HORN batch charger HVR 600F performs in test of conveyor capacity
HORN customer Bastürk Cam is building a 560 t/d end fired furnace with a melting surface of 185.4 m² in their plant in Malatya, Turkey.
The new furnace is designed with six forehearths for the production of container glass.
HORN´s scope of supply for this project includes two new HVR 600F batch chargers.
The HVR is a popular and reliable batch charger for glass plants and, as a true classic, the most successful batch charging machine on the market.
The two batch chargers were recently subjected to a test with regard to conveyor capacity.
Each batch charger must have a conveyor capacity of 700 tonnes per day, so that each machine itself can handle the entire capacity of the furnace.
With the test on an original batch consisting of 25% cullet and 75% raw materials, HORN was able to prove this performance under real conditions without any problems and thus meet the high requirements for the batch chargers.
