For its first investment in glass tube production in China, Schott selected Shanghai Precision Dosing & Weighing System Co., Ltd. – a company that focuses on design and supply of batch plant – and its German partner EME GmbH to design and supply a batch plant for a medical borosilicate glass production line.

Shanghai Precision took responsibility for the engineering design, equipment assembly and supply, and supplied all equipment and system covering raw material unloading, storage, dosing, weighing, transporting, de-dusting, and cullet handling, as well as equipment installation, on-site testing, commissioning and training. The design, fabrication and erection of steel structure and silos for the batch house, and the belt gantries for conveyors were also covered by Shanghai Precision.

As General Contractor for the batch house, Shanghai Precision worked closely with EME to overcome many challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic in order to complete the design, fabrication, assembly, shipping, installation, testing, commissioning and start-up within the limited time frame requested by Schott.

The furnace for this project was lit before the end of 2020 and Schott is reportedly satisfied with the performance of the batch plant.
