CRAWLEY, ENGLAND--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--Edwards is exhibiting at KISNON, Korea and highlighting the fast return on investment that their steel degassing vacuum systems can bring to the Korean steel industry, with no waste disposal and lower energy costs than steam ejectors.

Korea International Steel & Nonferrous Metal Industry Expo 2014, (KISNON) is an international steel and metal exhibition taking place in Gyeonggi-Do, Korea from September 24 - 27 . Visitors to the Edwards’ booth will be able to discuss their application requirements with experts from the company.

Edwards’ dry mechanical vacuum pumping systems for steel degassing processes provide numerous benefits to steel producers, including environmental and economic, and supersede the use of traditional steam ejectors - dry mechanical pumps have been proven to reduce energy costs by as much as 90% compared to steam ejectors. Edwards dry pumping systems are also a trusted and proven technology: Edwards has the largest dry vacuum pump installed base in the global steel industry.

The modular system design concept ensures high uptime - a reliable and dependable performance is an important benefit given the exceptional demands that secondary metallurgy processes can make on vacuum equipment. High available pumping speeds, low ultimate vacuum, minimal planned maintenance and low environmental impact all lend further weight to the case for mechanical dry vacuum pumps.

“We are delighted to demonstrate our solutions for the rapidly growing Korean steel industry, and trust that our dry mechanical systems with lower environmental impact and low running costs can benefit the Korean steel industry further. We provide a single source for vacuum requirements, from pump manufacturing, system design, testing to service”, said Sunil Hong, Business Manager, Edwards Korea.

Edwards has been operating in Korea for 30 years, and in 2011 opened an advanced manufacturing site in Cheonan. This is not only a factory but also a technical centre, allowing more local technical applications support for customers in Korea, as well as new product development.
