ELGi's range of portable skid diesel air compressors are ideal for mounting on drill rigs or utility trucks and best suited for water well drilling. ELGi is one of the very few companies in the world to offer the full range of single and two stage compressors in this range. ELGi portable compressors are widely used by drill rig OEMs globally for efficiency, size and maneuverability
High Performance and FlexibilityWith oil-injected rotary screw technology and available power ratings between 210-220 HP, the ELGi 900 cfm Diesel Air Compressor excels in construction, mining, and rental sectors. Users can choose between 4 or 6-cylinder engine options for optimized performance, all while benefiting from a fuel-efficient and low-noise operation.
Built-In Safety and User-Friendly ControlsThe integrated microprocessor control system provides precise operational monitoring, while built-in safety features automatically shut down the compressor in case of high temperature or low oil pressure. Its electric starter simplifies operation, ensuring quick and reliable startup, even in challenging conditions.
Versatility for Any JobsiteDesigned for easy mobility, the compressor is available in towable, portable, skid, or trolley mounts. The discharge outlets (2 x 1.5") support direct air supply, eliminating the need for an air tank. Optional aftercooler, along with primary and secondary air filters, secure clean, dry air, aiding downstream equipment protection.
FAQ's of ELGi 900 cfm Diesel Air Compressor:
Q: How does the ELGi 900 cfm Diesel Air Compressor ensure reliable operation in harsh environments?
A: This compressor is engineered for reliability with air-cooled, oil-lubricated rotary screw elements, robust diesel engines from leading brands, a large fuel tank, and an operating temperature capacity up to 48C. High temperature and low oil pressure shutdowns add extra protection.
Q: What is the advantage of having 4 or 6 cylinder options for the engine?
A: Choosing between a 4 or 6-cylinder engine allows users to match the air delivery and power requirements more closely to their application, optimizing fuel efficiency and ensuring sufficient output for different projects.
Q: Where can I use this diesel air compressor?
A: Thanks to its towable or portable design, as well as skid or trolley mount options, this ELGi model is ideal for remote construction sites, mining operations, large-scale projects, and locations where a stationary power source is not available.
Q: How is air quality maintained in this compressor?
A: The compressor uses primary and secondary air filters to ensure clean intake air. Optional aftercoolers and recommended dryer and filter accessories can be added to achieve even drier and cleaner compressed air, protecting downstream equipment.
Q: What is the process for starting and operating the compressor safely?
A: The electric start system enables easy engine ignition. The microprocessor control panel guides the operator through operation and monitors performance conditions-aiding in maintenance with automatic shut-down features if oil pressure drops or temperature exceeds safe limits.
Q: What are the benefits of a towable/portable compressor for field operations?
A: A mobile compressor offers flexibility to move between jobsites with ease, reducing setup time and catering to field operations where fixed compressed air sources are impractical or unavailable.
Q: When should I consider using the aftercooler and other allied equipment?
A: An aftercooler and accessories such as hose pipes, dryers, and advanced filters are recommended when your application requires dry, contaminant-free compressed air, especially for sensitive pneumatic tools or equipment, and in humid environments.
