The Brazil-based brewing company Ambev has officially launched its new sustainable container glass plant in Carambeí, Paraná, Brazil, and Pennekamp played a key role in this landmark project.
As part of the plant’s commissioning, Pennekamp successfully installed and commissioned Three gas-heated annealing lehrs, specifically engineered for maximum efficiency and performance.
The plant produces 400 tonnes of container glass per day, placing high demands on precision, process stability and energy efficiency. Pennekamp’s engineering team developed custom-designed annealing lehrs, ensuring highly uniform temperature distribution across the entire lehr.
Beyond the annealing lehrs, Pennekamp delivered and successfully launched three complete sets of cold-end coating system, mould pre-heating and deflector firing ovens.
The project’s success is rooted in the close and highly professional cooperation between the Ambev management and operational teams and Pennekamp’s engineering experts.
Pennekamp is proud to have contributed to one of the region’s most innovative and sustainable container glass plants. The company expresses its sincere gratitude to the Ambev team for the trust and exceptional collaboration throughout the project.
