Upgrading a cullet return system is not easy, no matter where it happens. But if the system is installed in a tight basement on a factory that never stops, the job is even more demanding. However, as always, EME‘s team was ready for the challenge.
Stoelzle Glass Group commissioned EME to modify one of its cullet return systems in Köflach, Austria. The relationship between the two companies started years ago as EME upgraded Stoelzle systems in 2005, 2007, 2017 and 2018.
This time the modifications were done in furnace number two and executed on a turn-key basis. EME supplied and installed four gob chutes, two scrapers with 35 tonnes per day and 85 tonnes per day capacities, four vibratory feeders and one belt conveyor.
The result is a factory plant much more efficient that makes world-class glass containers 24/7, all year round.
