Inspiring the Future: High School visits Pneumofore Headquarters

In collaboration with the local education community, Pneumofore recently welcomed a dynamic group of students for an immersive visit to the company’s factory. Coming from the nearby “I.I.S Giulio Natta” Scientific High School based in Rivoli, the 4th grade students from the Applied Science academic course had a glimpse into the heart of the company’s operations.
The visit began with an engaging presentation that highlighted the core of the company’s 100 year-long success: its pioneering Rotary Vane technology. The session sparked curiosity among these young minds as they explored the fusion of theoretical physical knowledge and real-world applications.
Diving deeper into the company’s commitment to sustainability, the presentation focused on the industry’s future challenges, such as the importance of having a circular economy approach. Students were encouraged to think about the role of technology in addressing environmental issues for a more sustainable future.
The visit also extended beyond the technical aspects, offering some valuable advices to the students on how to excel in job interviews and provided valuable tips to approach a dynamic work environment.

As a company committed to fostering innovation, Pneumofore was thrilled to host this group of young students and looks forward to support enriching connections with educational institutions for knowledge exchange and growth.

Energy Efficient Vacuum Solution for O-I in France

Energy Efficient Vacuum Solution for O-I in France

Pneumofore Rotary Vane vacuum pumps have been the preferred centralized vacuum solution for the modernization of the O-I Puy-Guillaume plant, in central France.
O-I, which is one of the world’s leading glass manufacturers, is constantly investing into innovative systems and technology in order to increase the production lines’ capability while reducing the energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
In Puy-Guillaume, the company rebuilt one furnace and the attached production lines to upgrade the production capacity and increase the plant’s overall energy efficiency.
For the vacuum supply at the IS machines, O-I chose a centralized system made of four Pneumofore UV50 VS90 HC air-cooled vacuum pumps. These units are all equipped with Variable Speed drive which allows the vacuum flow to adapt to the real demand coming from the production. The rotation speed of these machines can vary according to the vacuum flow requirements, resulting in more efficiency, more flexibility and higher energy savings. Furthermore, these air-cooled vacuum pumps were supplied in their Hot Climate version, which allows maximum efficiency and seamless operation even in harsh conditions and ambient temperature up to 50 °C.
Thanks to the collaboration of Pneumofore with its long-standing French distributor, Gefi, the machines have been successfully commissioned during the last weeks at full customer’s satisfaction.
