Vidroporto the 100% Brazilian owned container glass producer for the alcoholic beverages and food market chose SORG as its technological partner for a new end-fired regenerative furnace.

Looking to reduce the carbon footprint, this new 480tpd high-boosted furnace will be the first in South America to use a high proportion of electrical heating (boosting) and will incorporate all modern and proven SORG innovations to produce high quality glass whilst achieving high thermal efficiency, lower CO2 emissions and a long furnace campaign.

Besides the engineering, supervision, steel structure, equipment and technical support for the furnace, SORG will also deliver the glass conditioning system to feed three Tandem machines with the latest solutions, including SORG STW for the distributor and SORG 340+ design for the forehearths.

Vidroporto is a modern Brazilian glass company that has invested heavily to improve its two production sites (four furnaces in operation) and SORG is proud to be chosen for this new project, in which will dedicate full efforts to deliver the topmost technical solutions and support to the glass making team during the project, erection, commissioning and furnace operation.
