Expanding its role in the glass industry, Forglass is opening its virtual doors to all glass producers – even to those who have less experience – in a bold move aimed at sharing its knowledge via an online seminar.
Piotr Knast, Forglass CEO, said, “My idea was to do it out of the box, to present a complicated technology in a simple way using mathematical modelling pictures and animations and, simultaneously, to answer the questions the glass industry is facing today.”
The topics that will be discussed during seminar are following:
- See the invisible. Melting tank currents and their impact on melting progress and glass quality.
- From dog house to throat (Melting tank geometry, the sequence of process stages, batch blanket, foam, glass homogeneity).
- Increasing share of electricity 0-30 percent for flint glass and amber glass.
- What is the difference between melting of flint and reduced glass and what are the requirements for the furnace?
- Cost and C02 reduction by modification of glass chemistry.
- Mixing of glass in the melting zone. Can it be improved?
- Increasing share of electricity 30-80 percent (hybrid furnaces).
- First full electric Hot Top as alternative for cold top.
- Topic chosen by the participants and prepared especially at their request.
