According to Atlas Copco, with the introduction of these new screw vacuum pumps, the company underlines its commitment to sustainable glass production. Energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved in glass production, compared to conventional rotary vane vacuum pumps, the communiqué said.

Christoph Angenendt, Communications Manager Industrial Vacuum, Atlas Copco, said, “The energy efficient units deliver higher volume flows per hour and kilowatt power consumption than vacuum pumps with comparable performance.”

The screw element at the heart of the pumps offers a lifetime guarantee, while intelligent turbo and humid versions ensure trouble-free performance, even in the most difficult application environments, the communiqué said. The vacuum pumps are optionally equipped with air or water cooling, while an energy recovery option makes it possible to use the work of the IE3 high-efficiency motor, the communiqué further said. The oil retention improves the quality of the exhaust air compared to alternative technologies, the communiqué added. Explaining the benefits for users, Angenendt said, “This results in a cleaner and cooler working environment.”
