Pneumofore: Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Can Manufacturing

In the production of two-piece cans, the main energy consumers are air compressors and vacuum pumps, making them key elements for improving both energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Reducing CO₂ emissions per kilowatt-hour (kWh) as part of the European Union’s Clean Industrial Deal has become a priority. Optimizing energy consumption not only reduces costs but also environmental impact.

Pneumofore, a company with over 100 years of experience, specializes in rotary vane technology and offers equipment with a 10-year energy efficiency guarantee, thanks to its robust and specialized design. Its performance is measured by the stability in the relationship between energy consumed and output capacity.

It is highlighted that:

• Reducing energy consumption in these devices directly reduces CO₂ emissions.
• For every kWh consumed, between 0.2 and 1 kg of CO₂ is emitted, depending on the country and energy source.
• The cost of electricity varies widely: from €0.08/kWh in China to €0.39/kWh in the United Kingdom, which reinforces the importance of efficiency.

Pneumofore is committed to durability, with machines that operate for more than 87,000 hours in 10 years, equivalent to 218 trips around the world in a car. In addition, it offers long-term rentals with maintenance included and penalties for loss of efficiency, guaranteeing lower total costs in the long term.

Pneumofore is a responsible and sustainable alternative, which prioritizes quality engineering over mass production, contributing to reducing emissions, conserving resources and supporting the ecological transition of the industry.
