EME has successfully commissioned a batch plant for the greenfield glass container plant of Embalvidro in Angola. Located in Luanda, the factory will primarily produce beer bottles in amber and emerald green colours.

The batch plant (illustrated) is designed for a capacity of 180 tonnes/day. A tower concept with a small footprint was selected to reduce building costs significantly. Additionally, a high number of batch cycles is achieved because no gathering belt is needed; another positive effect is the reduction of dust producing sources, thus minimising the plant’s overall dust emissions. www.eme.de
