Part of a UV30 vacuum pump from 2002 has returned to Pneumofore for its first overhauling after 20 years of continuous operation. Only the air-end was sent for revision. The machine has been running at Glassforce in Nigeria to support the moulding process of container glass. The vacuum cools the mould and reduces defects, as it evacuates all the air to enable fast and complete loading of the mould with hot, liquid glass.
The overhauling in this case was limited to only the replacement of the bearings as the vanes are still in great condition. A second UV30 vacuum pump continues to run at Glassforce without ever having required overhauling, notwithstanding its 160,000 hours of operation thus far.

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.
