Forglass has established itself as a vanguard of innovation within the glass manufacturing industry, consistently striving to push the boundaries of existing technologies.
With a clear and steadfast focus on supporting glass producers on their journey to decarbonisation, Forglass has been at the forefront of developing solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability in glass production.
At Glasstec two years ago, Forglass unveiled a revolutionary approach to hybrid furnace design, introducing the concept of Mixing Electrodes. This innovative technology not only accelerates and improves the melting process but also optimally distributes electric energy within the melting tank. By enabling operators to transform their existing gas-fired furnaces into hybrid systems, Forglass’s solution allows for an impressive potential of up to 80 percent electric energy usage. This shift represents a significant leap toward reducing carbon emissions, positioning glass manufacturers to meet both environmental goals and operational efficiency.
As the excitement builds for Glasstec 2024, Forglass is set to make another groundbreaking announcement with the introduction of its latest furnace, intriguingly named “F.F.F.F.F.F” (Forglass Furnace Fit For Fifty Five). While details remain under wraps until the event, expectations are high for a product that promises to further revolutionise the glass industry and advance the decarbonisation agenda.
In addition to advancements in furnace technology, Forglass has made notable progress in its batch plant division. The company has developed compact and efficient batch plants capable of sorting and purifying cullet, followed by pre-heating it using what is effectively free heat. Given the increasing importance of cullet in the recycling and decarbonisation processes, Forglass offers a suite of solutions aimed at optimising the sourcing and management of cullet. These developments reflect the company’s commitment to creating a more sustainable glass production ecosystem.
Glasstec serves as a premier platform to witness these innovations in action. At the Forglass stand, attendees will have the opportunity to experience a unique cinema showcasing groundbreaking decarbonisation solutions. The company warmly invites all interested parties to schedule their visit to Forglass’s booth in Hall 13, Stand C-16, by contacting their office at +48-517-252-006.
As the industry navigates the complexities of decarbonisation, Forglass remains dedicated to delivering cutting-edge technologies that not only enhance productivity but also contribute to a greener future for glass production. The unveiling of their latest technologies at Glasstec 2024 promises to be a pivotal moment for the glass industry and a testament to Forglass’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
