In the framework of increased sustainability, BDF Industries has analysed melting and conditioning zones, which represent the primary areas for effective CO2 emission reductions and energy efficiency.
The Radiative Electric Forehearth has been engineered to guarantee unmatched stability and control in glass conditioning, offering:
- Zero CO2 emissions because of no combustion air or exhaust losses
- Contactless radiant glass heating
- Side-by-side heating regulation with independent thyristor control for ultra-fine thermal adjustments, outperforming combustion-based systems
- Enhanced glass homogeneity, enabling higher NNPB production speed
- Unprecedented thermal efficiency—radiant elements consume far less energy than flames
- Accurate predictive maintenance enabled by resistance-based heating technology
- User-friendly SCADA with seamless integration into plant data systems
This is the new benchmark for glass manufacturing.
