ELGi introduces AB Series oil free screw air compressors for pharma industry

By OEM Update Editorial August 8, 2020 1:19 pm IST

Pharmaceutical customers traditionally buy oil lubricated compressors for requirements below 500cfm (90kW) owing to low capital investments, and conventional oil free compressors, to meet stringent air quality requirements. The flip side of using lubricated screws is the multi-layer filtration systems which increase pressure drop and cause down time due to the replacement of oil filters resulting in increased lifecycle costs. On the other hand, conventional oil free compressors in this range, are normally air-cooled and also face reliability issues and temperature trips at high ambient temperature conditions (above 45-degree C), resulting in significant downtime and operational losses, in addition to excessive initial and running costs.
