Vibratory batch chargers with two pusher paddles and either servo- or frequency-controlled drives from HORN Glass Industries AG are increasingly specified in the glass market.

The reliability of this equipment has been reconfirmed by Wiegand-Glas in Steinbach, Germany in recent months. In 2018, HORN delivered a melting furnace together with an HRV 700S-2P batch charger, equipped with servo drive.

The servo drive allows the improved adjustment of the movement of the pusher paddles. Thus, the batch layer on the glass surface can be influenced more precisely.

In the course of a regular replacement of the batch charger 12 months later, the machine was replaced and handed over for maintenance, without incident during the first year of operation.

The customer's positive opinion of this batch charger was quoted as "Better batch distribution, fast change and reliable."
