ELGi expands EG SP “Super Premium” Series air compressors to unlock energy savings in industrial applications

16 Sep 2025

The oil-injected rotary screw air compressors are designed to deliver up to 15% energy savings in demanding environments, such as manufacturing plants, automotive production lines, packaging facilities, textile operations and other energy-intensive industrial settings.

Charlotte, NC: ELGi Compressors USA (ELGi) has expanded its EG SP “Super Premium” Series of oil-injected rotary screw air compressors, now offering models ranging from 100 hp – 200 hp. The compressors deliver up to 15% energy savings when compared to the ELGi EG Series and competitors and are now more suitable for a wider set of industrial applications, including automotive, packaging, mining, agriculture, textile and manufacturing.

“Compressed air is one of the most critical utilities in industrial operations and also one of the most overlooked when it comes to energy efficiency. By optimizing compressed air systems, companies can unlock substantial energy savings,” said Aneek Roy, RPMO Director at ELGi. “By delivering both lower and higher horsepower compressors in this range, Companies can find the right-sized solution for their specific needs, helping them improve operational efficiency and reduce overall energy costs.”

Maximizing energy efficiency

The ELGi EG SP achieves improved energy efficiency through its two-stage airends with the proven η-V profile. This configuration distributes operational load evenly across each stage, increasing component lifespan and reducing energy demand by 15% when compared to previous models.

EG SP air compressors feature NEMA Premium Efficiency motors with a large core and substantial windings. Built for severe-duty applications, these motors feature a TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) design, direct coupling with the airend to minimize transmission losses and a high ambient temperature rating for hot environments.

The series is available with optional built-in Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) that automatically adjust motor speed to match real-time air demand. By aligning compressor output with actual requirements, the EG SP Series can provide additional energy savings of up to 25% when they are not under full load.

Advanced control features

The EG SP Series comes equipped with ELGi’s advanced Neuron 4 controller, which is designed for industrial applications. It features a 7-inch touchscreen interface for controlling up to eight air compressors.

Intelligent features include:

Air pressure scheduling
Ethernet, RS485, CAN, TCP/IP and MODBUS
Multilingual interface with support for up to 32 languages
Real-time mimic display for system visualization
Reverse rotation prevention

The ELGi EG SP Series compressors are backed with an industry-leading warranty, including a lifetime warranty on airends and a five-year package warranty*. ELGi has one of the country's most extensive service networks and a 48-hour uptime guarantee for customer peace of mind.
