Exhibit description

The most important element of the gas suction pump were its valves located on the drive shaft. By rotating, they generated pressure thanks to which the gas flowed through the entire installation. The flowing gas had a series of obstacles to pass through – it had to flow through the entire cleaning installation to finally end up in storage tanks. The gas suction pump was, therefore, necessary to ensure the flow of gas inside the installation.
