Encapsulated Screw Air Compressors

Elgi Equipments Ltd has launched Encapsulated Screw Air Compressors, E-series. For many years the company has met diverse industrial needs with the Horizon and Global series of efficient rotary screw compressors which are known for their user friendliness. The E-series compressors are an addition to this family of compressors. A traditional compressed air system comprising individual functional components can be replaced entirely with a single e-series compressor. The E-series compressor features Elgi's unique encapsulated airend, with all functional components (airend, suction valve, suction filter, oil separator, oil filter, auto temperature control valve and pressure control valve) contained within a single compact frame. This arrangement makes the compressor more compact than any other similar compressor on the market. The unique design of encapsulated compressors allows ease of access to all standard components for servicing. All standard components are positioned at the front of the compressor thus allowing immediate access by simply removing the panel. The separator element is also conveniently located for easy service. There is no tubing to disconnect, which prevents leakages and saves service time. The amount of oil carried over is minimised. It also eliminates most of the external piping. This in turn minimises leakages and pressure losses. The encapsulation reduces the noise level of the compressor considerably. They produce a noise level of 66 dBA. The main components such as the motor and airend are mounted onto a sturdy and vibration-free base plate that absorbs vibrations and reduces noise levels. The compressor is controlled through Elgi's Neurone controller, with easy- to-use menus, back lit display, a message box and a fault log, special functions and an emergency warning. The new series of compressors, available in the range from 2.2 kW to 11 kW, are designed to operate over a wide temperature range of -10°C to 40°C. The greater air flow generated by the electric fan provides for very efficient cooling even during continuous use and in higher ambient temperatures.
