Product Design

While the initial investment in a vacuum system represents only a fraction of the total Life Cycle Cost, every design decision in a machine can drastically alter all other cost factors during its lifetime. Our primary design objectives are:

• Reduce the frequency of maintenance interventions

• Reduce the duration of the single intervention

• Reduce the consumables

• Improve reliability

• Improve efficiency

• Maximize durability of major components

• Feature widely available components, providing the full advantage of a turnkey system

Application Analysis

Vacuum plant systems must be configured according to case-specific requirements. In order to realize the installation's potential for maximum reliability and efficiency, each application is individually researched and analysed for the right selection and sizing of vacuum pumps and accessories. Pneumofore performs this service as a regular procedure for every project.

• Assessment of the vacuum needs
• Correct distribution of the vacuum
• Correct sizing of collectors
• Correct sizing of vacuum tanks 

Aftermarket Support

Pneumofore's mission to lower Life Cycle Cost continues throughout an installation's lifetime. Aftermarket service plays a major role in helping customers ensure the full performance potential of their system. After supporting customers with initial process specifications, layout, definition, and installation, Pneumofore takes an active part in optimizing the overall performance of the system during regular operation.
