ELGi Launches Game Changing Warranty Programme
27 Nov 2020
Committed to ensuring zero downtime and maximum efficiency for every customer
Waterloo, Belgium, 27 November 2020: ELGi Compressors Europe, a subsidiary of ELGi Equipments Limited, one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, introduced today one of the industry’s most extensive standard warranty programmes covering the EG and EN ranges of oil lubricated screw air compressors as well as the AB Series of oil free air compressors. This introduction is in line with ELGi’s commitment to being ‘Always Better’ and ‘Always being the choice everywhere’.
Across Europe, most warranty programmes available have several limitations. For example the standard warranty for new units typically span just 12 months, and extensions often comprise of exceedingly complex terms and clauses for the customer to navigate. To address these challenges, ELGi Europe has introduced a simplified and extended standard warranty package, the highlights of which are listed below:
The EG Series, oil lubricated screw air compressors (11 – 250KW)
10 years warranty on the airend.
The EN Series, oil lubricated encapsulated screw air compressors (2.2 – 45KW)
6 years warranty on the airend.
The AB Series oil free screw air compressors (37 – 90KW)
5 years warranty on the airend.
For all remaining parts of the EG, EN and AB Series
5 year warranty on the compressor package including the motor and cooler.
3 years on the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for the VFD versions.
1 year on all other electrical and rubber parts.
David De Pril, Head of Product Management and Marketing, ELGi Europe, said “Our definition of being ‘Always Better’ is closely coupled with us always being the customer’s choice. One of the ways we do this is by reaffirming our commitment to reliability by providing our customers with market leading warranty programs which are as robust as our products. Every ELGi compressor is built in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities with η-V profile rotors which we design in house. Our airends run at a considerably lower RPM’s when compared to other compressors on the market. An oversized airend running at a lower rotational speed results in a machine that’s more reliable as it produces less stress to important internal components such as bearings, seals, and coatings.
An air compressor plays a critical role in manufacturing operations across all verticals spanning Pharma, Food & Beverage, Automotive, General Manufacturing, and many more. A compressor breakdown can cause significant downtime, cause operational disruptions and cost thousands of Euros in lost productivity. Our industry leading warranty programs provide customers with peace of mind ensuring they can focus on their core operations, while we guarantee them high reliability and maximum efficiency.”
For over 60 years, ELGi has developed world-class products with best-in-class lifecycle costs, resulting in higher uptime for the customer. Core to this is the company’s focus on quality in its own manufacturing – with vertically integrated processes that have greatly enhanced its manufacturing capabilities, helped to maintain high-quality standards and provided scope for design innovation and flexibility. In recognition of this, ELGi is the first globally established industrial air compressor manufacturer in over six decades to be awarded the Deming Prize for excellence in Total Quality Management (TQM) by the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers.
