LETTER FROM THE CEO: FAST FORWARD TOWARDS A GREENER TOMORROW
Decision-makers commonly associate environment-friendly technology with increasing costs and declining profits. We have made it our mission to show that taking the “green” route is not only responsible, but can also provide huge economic benefits.
Our pumps are based on an innovative technology that offers unprecedented efficiency while matching or surpassing conventional pumping technologies in terms of functionality, reliability and durability. The versatility of the EcoVizor makes it an ideal replacement for outdated equipment. Our pumps will dramatically cut energy consumption for many years of trouble-free operation - when less energy is consumed, less needs to be produced, reducing both costs and ecological footprint.
We consider it to be a rare opportunity and a privilege to work on a technology both ecologically and economically superior. Everyone at SNC Promex - a team of highly motivated professionals - is excited and enthusiastic about the EcoVizor, and recent rapid increases in our sales suggest that exciting times lie ahead of us.
We will all join our efforts to meet the growing demand for our pumps - designing and testing new features, increasing our production capacities, expanding our network of partners and distributors to provide friendly, fast and reliable customer experience worldwide.
Sincerely,
Aleksey SilantyevCEOSNC Promex AS

THE ROAD FROM INVENTION TO PRODUCTION
Sometimes itonly takesamanwithavisiontomakeamajortechnological breakthrough that can revolutionise entireindustries. In 1998, an engineer and inventor Jüri Keikovtogether with his son patented the basics of a rotary pistonmechanismthatistheheartofamodern-dayEcoVizor.
Despite the great promise of the technology, early efforts atmaking an industrial model based on the mechanism failed.Progresswascontinuallysetbackbylackofadequatefunding,andissuesofreliabilityandperformance.
In2002,SNCPromexwasestablishedandacquiredrightsfortheoriginalpatents. A fresh teamof talentedengineersanddesigners started work on the pump. A new prototype wasdesignedfromthescratch,andfiveyearslaterthefirstEcoVizorpumpswereinstalledatselectedcustomers’facilitiesforreal-world testing. Further adjustments and improvements weremade to thedesign,basedon theexperienceand feedbackfrom these test locations. In 2008, modern assembly andtestingfacilitiesweresetupnearTallinn,Estonia,afterwhichtheEcoVizorstartedshippingcommercially.

Design & Technology
PRINCIPLE
The pump mechanism comprises disc-shaped housing (1) with through hole (2), inner surface of which (3) has shape of spherical belt, two shafts (4) positioned at an angle with respect to each other and directed inwards of said housing, and rotary-piston group mounted on shafts and located within of said through hole. Rotor (5) carries inside four chambers (6) and kinematically represents a cruciform. Chambers of said rotor are defined by two concave surfaces of rotating (7) and (8) that kinematically represent journals of articulated joints of two axles of cruciform (9) and (10) with shafts. Journal (7) belongs to axle (9) of cruciform and journal (8) belongs to axle (10). Two arc-shaped half-sleeves (11) and (12) of two articulated joints are located on the shafts perpendicular to their axles (one sleeve on each shaft) and represent doubled pistons of four chambers of said rotor. Capacity of chamber in direction of pistons’ movement is limited from the side, opposed to the piston, by surface of second doubled piston (13) that overlaps the said chamber in the lateral direction. During the shafts’ movement, each piston of the rotary-piston group is moving along the said chamber of the rotor, changing its capacity twice per revolution. Direction of forcing fluid through the said hole depends from the direction of rotation of shafts of rotary-piston group.
