Pneumofore has always considered safety the highest priority in machine design. Air compressors and vacuum pumps are potentially explosive, especially when gases are present in the environment. Customers in the petrochemical industry, like Technip and Polish Salt Mines, operate Explosion-Proof Pneumofore compressors for areas with EN 1127-1 and IEC 60079-10 zone 2 requirements. Higher safety standards like these generate a considerable engineering work to quote a solution, which fits exactly certain specific explosion-proof requirements. Correct sizing and failure protection are imperative. Adequate ergonomics in control panels and easy access to all parts of a unit are equally crucial.

Knowledge of industrial safety standards is essential for any manufacturer today. Pneumofore not only respects the highest standards, but has actively contributed to their creation as a member of industrial associations like PNEUROP, ANIMA and COMPO.

Environmental protection is also a form of providing safety, one that Pneumofore has observed since its early beginnings. Today, all Pneumofore systems are air-cooled and emit negligible amounts of oil vapor in their delivery. Electricity usage, oil consumption and frequency of parts replacement are minimized, while noise levels are reduced through machine design and soundproofing.
