At the upcoming edition of the glasstec trade fair, in October, Pneumofore will be presenting the extraordinary functions of its rotary vane compressors thanks to geometric improvements that now provide higher precision of lubrication and active sealing due to new geometrical design.
The crucial moment of the long and complex process of hollow glass forming is when the gob of glass enters the mould and forms the glass container. Compressed air pushes and the vacuum ‘pulls’ to optimize this fast and precise moment of the process exactly.
At glasstec 2012, Pneumofore will be present in Hall 12, Stand C31 presenting the most recent results of pneumatic engineering based on the excellent results obtained in glassworks worldwide.
Pneumofore rotary vane, air-cooled compressors, with air pressure of from 2.5 to 10 bar(g) and installed power of up to 280 kW are, the Italian company says, highly successful because of the most recent improvements made to guarantee higher efficiency, in response to market requests.
Compressors need to work 24/7, just like energy consumption gauges, creating high costs. In fact, the cost of energy is the biggest part of the total Life Cycle cost and, therefore, improved performance clearly means lower production costs. The innovation presented by Pneumofore at glasstec is the extraordinary functions of its rotary vane compressors thanks to geometric improvements that now provide higher precision of lubrication and active sealing due to new geometrical design. Such changes cause initial costs that are, however, recovered after few months by spending less for electrical power supply.
Pneumofore’s competence is based on its vast experience regarding compressed air and vacuum systems design since 1923. Knowing the importance of correct pipeline dimensioning, choice of accessories and installation requirements, Pneumofore offers such service as an integral part of its supply, which goes further than the machine alone. This attitude dedicated to long-term, trouble-free and the lowest operational cost technology, has consolidated the company’s position as a key supplier for global glassworks.
Pneumofore collaborates with large global corporations as well as with local glass factories and engineering companies. The cost analysis of compressors and pumps is typically quite relevant in glassworks because of the continuous 24/7 production demand and the non-tolerance for frequent service and repair. Such criteria are fully satisfied by Pneumofore’s offer
