Specifically designed for the rugged and harsh\r\nconditions which are typically seen in the Australian mining industry, ELGi\u2019s range\r\nincludes electric and diesel-powered air compressors, which meet the requirements of all\r\nsurface and underground pneumatic applications on a mine site. In addition, all of ELGi\u2019s\r\nair compressors for the mining industry are designed to maximise operational efficiency\r\nand offer a greater return on investment, with a reduced cost of ownership.<\/p>\r\n      <\/aside>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!--\r\n<section class=\"receip-block\">\r\n  <div class=\"container-fluid\">\r\n    <div class=\"row\">\r\n      <aside class=\"col-md-12\">\r\n        <h4>DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY AIR<\/h4>\r\n        <p>ELGi\u2019s range of air compressors is well-tested on various parameters to ensure zero defects and designed according to the international quality standards to provide high-quality air for seamless mining operations.<\/p>\r\n        <h4>STATE OF THE ART SAFETY<\/h4>\r\n        <p>ELGi's range of air compressors comes with a native designed Neuron control system that offers operating data and safety measures. These compressors adhere to modern mining processes with improved production and safety throughout all aspects of mining.<\/p>\r\n        <h4>BEST-IN-CLASS ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RELIABILITY<\/h4>\r\n        <p>ELGi\u2019s range of air compressors is recommended for the mining industry for its best-in-class reliability on demanding work sites, along with auto high drill mode for operating at great depths and high productivity even in water-yield conditions. The industrial-grade steel and powder-coated canopy provide maximum corrosion protection and durability. The trolley-mounted-compressors and skid-mounted-compressors, along with custom-built models based on user preferences, maximize the operational efficiency and profitability for the user.<\/p>\r\n      <\/aside>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n-->\r\n<section class=\"receip-block\">\r\n  <div class=\"container-fluid\">\r\n    <div class=\"row\">\r\n      <aside class=\"col-md-12\">\r\n        <h2 style=\"text-transform: uppercase;margin: 0 0 10px 0;padding: 0;font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;font-size: 42px;font-weight: 700;font-style: normal;letter-spacing: 3px;display: block;position: relative;\">APPLICATIONS<\/h2>\r\n        <p>From surface mining to underground mining, there are many applications within the mining industry that require a reliable and efficient source of compressed air. Below are just some of the applications.<\/p>\r\n        <h2 style=\"text-transform: uppercase;margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;padding: 0;font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;font-size: 24px;font-weight: 600;font-style: normal;letter-spacing: 0;display: block;position: relative;\">MINING INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE COMPRESSED AIR<\/h2>\r\n        <h4 style=\"color: #ee3124;margin-bottom: 5px;text-transform: none;\">Pneumatic Tools<\/h4>\r\n        <p>Power tools such as drills, wrenches, and hack saws all depend on a reliable supply of compressed air, along with other vital mining equipment that is used in the deep underground stretches of mines.<\/p>\r\n        <h4 style=\"color: #ee3124;margin-bottom: 5px;text-transform: none;\">Blasting<\/h4>\r\n        <p>Compressed air systems offer safer mediums for use in blasting operations. High velocity compressed air streams can be vital in some mining situations.<\/p>\r\n        <h4 style=\"color: #ee3124;margin-bottom: 5px;text-transform: none;\">Material Handling<\/h4>\r\n        <p>Material like coal dust can be better handled when mixed with compressed air, allowing for  fluidisation. In addition, compressed air is used in conveying material in mining as well.<\/p>\r\n        <h4 style=\"color: #ee3124;margin-bottom: 5px;text-transform: none;\">Cleaning<\/h4>\r\n        <p>Compressed air is also used for purging unwanted particles from filters and other spaces amid the dirt and dust from the mining operation. It is a clean source of air and can be used effectively without additional cleaning materials. This helps extend the longevity of critical mining equipment and reduces any downtime needed for maintenance.<\/p>\r\n        <h4 style=\"color: #ee3124;margin-bottom: 5px;text-transform: none;\">Ventilation Systems<\/h4>\r\n        <p>Compressed air has a long history of providing ventilation to deep mine tunnels. It is a safe and breathable source of air used in hazardous mining environments. In addition, displacement blowers can also utilise  compressed air systems for ventilation. In coal mining, for example, displacement blowers are used to provide air ventilation to the mining sites.<\/p>\r\n        <h4 style=\"color: #ee3124;margin-bottom: 5px;text-transform: none;\">Methane Gas Extraction<\/h4>\r\n        <p>Methane gas build-up in a mine can be lethal. The risk of a static electric spark igniting methane and breathing the gas are both dangers for miners. To combat this situation, compressed air systems adequately fitted and designed for use in dangerous environments can help extract the gas through blowers and vacuum pumps for coal mining operations.<\/p>\r\n      <\/aside>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<section class=\"receip-block bg-white text-center pb-3\">\r\n  <div class=\"container-fluid\">\r\n    <div class=\"row\">\r\n      <aside class=\"col-md-12\">\r\n        <h2 class=\"pb-2\">AIR COMPRESSORS SUITABLE FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY<\/h2>\r\n        <p>ELGi oil-lubricated rotary screw air  compressors have been designed to operate in temperatures up to 50<sup>o<\/sup>C.
