Customer Success Story
Technical Details
Rotary Vane Technology
Our machines are crafted employing Rotary Vane Technology to ensure enduring performance, optimal efficiency, and the industry's lowest Total Cost of Ownership. Pneumofore Air Compressors boast unparalleled energy efficiency, aligning seamlessly with contemporary sustainability objectives to minimize carbon footprint.
Quality and Trust
All units undergo meticulous design, manufacturing, and testing in the EU, adhering to the highest quality and environmental standards with ISO 9001 and 14001 procedures. With supplies to five continents, our customer satisfaction is validated by numerous testimonials, articles, videos, and case studies spanning decades of operation.
Dual Pressure Systems
Modern can factories install two pressure lines, one for low- and one for high-pressure. Compressors run at 3,5 bar(g) or 50 PSI for most manufacturing steps. Also, pressure of 7 bar(g) or 100 PSI is required, in minor quantity. Target is the continuous availability of pneumatic energy to keep the production up and running, to avoid any downtime, with the lowest possible electric power consumption.
Compressor Highlights
Backed by warranties of constant efficiency up to 5 years, our compressors stand out for their direct drive, large bearings, low rotation speed, active sealing, air cooling, and low operating temperature. Equipped with Heat Recovery, Hot Climate Version, Variable Speed Drive, Water Cooling, Altitude Version, PLC with Customized Communication Protocols, and Centralized Control Solutions, our Air Compressors offer unique versatility.

Our Approach
System Configuration Assistance
A compressed air system is a sophisticated assembly comprising vital components such as air compressors, dryers, receivers, and an intricate pipeline system integrated with valves and pressure-setting devices. The meticulous configuration of these elements is paramount in determining the overall efficiency of the system, particularly in cases involving separate low-pressure and high-pressure systems. Recognizing the significance of optimal setup, Pneumofore offers complimentary schematic system layout drawings during the quotation phase, ensuring scrupulous planning and design accuracy. This proactive approach aims to eliminate energy wastage resulting from pressure or capacity loss due to suboptimal piping arrangements.
Customer Assurance
To bolster customer confidence and transparency, Pneumofore extends an invitation to customers to participate in Factory Acceptance Tests at our manufacturing facility. Here, the performance of compressors is precisely measured, providing customers with tangible reassurance of system capabilities. Subsequently, certified technicians oversee the commissioning process at the installation site, imparting comprehensive training to the customer's maintenance team on service operations. The availability of extended warranties, contingent upon the use of original spare parts, further ensures sustained performance and guards against costly production downtime.
