Ingersoll Rand Launches LS Series Oil-Free Air Compressors in India
Gurugram, Jan 6: Ingersoll Rand India, a global leader in mission-critical industrial solutions, has announced the launch of its LS Series Low-Pressure Oil-Free Screw Air Compressors in India. Designed for applications requiring high air volumes at low pressure, the LS Series delivers 100% certified oil-free air while optimizing energy efficiency, reliability, and total cost of ownership.
Ingersoll Rand’s LS Series low-pressure oil-free screw air compressors are engineered to deliver high-efficiency, contamination-free compressed air for demanding, continuous-duty industrial applications, featuring a robust design tailored for Indian operating conditions. The LS Series ensures a clean air supply while optimizing energy consumption and overall system performance. As Indian industries grapple with rising energy costs, stricter sustainability requirements, and increasingly complex production processes, the demand for efficient, application-focused low-pressure compressed air solutions is growing across sectors such as cement, power, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals.
Certified to ISO 8573-1 Class 0, the LS Series ensures zero oil contamination in the compression chamber, making it ideal for applications where air purity directly impacts product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. The compressors are engineered to provide clean, dry air with high energy efficiency and maximum reliability.
The LS Series integrates several reliability-enhancing technologies, including Ingersoll Rand’s V-Shield™ leak-free design and Ultra Coat™-protected oil-free screw air ends. Additional features such as cooling jackets, stainless-steel hot-end piping, and high-efficiency IP55 motors enable dependable operation in ambient temperatures of up to 50°C, ensuring stable performance even in harsh and dusty industrial environments.
Available in fixed-speed and variable-speed configurations, with both air-cooled and water-cooled options, the LS Series offers flexibility to meet diverse site requirements. Intelligent controllers with IoT connectivity via the HELIX™ platform allow real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and improved uptime. Despite the traditionally higher upfront investment associated with oil-free systems, the LS Series is engineered to deliver the lowest total cost of ownership through optimized energy efficiency, extended maintenance intervals, and simplified servicing.
The LS Series is ideally suited for low-pressure, high-flow applications such as:
- Pneumatic conveying in cement, power, metallurgy, petrochemical, food, and pharmaceutical plants
- Ash handling and limestone conveying in thermal power stations
- Powder and granule conveying in petrochemical and polymer processing
- Aerobic fermentation in pharmaceutical, food & beverage, biotechnology, and enzyme industries
- Bulk material handling in construction materials and specialty manufacturing
Commenting on the launch, Rajesh Fotedar, Senior Product Manager Plant Air Centrifugal & Industrial Oil-Free Rotary, India, Ingersoll Rand, said,
“Our focus is on developing technologies that align with the way Indian industries operate. The LS Series reflects our commitment to delivering efficient, application-specific oil-free solutions that help customers improve reliability, reduce energy losses, and support sustainable growth.”
With its strong emphasis on efficiency, sustainability, and application-driven innovation, the LS Series further reinforces Ingersoll Rand’s position as a trusted partner to Indian industries. Backed by global expertise, local manufacturing capabilities, and a nationwide service network, Ingersoll Rand continues to support customers in building resilient and future-ready operations.
