ELGi to showcase compressed air solutions for automotive aftermarket at SEMA Show 2025
28 Oct 2025
The company will feature compressed air solutions suited for key automotive sectors, including collision repair, vehicle washing, custom painting and auto restoration.
Charlotte, NC: ELGi Compressors USA (ELGi), a leading provider of compressed air solutions, will attend the SEMA Show in Las Vegas and feature a portfolio of air compressors and air treatment systems for the automotive aftermarket segment. The SEMA show is centered around the vibrant automotive performance industry, with trade visitors using the event to see the latest in cutting-edge technology and techniques. ELGi will display a range of its products that are perfect for this market, including an EN15 Duplex (20 hp) rotary screw air compressor, an AB55 (75hp) oil-free rotary screw air compressor, a D185T4F tow-behind portable air compressor and an AR N Series refrigerated air dryer.
“Maximum uptime, flawless paint jobs and consistent tool performance are the keys to a profitable auto shop. And the foundation underpinning it all is a reliable compressed air system,” said Aneek Roy, Director of Regional PMO at ELGi. “We’re at the SEMA Show to be a true partner for automotive aftermarket customers. We provide reliable air solutions that help everyone from independent garages to collision centers and custom shops achieve the best results.”
The equipment displayed at ELGi’s booth has been carefully selected to address the high-stakes challenges of modern automotive work. These systems are designed to enhance a shop's productivity while maintaining a low cost of ownership — a goal achieved through exceptional reliability and service-friendly designs that minimize downtime. ELGi equipment is also backed by an industry-leading warranty and robust customer support network, giving shop owners confidence and peace of mind.
For body shops and car washes
For a busy body shop or car wash, consistent productivity is the key to success. The ELGi EN15 Duplex is a non-stop air source for these kinds of operations. Its duplex design incorporates two compressors into a single, compact unit, providing built-in redundancy. This guarantees a continuous, high-performance air supply to keep operations running at peak efficiency. The system's small footprint also solves the common problem of limited floor space in crowded workshops.
The EN Series is backed by one of the most competitive aftermarket programs, with a 6-year warranty on the airend and 5-year coverage on other major components like the motor, cooler and separator tank. For any shop owner, this industry-leading protection safeguards their investment.
For painting and coating
A flawless paint job requires clean and dry air, so visitors to the SEMA Show can see the ELGi AB55 oil-free compressor and the AR N Series air dryer, which can be paired together as a complete system. First, the AB55’s oil-free design guarantees that no oil contaminants from the compressor can enter the line and mix with the paint. This directly prevents common paint defects like fisheyes and ensures a pure, uncontaminated application for a smooth, professional finish.
Then — and again, with the air free of oil — the AR N Series removes the second contaminant, humidity. It uses a hot gas bypass valve to maintain a consistently stable dew point, which condenses water vapor into liquid. This collected moisture is automatically ejected by a zero-loss drain valve, without impacting air pressure. In combination, the pairing guarantees that only pure, dry air reaches the spray gun, resulting in a professional glass-like finish every time.
As ever, to protect customers’ investment in quality, the system is backed by ELGi's robust warranties. The AB Series is covered by a 5-year warranty on the major components like airend, motor, coolers, air oil separator tank, controller and VFD. It also has 1 year warranty on electrical, rubber and plastic parts.
For automotive restoration
In restoration work, the ELGi D185T4F is an ideal portable solution for dustless sandblasting, which is an essential process in any refurb. Many professional blasters operate mobile restoration services, traveling directly to a client's project, whether it is in a home garage or a storage unit. Additionally, large restoration facilities may have dedicated outdoor blasting bays to contain the mess, far from the main shop's fixed air compressor.
This is where a powerful portable compressor is essential. The tow-behind design of the ELGi D185T4F allows operators to bring the industry-standard 185 CFM of airflow directly to the job, ensuring maximum power without being limited by the length of an air hose. Its rugged construction provides a reliable air source for efficiently stripping frames, panels and parts. Of course, this reliability is backed by an industry-leading 5-year, unlimited-hour airend warranty, protecting the investment for years of demanding use.
