Ex-government ELGI ELRD-040 Screw Air Compressor with Integrated Refrigerated Air Dryer System
Overview
This ELGI ELRD-040 screw air compressor represents a robust industrial-grade solution for workshop and manufacturing environments requiring consistent, dry compressed air supply. The unit combines a 5.5 kilowatt screw compressor with an integrated ELRD-040 refrigerated air dryer, delivering both volume and air quality in a single mounted assembly. ELGI compressors are recognised across the Asia-Pacific region for reliability in demanding industrial applications, and this particular configuration is well-suited to pneumatic tooling, spray painting, and precision manufacturing operations.
The machine presents as a working industrial asset with visible evidence of active workshop deployment. The screw compressor element shows typical operational wear patterns consistent with regular use. The refrigerated dryer component is mounted directly to the compressor base, eliminating separate installation requirements. External surfaces display weathering and surface oxidation typical of workshop environments, with no evidence of structural compromise or major mechanical damage. The control panel remains legible with ON/OFF switching and dew point monitoring visible. Pressure gauges on both inlet and outlet sides indicate the system has been maintained within operational parameters.
From a market perspective, ELGI screw compressors in this capacity range typically command strong interest in secondary markets, particularly when paired with integrated drying systems. Comparable units of similar vintage and specification have recently traded in the AUD 2,500 to 4,200 range depending on hours and condition. This example represents solid value for buyers seeking established, proven equipment without premium pricing.
Condition
The compressor assembly shows honest workshop wear. External cabinet panels display surface corrosion and paint chipping consistent with industrial environment exposure. The cooling fins show dust accumulation but remain unobstructed. All visible fasteners and connection points are intact. The refrigerated dryer cabinet is structurally sound with no evidence of refrigerant leakage. Hose connections and quick couplers are present and appear serviceable. The air receiver tank base shows typical oxidation but no perforation or structural damage. Control panel markings remain readable. The unit has been positioned on a concrete workshop floor and shows no signs of impact damage or major mechanical trauma.
