Strategic partnership between Verallia and Fives all-electric melting technologies
Verallia has signed a strategic partnership with Fives to reduce carbon emissions towards greener glass production. The container manufacturer is investing in the electrification of its Cognac plant in France with all-electric melting technologies provided by Fives.
The project includes the design and supply of Prium E-Melt cold-top vertical melters, one of the most advanced technologies available to significantly reduce CO2 emissions at the plant level. The melters will have the capacity to produce 150 to 200tpd, which makes them the largest all-electric furnaces for food packaging in the world. The design has been formulated based on Fives significant electric melting operational experience.
