In a new feature, Daniel Hilfiker, President of Pneumofore, unveiled the green path to low life cycle cost and minimal environmental impact with durable, high-efficiency compressors and vacuum pumps. More than 50% of the electric power used in a can factory is spent for running air compressors and vacuum pumps. The continuous availability of pneumatic energy is a pillar in 24/7 can production. Industry experts carefully choose equipment, considering the total Life Cycle Cost, with a keen focus on electric power consumption and maintenance costs that span for decades.
