COMPRESSED AIR, VACUUM, AND GENERATORS ELGi Equipments, has announced the European launch of its patented ELGi Demand=Match System Technology on its EQ and EG Series range from 11 to 75kW, an innovation designed to transform the performance of fixed-speed air compressors by intelligently adapting compressed air delivery to changing plant demand, making them flexible when demand changes and reliable for life. Developed to address one of the most persistent inefficiencies in compressed air systems, the ELGi Demand=Match System enables fixed-speed compressors to operate more intelligently under fluctuating demand conditions. The technology delivers up to 17% energy savings, extends equipment life, and lowers operating costs while maintaining the simplicity, robustness, and reliability that customers expect from fixed-speed compressor technology. Compressed air demand is rarely constant. Across industries such as automotive, packaging, ceramics, cement, food processing, metalworking, laser cutting, vehicle service stations, and general manufacturing, air demand fluctuates throughout the day as operating conditions in production lines change. Traditional fixed-speed compressors, however, continue producing compressed air at a constant rate. This mismatch between supply and demand often creates 28 HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS October 2026 www.hpmag.co.uk New compressor technology cuts energy use by up to 17% pressure spikes within the system, leading to unnecessary energy consumption, increased air leakage, excessive Key customer benefits Up to 17% energy savings Field test results demonstrate energy savings of up to 17% under typical operating conditions by reducing the production of excess compressed air. Longer equipment life Reduced pressure fluctuations and fewer cut-in/cut-out cycles minimise mechanical stress on critical components, helping extend compressor and system life. Lower operating costs Lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved equipment longevity contribute to a lower total cost of ownership throughout the compressor lifecycle. Stable and reliable operation By continuously matching output to demand, the ELGi Demand=Match delivers consistent pressure and dependable performance even in applications where air consumption changes frequently.

Over time, these effects can increase maintenance requirements, reduce equipment life, and raise the total cost of ownership. Recognising this challenge, ELGi engineers set out to develop a solution that would allow fixed-speed compressors to become flexible when demand changes and reliable for life. Using ELGi’s proprietary patented innovations, the Demand=Match System intelligently regulates the compressed air flow and helps eliminate waste while maintaining stable system performance. Flexible “Manufacturers today operate in environments where compressed air demand is constantly changing, yet most fixed-speed compressors continue to produce air at a fixed output regardless of actual requirements,” commented Nils Blanchard, Vice President, ELGi Europe. “With our patented ELGi Demand=Match System technology, we have fundamentally changed that
