India 13 April 2021: ELGi Compressors Europe, a subsidiary of Elgi Equipments Limited, one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, is privileged to have had the opportunity to support the Italian Red Cross with an urgent compressed air requirement. In line with ELGi’s corporate philanthropic approach, ELGi Europe responded swiftly and comprehensively with a charitable contribution of an air compressor package for one of Italy’s Red Cross logistic hubs serving the Turin area.

Michele Belmondo, Site Manager at the Red Cross Bussoleno, said “The COVID emergency has placed pressure on all people and equipment. We contacted ELGi and other companies asking if they could support us with a new air compressor to enhance our operational capacity at the logistics centre. ELGi responded immediately, visited our Centre, analysed our compressed air needs and within days, provided not just an air compressor, but a complete system including a tank and dryer.”

The Red Cross Polo Logistica Valle di Susa site is a critical logistics hub that serves the Greater Turin area with emergency services, medicine delivery, transport and meal support, for vulnerable people. The compressed air system provided by ELGi is used to power tools. It is also used to support the maintenance of Red Cross vehicles as they support the Italian Health and Emergency services and make critical medical deliveries as part of the country’s COVID-19 response.

Graziano Dal Tio, Regional Manager, ELGi Southern Europe, said “When the frontline of Italy’s health services reached out to us during the COVID-19 emergency, asking for urgent help – we did not hesitate for a moment. After the initial visit, we were able to specify, deliver and install an EN Series Air Station in a matter of days. The offered air station comprised of a receiver and fridge dryer which made it plug and play, enabling high reliability, ease of maintenance and a small footprint. Definitely an ideal compressed air system solution for the Red Cross – Polo Logistico Centre.”

Chris Ringlstetter, President at ELGi Europe, said “At ELGi Compressors Europe, we aspire to be ‘Always Better’ in everything we do – and this includes building long-lasting partnerships with our employees, customers, channel partners and the local communities where we operate. We are grateful for the opportunity to support the Italian Red Cross in its tireless efforts with caring for the local community during these challenging times.”

India 11 March 2021: ELGi Compressors Europe, a subsidiary of Elgi Equipments Limited, one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, announced today that Fasolex, Poland’s leading bean, fruit and vegetable producer, installed an ELGi compressed air system to power the bean sorting line at their new plant in Sahryń, Poland. The ELGi-compressed-air-powered sorting line removes defective beans and ensures the highest food quality possible.

ELGi provided Fasolex with a turnkey solution including an EG18 VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) and an EG22 compressor, and was also responsible for the set up and installation of the entire compressor room including the refrigeration dryer, buffertank, oil-water separator and ventilation.

“For nearly thirty years we have been processing, sorting and preparing beans with a focus on quality. We chose ELGi as our partner for our growth plans due to their ability to provide us with a complete turnkey solution, delivering the necessary robustness of the compressor while improving efficiency and reliability, while lowering operational costs,” said Andrzej Jasiak, the owner of Fasolex. “We rely on the compressed air system to meet our high standards for quality and to cater to the growing European demand. The solution provided by ELGi has given us worry-free comfort, allowing us to focus on delivering the best quality product to our customers.”

“At ELGi our definition of Always Better is closely coupled with us always being the customer’s choice. With over 60 years of experience and innovation, we pride ourselves on addressing our customers’ needs with comprehensive, state-of-the-art compressed air solutions,” said Arkadiusz Wrzyszcz, Regional Manager – Eastern Europe at ELGi. “Our world class products have one of the best life cycle costs, industry-leading uptime and we’ve reaffirmed our commitment to reliability by providing customers with robust warranty plans.”

The sturdy design of the EG Series compressor range enables operations at extreme temperatures – from cold to hot and from dry to extremely humid conditions, leading overall to a higher reliability of the compressed air system. ELGi’s high efficiency airends are equipped with in-house developed η-V profile rotors, with the 4/5 lobe combination, designed to run at low rotor speeds. This unique design reduces pressure losses and together with the OSBIC (Oil separation by impact and centrifugal action), 3-stage separation provides best-in-class energy efficiency.

