Reliable compressed air solutions are vital for construction, mining, and oil and gas industries. Since drilling is both technically demanding and commercially challenging, compressors must meet critical requirements such as high- speed, reliability and economy during drilling operations. Construction Oil and Gas Exploration Meeting Compressed Air Needs for Drilling Operations Mining Water Well Drilling
The ELGi PG series portable air compressors are designed to meet these challenges and are utilised in diverse applications, including DTH drilling, oil and gas exploration, tunnelling, pigging, sandblasting, quarrying, piling, laying of fibre cables, road, and bridge construction.

Features and Benefits
Energy Efficienty-V Profile Airend
The ELGi PG series comes with a unique rotary screw airend that saves energy. The η-V rotor profiles are designed to maximise energy efficiency and hence minimises energy ex p e n ses.
Durability and Protection Against Corrosion
The PG series compressor canopy is made of powder-coated industrial-grade steel. The cool-box design allows cool air to enter the rear of the compressor (in closed-door operations) and wash over internal components, to keep the internal temperature low and extend component life.
A Firm, Robust Trolley
The ELGi PG trolley mounted portable air compressors remain stable on rough terrain. While the overrun brakes ensure that the compressor is towed safely, the parking brakes (a standard feature in all models) ensures safe parking.
Maneuverable in Small Spaces
The ELGI PG series is compact and maneuverable in small spaces, making it capable of short radius turns in narrow spaces. The heavy-duty construction of the compressor substantially benefits the customer as it enables wob-ble-free movement on slopes.
Fuel-Efficient Compressors
The ELGi PG series portable diesel compressors are powered by reliable engines known globally and designed to provide the best fuel economy and low emissions in their class.
Increased Operational Life
The compressor is ideal for operations in dusty environ-ments. The two-stage filtration system keeps dust out of the compressor and engine.
Air Supply Matched with Demand
Fuel consumption and operating costs are reduced thanks to the 0-100% stepless capacity control. The butterfly valve is regulated by air consumption demand to optimise com-pressor performance.
Effective Cooling
Aluminium oil coolers are used for better heat dissipation.
User-Friendly Control Panel
The intuitive control panel integrates all main instrument controls and monitoring systems. The operational condition of the system may be determined via the use of simple-to-use instruments and digital readouts. During abnormal circumstances, the digital panel displays warning and shutdown signals
Easy Access for Maintenance and Service
Operators may swiftly and easily reach regular maintenance components, reducing service time. Service doors make it simple to access air filters and valves. The cam lock/swing door configuration on the service doors enables simple and fatigue-free regular maintenance
