The automotive industry is one of the significant consumers of air compressors. ELGi supplies a vast range of quality products for the automobile industry, ranging from small air compressors for a garage to huge air compressors for OEMs and suppliers. ELGi’s compressed air technology ensures high efficiency with a low carbon footprint and maintenance cost.
AUTOMOTIVE AIR COMPRESSORS
COST-EFFECTIVE OPERATION
ELGi air compressors are dedicated to delivering uncompromising reliability, efficiency, productivity, and performance for the most demanding applications in the automotive production process. A complete cost comparative solution by ELGi will produce many options for cost reduction and give an attractive long-term ROI.
DESIGNED FOR ENERGY SAVINGS, LONG LIFE, AND QUICKER RETURNS
ELGi’s range of air compressors is designed using highly efficient air end, developed in-house with 4/5 lobe combination eta-V profile rotors, reducing pressure losses and ensuring increased energy-efficient compressed air supply.
OPERATOR SAFETY
ELGi’s Compressor design conforms to ASME design code and OSHA safety standards.
USING AIR COMPRESSORS FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Plasma Cutting
The air compressors are used for plasma cutting in the automotive industry. As the compressed air is forced into the chamber containing a plasma electrode and a plasma cutting tip, an electric arc is struck between the Plasma Electrode and Plasma Cutting tip. This arc “Plasma rises” the compressed air, making it electrically conductive, which then escapes the pressurized chamber via a small hole in the Plasma Cutting tip, taking the energy of the arc with it. The heat of the Plasma Arc melts the metal to be cut while the force of the air blows it away. ELGi’s screw air compressors help with this process and come with six years warranty on the airend, thus promising durability of the compressor.
Air Operated Robots
The strenuous work in the automotive industry that was earlier performed by humans, like picking heavyweights to tighten nuts and bolts; everything can now be completed by the air-operated bots. Screw air compressors offered by ELGi are perfectly suited to operate these machines in the automotive manufacturing industry..
Tyre Inflation
An air compressor can be spotted in any gas station. The air compressor used at gas stations helps fill the air in the vehicle tires while maintaining the safety and reliability of the automobile.
Automobile Finishing
The paint and clear coat serve as a protective coating to shield the vehicle from its elements. Improper automobile finishing leads to the formation of thin films, dry spay, crater, bubble, and ripples, which further weakens the paint, and the automobile becomes vulnerable to rust and decay.
Air Tools
The compressed air tools provide increased efficiency than traditional electric-powered tools. One of the significant advantages of using pneumatic tools over electric tools is the lightweight and lower operating cost.