Thanks to low operating speeds further improved by the operational Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), the compressor can adapt to the changes in demand, and optimize the air flow saving energy costs. These EG compressors run very quietly, which allowed Fasolex to run the compressor close to the sorting line and their employees.

Waterloo, Belgium/Coimbatore, India 12th January 2021: ELGi Compressors Europe, a subsidiary of Elgi Equipments Limited, one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, announced today the installation of the second AB ‘Always Better’ Series oil-free screw air compressor at Château Ollieux Romanis, a leading producer of premium organic wine, in the French Languedoc region. The AB Series unit will support the nitrogen blanketing and bottling of the wine. With a low lifecycle cost, high reliability, consistent air quality, and better return on investment, the ELGi AB Series delivers unmatched air quality in line with the ISO 8573-1:2010 plus ISO 8573-7 compliance norms ensuring zero traces of microbial contaminants. Founded in 1868, Ollieux Romanis is one of the largest privately owned wineries in the Corbières, spanning 130 hectares.

Pierre Bories Owner of the Château Ollieux Romanis winery said “When selecting an air compressor partner for our production processes, two factors played a critical role in our decision. i.e., the highest quality of air at the lowest lifecycle cost. Ensuring zero risk of oil contamination to meet our strict quality standards was of utmost importance for us. The oil-free air guarantees oil-free nitrogen that we use during the blanketing process. Blanketing with oil- and micro-biologically free nitrogen safeguards the wine from getting contaminated, and avoids variations in taste or colour, while ensuring the desired shelf life. We installed our first ELGi AB Series compressor in time for the bottling process in March 2020 and it has performed flawlessly. The AB series ensures oil-free air of the highest quality, in line with our mission to produce high quality, sustainable wine. Today we’re delighted to be expanding the system’s capacity by adding a second AB Series unit.”

Wine has been produced on the lands around Château Ollieux Romanis since the 11th century and in the late 1990s, the family-owned vineyard began implementing organic production methods. The choice of two ELGi AB Series oil-free compressors (AB37 VFD and AB30 VFD) is aligned with the vineyard’s goals to improve the sustainability of their processes.

“When producing premium quality wine over decades you need to ensure that every step of the production process is impeccable and of absolute quality. The ELGi AB Series compressors embody our emphasis on quality in all we do, symbolising the role of technology and innovation, in supporting tradition, while ensuring we remain committed to driving business sustainability and a greener environment.” concluded Pierre Bories.

Château Ollieux Romanis have specifically selected the ELGi AB Series on account of –

UNMATCHED CLASS ‘0’ CERTIFIED AIR QUALITY: A no-compromise oil-free air solution. With the IS:10500:2012 certification for condensate water quality, the AB series also guarantees the safest compressed air for sensitive industry applications.

LOWER LIFE-CYCLE COST: efficient rotors with best in class performance and optimal system configuration in single-stage operation.

LOWER MAINTENANCE COST: Enhanced life and performance of the compressor due to fewer moving parts at low operating speeds.

HIGHER RELIABILITY and peace of mind.

Nils Blanchard, Representative of ELGi Compressors Europe, said “ELGi’s AB Series of oil-free screw air compressors are a disruption indeed! These units offer customers a no-compromise, oil-free solution at reduced lifecycle costs. Château Ollieux Romanis bears testament to just how the AB Series delivers Class ‘0’ certified, high-quality air along with significantly reduced maintenance costs and ease of use when compared with prevailing oil-free technology. The AB series is built around a single stage water-injected screw element, with an inbuilt microbial inhibition and water replenishment system. The units are designed to run at low speeds and can operate at high ambient temperatures.”

For over 60 years, ELGi has developed world-class products with best-in-class lifecycle costs, resulting in higher uptime for the customer. In recognition of this, ELGi is the first globally established industrial air compressor manufacturer to be awarded the Deming Prize for excellence in Total Quality Management in over six decades.

The post ELGi to showcase revolutionary oil-free compressed air portfolio at CFIA 2020 in Rennes, France first appeared on Elgi Equipments Ltd.

