The company also displayed its range of EG, EN and EV Series of oil-lubricated screw air compressors as part of the exhibits.

“Energy efficiency is a growing concern across the industry. Our customers are challenged by ever-increasing electricity costs, fluctuating market demand and limited industrial floor space, causing them to look at competitive compressed air solutions that offer a lower total cost of ownership. Our technology teams endeavour every day to transform conventional compressor technology. The LD Series range of 3 HP to 15 HP direct-drive reciprocating air compressors equip our customers with the key benefits of high energy efficiency, industry-leading reliability, low noise and ease of maintenance,” said Dr. Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director, ELGi Equipments.
