Forglass commissioned to build furnace and batch plant in Poland
Supplier of glass melting technologies Forglass has won a greenfield project to design and deliver a furnace and an entire batch plant for an international glass producer specialising in the production of amber beer bottles.
Based on technology developed by Forglass (with full automation and safety systems, including gas supply), the furnace at the company’s new factory in Poland will deliver over 400 tons of amber glass per day to three production lines.
The environmentally-conscious investor chose Forglass technology to ensure that the new furnace will be more environmentally-friendly due to low energy consumption and low emission of greenhouse gases.
The 750tpd batch plant will include raw material and cullet storage, dosing, mixing and batch transport, as well as the cullet return system, including two of Forglass’s innovations: Selectable Grain Crusher and SmartScraper.
Completion of the new turn-key plant for glass production is scheduled for 2022.