Waterloo, Belgium/Coimbatore, India 16th June, 2020: ELGi Compressors Europe, a subsidiary of ELGi Equipments Limited, one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, with over 2 million installations across 120 countries, completed an upgrade of the compressed air system at the Rubber Resources’ BV manufacturing site in Maastricht, The Netherlands. Following the modernization project, Rubber Resources – a major player in rubber re-manufacturing in Europe – experienced increased efficiency and lower energy consumption which contributed to lowering their carbon footprint.

Gerrit Rehorst, General Manager at Rubber Resources, said “Rubber Resources specialises in the recycling of rubber waste, mainly butyl inner tubes and the treads of heavy vehicle tyres, into a sustainable and cost saving alternative for the rubber industry. Our mission is the sustainable re-use of rubber thus it is our priority to make our processes, especially our compressed air, as energy efficient as possible. It was therefore an easy decision to replace the existing 180kW compressor with a 110kW Variable Speed ELGi EG Premium Series unit, which resulted in us achieving class leading energy efficiency, reliability, and low maintenance costs with a support network and expertise to match. In addition, ELGi managed to install and commission the installation within 3 weeks after we placed the order as per the contractual agreement.”

Chris Ringlstetter, President at ELGi Europe, said “At ELGi, we realise that energy efficiency is more than a buzzword – it is an operational and socio-economic imperative as well as being market and industry specific. Compressed air in Europe accounts for approximately 10 percent of Europe’s total energy output. Energy savings compliance norms for companies in The Netherlands are quite stringent. ELGi’s EG Series with its built in variable frequency drive, and the lowest power consumption in its class, has proven instrumental in reducing the total energy consumption of Rubber Resources’ 24/7 manufacturing operations.”

Over the last 60 years, ELGi has developed world class products with best-in-class lifecycle costs, resulting in higher uptime for the customer. The EG Series of oil-lubricated compressors provides customers with high-quality compressed air in the harshest environmental conditions, all while ensuring minimal downtime. One of the key attributes of the EG Series is that it incorporates the state-of-the-art technology of ELGi’s oil-injected screw element providing a long and trouble-free life at one of the lowest operating cost. The entire EG Series package houses the ELGi designed screw element with ELGi’s unique ŋV rotor profile which is highly efficient and much slower running versus most other units on the market.

The in-built ELGi CONSERVE Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) matches compressor output with demand by varying motor speed – reducing power consumption in line with the reduction in demand. Compared to a compressor without a VFD, over a ten-year operating period, an EG Series can have a 34 percent reduction in energy costs.

ELGi acquired the Rotair brand of portable air compressors in 2012. Based in Caraglio, Italy, since 1946, Rotair SPA manufactures portable air compressors from 75 CFM through 900 CFM. Portable air compressors support various construction, industrial, and infrastructure applications. Powered by diesel and gasoline engines, Rotair’s range of portable air compressors are designed to be durable, fuel-efficient, quiet and reliable. For convenience and mobility, units are available in trailer or skid mount versions.

“Since 2012, ELGi North America has established reliable distribution and brand recognition with its industrial range of air compressors and accessories. The entry into the portable compressor market space will strengthen our presence in the compressed air industry,” said David Puck, President, ELGi North America.

Eight years ago, FTG Equipment Solutions, an industrial distributor based in New Castle, DE, started the representation of the Rotair brand in North America, driving growth and market share in the portables industry. ELGi North America will take over the master distribution for Rotair going forward, allowing FTG to focus its efforts on the distribution and growth of generators, LED light towers, pumps and fuel solutions.

“We are grateful to the FTG team for establishing strong brand awareness for the Rotair product line. We look forward to serving the customers they cultivated over the last eight years. Our focus is to build the business and distribution base by offering best in class products supported by responsive service in North America,” expressed Zeke Hendrix, Vice-President Portable Compressors, ELGi North America.

In addition to the headquarters and main warehouse in Charlotte, NC, Rotair’s range of portable air compressors will be immediately distributed across strategic locations on the West Coast and the Northeastern US. ELGi is also planning other distribution sites to be added as part of the expansion project for the division.
