Ingersoll Rand India, a global provider of mission-critical industrial solutions, has announced the launch of its LS Series low-pressure oil-free screw air compressors in India. Designed for applications requiring high air volumes at low pressure, the LS Series delivers 100 per cent certified oil-free air while optimising energy efficiency, reliability and total cost of ownership.

The LS Series compressors are engineered to supply high-efficiency, contamination-free compressed air for continuous-duty industrial applications, with a robust design suited to Indian operating conditions. They ensure a clean air supply while optimising energy consumption and overall system performance. As Indian industries face rising energy costs, stricter sustainability requirements and increasingly complex production processes, demand is growing for efficient, application-specific low-pressure compressed air solutions across sectors including cement, power, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals.

Certified to ISO 8573-1 Class 0, the LS Series ensures zero oil contamination in the compression chamber, making it suitable for applications where air purity directly affects product quality, safety and regulatory compliance. The compressors are designed to deliver clean, dry air with high energy efficiency and consistent reliability.

The LS Series incorporates multiple reliability-focused technologies, including Ingersoll Rand’s V-Shield leak-free design and Ultra Coat-protected oil-free screw air ends. Features such as cooling jackets, stainless steel hot-end piping and high-efficiency IP55 motors support dependable operation in ambient temperatures of up to 50°C, ensuring stable performance in harsh and dusty industrial environments.

Available in fixed-speed and variable-speed configurations, with air-cooled and water-cooled options, the LS Series offers flexibility to meet varied site requirements. Intelligent controllers with IoT connectivity via the HELIX platform enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and improved uptime. While oil-free systems typically involve higher upfront investment, the LS Series is engineered to deliver a low total cost of ownership through improved energy efficiency, extended maintenance intervals and simplified servicing.

The LS Series is suitable for low-pressure, high-flow applications including pneumatic conveying in cement, power, metallurgy, petrochemical, food and pharmaceutical plants; ash handling and limestone conveying in thermal power stations; powder and granule conveying in petrochemical and polymer processing; aerobic fermentation in pharmaceutical, food and beverage, biotechnology and enzyme industries; and bulk material handling in construction materials and specialty manufacturing.

Rajesh Fotedar, Senior Product Manager – Plant Air Centrifugal & Industrial Oil-Free Rotary, India, Ingersoll Rand, said, “Our focus is on developing technologies aligned with Indian operating conditions. The LS Series demonstrates our commitment to delivering efficient, application-specific oil-free solutions that help customers improve reliability, reduce energy losses and support sustainable growth.”

With a strong emphasis on efficiency, sustainability and application-driven innovation, the LS Series reinforces Ingersoll Rand’s position as a trusted partner for Indian industries. Supported by global expertise, local manufacturing capabilities and a nationwide service network, the company continues to enable resilient and future-ready industrial operations.
