Specifications
-
Hot-spot bubbling improves thermal and chemical homogeneity in the melt, reducing cord and stone losses
-
Under batch blanket bubbling can improve melt-rate and increase furnace bottom temperatures
-
Reduces the overall time to complete a colour change and homogenises colour during the change
-
Slow precision bubbling eliminates the risk of seed and parasite bubbles in the product
-
Independent control of bubble size and bubbling rate for each bubbler point
-
Throat and distributor bubbling for intermittent use during colour or composition change
-
Unique blockage resistant bubbler tubes allow slow controlled bubbling without the risk of injector damage
-
Comprehensive operator interface with touch screen HMI allowing easy access to key system information and control variables
-
Design backed by more than 30 years of continuous development
-
Bubbling can be suspended for prolonged periods and effectively restarted
