A successful, widely-attended conference that exceeded the expectations: this was the result of Pneumofore participation at Latamcan 2022, the three-day event dedicated to the canmaking LATAM industry, held this year in São Paulo (Brazil). It was a pleasure to meet colleagues and customers after two years of remote contacts. The event was attended also by Pneumofore President, Eng. Daniel Hilfiker.
Pneumofore air compressors and vacuum pumps are running in many can factories in South and Central America at full customer’s satisfaction. The customers’ feedback is of key importance for constantly improving the Pneumofore machine design. With a growing population of Rotary Vane machines in Latin America and trouble-free operation over the years, the feedback from canmakers attending Latamcan was far more than positive and it turned out to be a great show.

The latest innovations in the compressed air and vacuum industry are showcasing at Air-Tech Exhibition 2022, the UK’s largest gathering of world-class companies operating in the pneumatic energy sector.
Held from April 5th to 7th in Birmingham, the event brings together key equipment suppliers from around the globe, as representatives of the most recent engineering advances in the compressed air, generators and vacuum market.
As a leading supplier of centralized vacuum and compressed air systems, Pneumofore is attending the tradeshow to present the benefits of its own Rotary Vane technology and solutions for industrial applications worldwide. On display is a brand new UV24 VS37 vacuum pump in its Variable Speed version. The UV24 vacuum pump is the result of 20+ years’ engineering experience and it is a rising star among the UV Series models.
Pneumofore is also among the main speakers at ‘The Knowledge Hub’ session, with a seminar entitled “Cost Savings in Vacuum and Compression” hosted by Pneumofore CEO, Mr. Rolf Hilfiker. When it comes to the supply of compressed air and vacuum for industrial applications, operational and energy costs can have a huge impact over the years above the initial investment. Pneumofore highlights all the key factors that should drive the purchasing evaluation in order to make a better informed choice in terms of predictable costs and the lower Total Cost of Ownership.

Pneumofore welcomes you at Booth C50!

The UV24 vacuum pump is the result of 20+ years’ experience gathered with the range of Pneumofore UV Series vacuum pumps. After few years from its launch in 2017, the UV24 is rising to be one of the preferred UV Series models. Thanks to its horizontal layout, the UV24 looks like the scaled UV50 vacuum pump, which is the most popular Pneumofore machine and the company’s flagship. Developing the new casting required years of R&D, as every size of vacuum pump has its own Air-End designed to be direct-driven by the electrical motor at 1450 rpm running at 50 Hz. The UV24 in its Variable Speed (VS) version can operate between 30 to 65 Hz with the respective capacity values. The UV24 vacuum pump is also available with water cooling, Heat Recovery and it can be fully customized with PLC, SCADA integration, HMI and more options. The unit is delivered ready-to-use after intense testing and it can access an optional Air-End warranty extension, which covers also efficiency in addition to functionality.

The process of polymer degassing at the extruder is necessary to remove all the air and the residual volatile components. But these gasses can be toxic and aggressive and they can damage and compromise the functioning of standard equipment and vacuum pumps. On the contrary, a tailored vacuum system can separate and remove most of the volatile impurities. Pneumofore supplies the rubber industry since 2008 with dedicated vacuum systems for tyre and hose moulding. Quality specifications, remote control and higher vacuum level are some of the features that can be found in the Pneumofore installations worldwide. The most recent systems are running in Mexico, UK and Romania while many other vacuum systems have been running for over a decade in Italy, France, Poland and India. Customers choose Pneumofore for the durability, ease-of-maintenance and trouble-free operation as well as for the high vacuum level that can be reached by the air-cooled UV Series vacuum pumps.
