Wittig Rotary Vane Compressors & Vacuum Pumps for the Glass Industry
Wittig has been a trusted partner in providing pressure and vacuum for the glass industry for more than 50 years. Machines supplied and commissioned in 1965 are still running today!
The industrial production of packaging and bottle glass requires a special breed of compressor and vacuum pump, because of the very high quantities required. It is essential that the production site is able to keep up with this high demand, as the process does not allow for downtime – systems typically operate 24/7, 365 days of the year.
Large volumes of compressed air and vacuum are required. Therefore, it is crucial that all units and components are high quality and extremely reliable. Equipment failure during production invariably results in enormously high costs.
A combination of unique design features and engineering refinement delivers real advantages for customers – including reduced energy consumption, increased uptime, lower total cost, and the critical reliability of air delivery, when the pressure is on.
Special rules apply to the industrial production of packaging and bottle glass because the quantities required are very high and the production site must be able to keep up with this demand. The process does not allow any downtime – all systems are running in 24/7 operation, all year long.
When producing the hollow glassware large volumes of compressed air and vacuum are required. High quality and reliability of all units and components is of prime importance, because equipment failure during production invariably means extremely high costs. For continuous 24-hours operation, rotary vane compressors and vacuum pumps offer the best solution.
