Eight years ago, the company began working with ELGi at its Auburn Hills facility in Michigan. Legacy Industries installed an ELGi EG 75V, a 100 HP variable speed rotary screw air compressor, reputed for ensuring low oil carryover with its unique OSBIC process (Oil Separation by Impact and Centrifugal action) process design. This design enables efficient separation of air and oil in three stages, delivering consistently superior quality compressed air with minimum pressure drop.
“Our ELGi EG 75V has served us well in the past eight years without any issues. Since we were happy with its performance, we decided to install another 100 hp ELGi EG 75V air compressor as our backup air compressor. We have relied on the ELGi EG compressor for the past eight years, and it has never let us down,” Gabbard said. “We’ve never encountered any issues with oil contamination or moisture issues. The quality air provided by ELGi enables us to produce the most precise aircraft parts and tools.”
Impressed by ELGi’s quality and reliability, the aerospace manufacturer has decided to proactively install a new ELGi EG 75V air compressor to ensure complete redundancy and avoid production downtime. ELGi’s EG Series air compressors come equipped with eta-V profile rotors with a 4/5 lobe combination. This unique air end design reduces pressure losses and increases stage efficiencies, leading to an optimized compressed air system.
In addition, the ELGi EG Series compressor is designed with an oversized cooling system. This avoids air compressor overheating and enables the equipment to maintain peak performance for years. With utter confidence in the compressor quality and reliability, ELGi offers its customers an industrial-leading warranty program with a five-year compressor warranty and lifetime air end coverage*.
“ELGi’s reliability and excellent performance have provided me peace of mind. You know you can always count on ELGi to provide the high-quality compressed air we need,” Gabbard said.
Legacy Industry is supported by Michigan Air Solution, an ELGi distributor that has worked closely with the company and built a solid relationship. Gabbard is especially pleased with Michigan Air Solutions’ extensive service fleet that always provides timely services.
“We aim to become the number one service provider for compressed air in Michigan, and ELGi has provided a lot of support for us to march toward that goal,” said David Bartlett, Sales Engineer at Michigan Air Solutions. “ELGi is very responsive in providing support when we encounter issues, whether it’s sending over new parts or providing technical support. They also offer essential training for us to provide the best service for our customers. It has been a fruitful partnership between ELGi and Michigan Air Solutions.”
