ELGi North America has expanded its EQ ELGi Quest Series of oil- lubricated, direct-drive rotary screw air compressors to include models with higher horsepower capabilities.
The EQ Series is now offered in 40 HP to 60 HP models to meet the higher-capacity needs of manufacturing, vehicle service stations, metalworking and woodworking applications. This completes the EQ range from 25 HP to 60 HP with fixed and variable speed configurations.
Aneek Roy, Director RPMO, said, "The direct-drive design of our expanded EQ Series is designed to provide superior performance and reliability to small- and medium-sized operations that traditionally use belt-driven air compressors."
The ELGi Quest Series leverages direct drive technology and is built for customers requiring reliable compressed air at improved flows at the right value. By eliminating belts, this design offers efficient energy transfer and optimal air flow. This design also reduces maintenance needs by removing components (such as belts, pulley), improving downtime and maintenance costs.
EQ series simplifies maintenance by providing easy access to components, decreasing downtime. The long consumable life extends the minimum time between service to 4,000 hours.
The ELGi Quest Series is designed for demanding environments, operating efficiently in dusty and humid conditions with ambient temperatures up to 122 °F. An optimized cooling system supports resilience, offering peak performance, even in high temperatures. The series includes an integrated intake and blowdown valve design that reduces starting loads and lowers unload power, enhancing efficiency and reducing wear over time.
An optional variable frequency drive (VFD) adapts motor speed to match air demand, minimizing electrical consumption. Complementing this adaptability is the Neuron XT controller, an industry-grade system that offers advanced fail-safe features and ease of operation.
