Pneumofore participated in one of the most important glass exhibitions this year, Mir Stekla, in Moscow, with its local partner and exhibited one air-cooled rotary vane vacuum pump - a UV16 in operation with 22 kW, 961m3/h at 50Hz.
The company reports that the exhibition was successful: once again Pneumofore confirmed its leading position in vacuum systems for glass production by closing the contract for an important Russian group, the owner of the three big glassworks in Russia, Byelorussia and Moldova. The start up of new lines of these plants is planned for 2007/2008.
Pneumofore is already present in the Russian glass market with important references like Sisecam/Ruscam, Remtara, Vedapak and worldwide with key players like Saint Gobain and Owens Illinois. Russian customers choose Pneumofore systems as the result of long-term analysis of new investments with a focus on high durability, productivity, efficiency and reduced costs due to no water consumption (no filtration of the cooling water) and drastically reduced power consumption. Pneumofore says it supports the Kyoto Protocol in terms of reduced electricity consumption and environmental impact - criteria that are becoming more and more important also for the Russian market.
