. This includes lubricated compressors with a combination of driers and filters, as well as oil-free compressors (up to 2500 cfm). ELGi’s oil free screw compressors offer oil-free air that adhere to the ISO 8573 Class “0” certification, a wide operating temperature range (-5 deg to +50 deg Celsius) and a quicker return on investment with increased reliability and energy efficiency across pharmaceutical installations.

Ramesh Ponnuswami, Executive Director, ELGi Equipments says, “In India, there is a growing focus on the quality standards in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. Compressed air is used in the production of many healthcare industry products and also the delivery of healthcare to patients. At ELGi, our core focus is to create world-class products that will ensure high efficiency and eliminate air contamination completely. Some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies are our customers today and this stands testimonial to our innovation and focus on building highly energy efficient compressors, the best in the world.”

In 2013, ELGi acquired Pattons Inc, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Pattons Medical, a division of Pattons Inc is primarily engaged in the business of producing high quality medical air products which include compressors, vacuum systems, pipelines and the control elements, used in hospitals to deliver high quality air and gas to patients. ELGi is currently the number 2 player in the USA in the medical air market.
