VARIED APPLICATIONS OF COMPRESSED AIR TECHNOLOGY IN THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY INCLUDE
Water Pumps – Water is essential to crops, livestock, and sustainable pastures. Sometimes, compressed air is needed to bring this vital resource to specific areas to optimise growth. By ensuring less downtime and longevity with your compressor, you provide your livestock and crops with this essential ingredient for life.
Crop Sprayers – Many crop sprayers in agriculture operations rely on compressed air, and a dependable agriculture compressor is vital for the daily functions of your farm. These automated crop sprayers, designed for efficiency in pesticide and fertiliser application, demand a substantial amount of air, making the role of an agriculture compressor integral to the seamless and effective management of crop health.
Product Conveyors/Pneumatic Material Handling Machines – Many product conveyors utilise compressed air. Pneumatic material handling machines are common in the food industry, requiring a steady supply of compressed air to function correctly. ELGi’s agriculture compressors are perfect for such operations as they are designed for both irregular and continuous use.
Dairy Machines – Like many automated agricultural machines that utilise a large amount of compressed air, dairy machines require air compressors too. ELGi compressors are designed to handle the continuous and demanding requirements of dairy farms of all sizes. Energy efficiency, in addition to reliability, is what makes our compressors the preferred choice for the dairy industry.
Tractors and Vehicle Tires – One of the most common uses of an air compressor on a farm is to inflate tractors and other vehicles’ tires on your farm. Whether you need to inflate your tires quickly for the transport of hay or to move livestock over a large piece of land, a portable air compressor can be a vital component to your farm. Compressors make this task easy and will help maintain safety and reliability on your farm.
Greenhouse Ventilation – For some growers, ensuring clean air and proper ventilation for their industrial greenhouses can be a challenge that is solved with compressed air. High energy efficiency is desirable for long-term use to maximise the economic benefits of utilising compressed air for ventilation. ELGi air compressors are built for the challenge and will last for years.
Silos – Agriculture Compressors can be used to power systems that transport excess grain and food into silos for storage.
Winterisation of Irrigation Lines – During winters, weather can impede irrigation lines. Farmers can utilise compressed air to clear irrigation lines of excess water to prepare for winter. Not only does it save on costly repairs, but it can also be used to protect and add longevity to vital infrastructure that will last for years.
