The new batch plant for the production of glass tubing will be installed in Jambusar, India, at the same SCHOTT location as the plant that ZIPPE delivered in 2000. The batch plant will supply several furnaces on site.
A special feature of this new plant is the large silo system, consisting of raw material and cullet silos. In the highly complex dosing and weighing system, the raw materials are weighed precisely by several scales according to each formula chosen for production. A high-performance mixing plant ensures optimal batch distribution.
The scope of supply also includes the equipment for the batch transport systems from the batch house to the furnaces with proven ZIPPE conveyor technology. Furthermore, ZIPPE’s scope of delivery includes basic engineering, project management, detailed engineering of the building installation, delivery of the processing equipment as well as supervision, commissioning support and detailed training of the operating personnel.
SCHOTT provides the silo plant, the buildings and installation works locally.
