The Importance of Vacuum on IS Machines
An impressive new hollow glass factory was supplied with UV16 Vacuum Pumps.
The Yantai Changyu Glass facility in the Shandong Province is of medium size,
extremely accurate in company choices, seen for the ordered set up, the
cleanness indoor and the care for machine selection. The improvement on the IS
machines could be clearly measured.
Innovative Pumps Control Solutions
The systematic replacement of water cooled pumps with Pneumofore UV50
units at HNG involved in 2012 the Naidupeta and Nashik plants, where a new
logic was installed, combined with a Variable Speed drive and an Eternet card for
each vacuum pump.
Vacuum Improvement at SGD
Saint-Gobain Desjonquères has a plant in Sucy en Brie, in France, specialized in
hollow glass containers for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. For 7 IS
lines with the total of 52 sections, the previous vacuum system investment,
motivated by low purchasing prices, failed due to the inadequate choice for the
continuous, heavy duty operation required in glassworks. In 2011 the vacuum
level was improved with 1 x UV30 VS55 vacuum pump of Pneumofore.
Vacuum for Wiegand and for Nampak
In June 2004 the first Pneumofore vacuum pumps were installed at Wiegand
Glas GmbH in Steinbach and in Grossbreitenbach, Germany. Several air cooled UV
pumps replaced successfully old, water-cooled units. The good results in
Germany motivated the installation of UV pumps also at Nampak Wiegand Glass
in South Africa.
Vacuum Installation without Service Center
The IS machines of our customer were upgraded for moulding with vacuum in
2003. Despite the lack of a local service center, the control and maintenance was
easily covered by the customer himself. The simple and reliable design of UV
pumps resulted in the trouble-free operation, 7 years long, until the factory was
heavily enlarged in 2010.
