Designed to withstand years of heavy duty use

Energy efficient

Two-stage eta-V profile airend
Driven by energy-efficient airends, the compressor offers increased drilling efficiency and improved penetration rates. It is ideally designed to meet the demands of water-well drilling.

Reliable prime mover

International warranty engines
ELGi’s rig compressors are powered by international warranty engines. They are engineered to provide better fuel-economy and low emissions, maximizing performance and providing cost benefits to the customer.

Ease of maintenance and service

Doors designed for total accessibility
Large side doors provide easy access to air filters, engine, compressor, fuel tank, batteries and cooler. Serviceable components are placed within easy reach. The compressor design thus provides ease of maintenance and reduces downtime and service cost.

User-friendly

Centralised control panel
Operators can check on the operating status using a combination of easy-to-use instruments and digital readouts on the control panel. The panel contains air pressure gauge, discharge air oil temperature gauge, hour meter, ignition start, override switches, circuit breaker, engine lube oil pressure gauge, engine water temperatures gauge and tachometer.

Increased Operational Life

Two-Stage Air Intake Filters
The filtration system in two stages prevents dust from entering into the compressor and the engine. The compressor is hence ideal for operations in dusty conditions.

Low oil carry over

Three-Stage Air/Oil Separator
Three-stage air/oil separator effectively separates oil from air. This three-stage system ensures maximum oil recovery to minimize lube oil consumption and maintenance cost.

Auto high drill kit

This system maintains drilling rpm and increases drilling efficiency even after 3 inches of water yield

Air delivery matched to demand

Variable capacity control
The 0-100% step less variable capacity control reduces fuel consumption and operating costs. End use air consumption controls the opening and closing of the butterfly valve, thereby regulating inlet air suction and matching engine speed to air demand. This feature allows to save fuel and spend only for the air used.

Combo
All combo models (Dual Pressure) have been designed to provide optimal pressure for Varying depths.

Ideal for extreme environmental conditions

Robust design
ELGi rig compressor is specially designed to perform at wide ambient temperatures from hot summer to cold winter and from dry to extremely humid conditions.

Robust enclosure

Industrial grade steel and powder coated canopy
Industrial grade steel and powder coated canopy provides maximum corrosion protection and ensure longer life of the unit. The rig compressor can thus withstand the tough work site demands of water-well drilling industry.
