Mumbai: ELGi Equipments Limited has introduced the evolved version of its AB Series oil-free screw air compressors at Drinktec India 2026, reinforcing its commitment to energy efficiency, sustainability and advanced industrial technology. Designed around the company’s philosophy of “Better Efficiency. Better World,” the latest range aims to help industries achieve higher productivity while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
The upgraded AB Series has been developed to meet the growing demand for clean compressed air and energy-efficient industrial solutions across sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics and manufacturing. By combining advanced engineering with responsible resource management, the new compressors are designed to support businesses looking to improve operational performance without compromising on sustainability.
One of the key highlights of the new series is its Class 0 oil-free compressed air technology, which helps eliminate the risk of oil contamination in critical manufacturing processes. This makes the compressors particularly suitable for industries where maintaining product quality and hygiene is essential.
The AB Series also features enhanced energy efficiency, intelligent control systems, remote monitoring capabilities and a closed-loop water management system. These technologies enable users to monitor compressor performance in real time, optimise energy usage and reduce maintenance requirements, ultimately improving overall plant efficiency.
According to ELGi’s comparative assessment, the evolved AB Series delivers a 5–6% improvement in specific energy consumption under specified operating conditions. Over a projected 40,000-hour lifecycle, the company estimates customers could achieve up to 13% savings when considering capital investment, electricity consumption and maintenance costs together.
With industries increasingly focusing on lowering carbon emissions and operating expenses, the launch reflects the growing shift towards sustainable industrial equipment. Efficient compressed air systems not only help businesses reduce energy consumption but also contribute to improved productivity and long-term cost savings.
The introduction of the evolved AB Series further strengthens ELGi’s position in the industrial air compressor segment, offering customers a solution that combines reliability, performance and environmental responsibility. As manufacturers continue to modernise their operations, innovations such as the AB Series are expected to play an important role in driving smarter and more sustainable industrial growth.
