Everything has a weight in the production of lightweight glass bottles, suggests a leading Italian vacuum technology suppler. This is confirmed by the Chang Yu-Glass factory of Yantai, in Shandong, north east China. According to Pneumofore, Chang Yu-Glass is proof that selecting the correct partner has a decisive influence on determining the success of a company. Since installing its first equipment for lightweight bottles in 2010, Chang-Yu Glass has reappointed Pneumofore as partner and supplier of vacuum in 2012. The creator of innovative rotary vane technology in vacuum pumps, Pneumofore has been in business since 1923. Vacuum has emerged as a valuable tool in the production of lightweight bottles over the years, minimising weight, while maximising quality and strength.
