ELGI – HITCO PVT LTD

ELGI, established in 1960, designs and manufactures a wide range of air compressors. The company has gained its reputation for designing and manufacturing screw compressors through strategic partnerships and continuous research and development. Over the years, it has emerged as a multi-product, multi-market enterprise providing total compressed air solutions in all segments. ELGi’s design capabilities translated into a wide range of products ranging from oil-lubricated and oil-free rotary screw compressors, reciprocating compressors, and centrifugal compressors. ELGi has its manufacturing operations in India, Italy, and USA, with subsidiaries in Australia, Brazil, UAE, and Indonesia. The company is fast expanding its global footprint attracting distributors and customers with its latest generation products.

Robust Infrastructure

ELGi has modern manufacturing facilities equipped with advanced high-precision grinding machines, turning centers and CNC horizontal and vertical machining centers. Screw airends are manufactured with the latest rotor grinding technology, coupled with measurement technology to maintain precise manufacturing tolerances. ELGi’s manufacturing plants are both ISO and EOHS certified. The products are manufactured under a controlled environment to ensure that their quality meets the highest standards.

Innovative Technology

Screw Compressor elements are manufactured in-house using state-of-the-art machining centers for rotor grinding and machining castings of various sizes. ELGi’s eta-V profile rotors ensure energy-efficient compressed air supply for all demanding applications. ELGi is one of the few companies capable of manufacturing a wide range of airends and compressor packages worldwide. ELGi’s patent portfolio is a testament to the company’s continuous research and innovation capability

Energy Saving – The CONSERVE Way

The In-Built ELGi CONSERVE variable frequency drive (VFD) matches compressor output with demand by varying motor speed. The powerconsumption reduces in line with the reduction in demand. This helps in eliminating the frequent load-unload cycle and as a result, saves energy. A fixed speed compressor operates on a load unload band of at least 10 psi / 0.68 bar around the working pressure whereas with ELGi VFD, compressor can be operated within a band of 2 psi / 0.14 bar. Since the compressor is not operated above higher than working pressure requirements, there is substantial energy saving. For every 2 psi / 0.14 bar reduction in operating pressure, there is 1% power saving.In a fixed speed compressor with Star-Delta starter, starting current is as high as three times the full load current (FLC). With ELGi VFD, starting current is less than the FLC. This helps to avoid using heavy rated components like fuses, MCCB, cable size,generator rating and isolators.
