Leading Brake Pad Manufacturer Reduces Energy Consumption With Game-Changing Compressed Air Solution From ELGi

A 600kW turnkey solution comprising large EG-series air compressors, air dryers and oil-water-separators ensures reliable and efficient production, reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance costs.

ELGi Compressors Europe, a subsidiary of ELGi Equipments Limited, one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, has provided a turnkey solution to a global brake pad manufacturer based in Hartlepool, United Kingdom. ELGi, together with its authorised channel partner Compressors and Pipework Systems (CAPS), replaced the existing compressed air system resulting in improved operational efficiency, reduced site air pressure by 0.5 bar and an approximate 3.5 percent decrease in energy consumption.

The brake pad manufacturer sought to modernise their compressed air system due to reliability issues that led to increased maintenance costs and downtime. ELGi’s team conducted a site audit to evaluate the compressed air needs and developed a tailor-made solution for the British manufacturer. CAPS’ proposal comprised four new ELGi air compressors, two highly efficient refrigerated air dryers, high-quality aluminium pipework and oil-water-separators. The customer immediately realised a reduction in energy consumption and a much smoother running system with no interruptions or unexpected downtime.
