Project News

Fluoride Opal Furnaces and Forehearths

Within the last few months two new Electroglass all-electric fluoride opal glass furnaces have been successfully commissioned for existing and new customers in the Middle East and South America. Another is under construction in the Middle East, the ninth of our latest generation of opal furnaces, with in total seventeen all-electric forehearths between them.

Doubling Furnace Size

Many Electroglass all-electric furnaces have been designed to allow easy future expansion. We are now supplying equipment to enable a doubling of capacity of an opal glass furnace in South Asia at a forthcoming cold repair.

Electric Boosting in South East Asia

Electroglass has recently supplied and installed a new 12-electrode boosting system for a major container glass manufacturer in South East Asia, the latest of many installed by hot drilling during furnace operation.

Boosting and Bubbling in Latin America

A longstanding Electroglass customer in Latin America has ordered a new electric boosting system to add to the total of eight boosting and bubbling systems we have already supplied to them.

Small Systems Work Well Too

Over 100 Electroglass Precision Control Bubbler Systems have been supplied, but not all of them are large multi-point systems. January 2012 sees a system with just 2 points installed in Europe, for low volume production of a special low transmission glass.

Two more bubbler systems with 10 points and 15 points are under manufacture for Japanese customer, Japan being a major market for Electroglass bubblers, where one glassmaking group alone has over seventeen systems in several plants in the region.

All-Electric Furnaces for 2012

Several Electroglass all-electric furnaces are due to be commissioned in early 2012 including a 30 tonnes per day installation with two electric forehearths in the Middle East, plus another 30 tonnes installation per day in South Asia and a 40 tonnes per day unit for special glass production in the Far East, both for existing Electroglass customers.

VS Series Electrode Holders

Introduced in 2011, the Electroglass VS series of water-cooled molybdenum electrode holders has been expanded to include holders for 50mm, 63mm and 76mm diameter molybdenum electrodes. Featuring combined internal splash cooling and closed-loop cooling coils, the VS range offers robust, easily maintained holders, complete with proven Electroglass insulation of the holder nose, suitable for both electric boosting and all-electric melting applications.
