Product 3: MICRO rotary screw compressors

ELGI Micro Rotary Compressor is the world's smallest industrial screw air compressor. This miniature air compressor has been completely designed, developed and manufactured by ELGI Equipments Limited.

 

The most unique aspect of ELGI Micro Rotary Compressor is the engineering excellence that has gone into building an air compressor of such small dimensions and yet capable of supplying compressed air for industrial applications. It is almost unimaginable that a screw air compressor with rotors of diameter 28 mm and 35mm can give an output of compressed air ranging from 1 to 300 lpm. Besides the range of compressed air output, the ELGI Micro Rotary Compressor's other desirable characteristics include high efficiency, low noise, and high reliability. This small compressor is a true display of ELGI's exceptional design and manufacturing capability.

 

Ideally this compressor is designed to give 33 lpm of compressed air at a rotor speed of 2880 rpm, with a power consumption rate of just 0.22 kW. The ELGI Micro Rotary Compressor can also be applied for heavy-duty applications with rotor speeds of up 20,000 rpm, producing proportionally larger volumes of compressed air. The ELGI Micro Rotary Compressor has a minimum life of about 100,000 hours, which is fifteen times greater than a reciprocating compressor of the same power range.
