The UN has declared 2022 the “International Year of Glass”. This places even more focus on manufacturing conditions within the energy-intensive glass business, and environment friendly applied sciences alongside the complete value chain are particularly in demand. Vacuum technology also has a major influence on sustainability in glass production – because steady vacuum is needed in many processes. Atlas Copco specializes in offering energy-efficient, intelligent, and sustainable vacuum solutions to manufacturers worldwide. They have provided the German glass producer Noelle + von Campe with three GHS 4600 VSD+ screw vacuum pumps. The Atlas Copco GHS VSD+ series of vacuum pumps are a variety of extremely efficient, intelligent vacuum pumps with Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology.
