Where compressed air quality is of the utmost importance, ELGi's AB Series compressors will be the best solution as it offers pristine compressed air purity for the pharmaceutical sector, driving an industry that demands utmost product quality and regulatory compliance. ELGi also provides oil-free two-stage air compressors tailored for pharmaceutical applications. Our AB Series ensures contaminant-free compressed air for pharmaceutical manufacturing, packaging, filling, labs, operations, and clean, secure environments.

Electronics Industry

When running pneumatic equipment, automating systems, or cleaning electronic components, the electronics sector needs clean, dry pressurised air. The AB Series oil-free compressors' design guarantees that no oil particles will obstruct the production of delicate electronics. Even trace amounts of oil in the compressed air can contaminate these components, leading to malfunctions, reduced performance, and product failures. ELGi’s oil-free compressors eliminate this risk by delivering clean, oil-free compressed air.

Air Separation

In air separation procedures, preventing oil contamination is essential. the primary goal of oil-free compressed air is to separate and purify gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. AB Series oil-free air compressors supply oil-free compressed air for the compression, cooling, and purification stages.

Industrial Applications

The robust AB Series oil-free compressors can be used in a variety of common industrial applications that call for clean compressed air. This entails running pneumatic tools, painting, sandblasting, and other equipment with equipment longevity while minimising the risk of oil contamination.

From powering pneumatic tools and ensuring precise finishes in painting processes to maintaining sterile conditions in medical device manufacturing and meeting the stringent hygiene standards of the food industry, the ELGi AB Series compressors rise to the challenge. They provide a reliable source of compressed air that not only enhances efficiency but also safeguards product quality and equipment integrity. The oil-free air compressors by ELGi are designed to deliver reliable and contaminant-free compressed air, making them a great choice for a variety of applications in different sectors. It's important to take into account aspects like the necessary air pressure, flow rate, compressed air quality standards, and the unique requirements of each industry while choosing and installing the oil less air compressors.

We needed the highest quality of air, ensuring zero risk of oil contamination to meet our strict quality standards and an honest and trustworthy partner who assured ease of maintenance and the reliability of our compressed air systems. The latter is a critical factor when producing and bagging 40 different types of flour mixes, using around 22 varieties of grain and producing up to 350 tonnes per day.
