Elgi’s Compressors – Driving Concrete Batching Plants to Deliver Right Quality Concrete Mix
In the construction industry, producing high quality concrete in the right amount and delivering it on time is a challenging task. The right quality of concrete, produced by the concrete batching plants, increases the durability and sustainability of construction. It is the Compressed Air that drives the concrete batching plant operation to deliver the right quality of concrete and on time.
Improving Energy Cost Savings with Variable Speed Compressors
If the airflow demand is varying for a significant duration in a shift between a minimum and maximum flow capacity, a variable speed compressor will be the ideal choice.
One of the important decisions to make while investing in a compressor is to decide whether a production facility needs a fixed speed or a variable speed compressor. Typically, energy cost contributes to more than 75% of the total life cycle cost of a compressor. Appropriate selection of compressors will result in optimal energy utilization thereby reducing energy costs significantly for the user.
Contaminant-free compressed air & challenges of lower life cycle cost in operations
