Forglass shows path to decarbonisation at Glasstec 2024

Forglass has long held the reputation of pushing – and sometimes overcoming – the boundaries of existing technologies with a singular aim: to support glass producers on the most direct path to decarbonise glass production.

At the previous Glasstec two years ago, Forglass introduced a completely new approach to designing a hybrid furnace with its Mixing Electrodes, which not only accelerate and provide better control of the melting process, but also allow for unprecedented proportion of electric energy that can be optimally distributed in the various zones of the melting tank. What this means is that the technology developed by Forglass allows furnace operators to convert their existing, gas-fired furnaces into hybrids with as much as 80 percent share of electric energy.

This year, Forglass is poised to revolutionise the glass industry once again with its brand-new furnace bearing a mysterious name “F.F.F.F.F.F” (Forglass Furnace Fit For Fifty Five). This is still a big secret that will be revealed at Glasstec 2024.

Forglass Technology’s batch plant division has also made great strides in developing new and efficient, compact batch plants capable of sorting and purifying cullet, then pre-heating it with what is essentially free heat. It’s a known fact that cullet is becoming more and more critical in decarbonising glass production and Forglass offers a number of solutions for sourcing and managing cullet in the most efficient way.

Glasstec offers a great opportunity to see the future first-hand. As before, Forglass stand will feature a cinema, where guests will see some incredible decarbonisation solutions. The company is encouraging those interested in the presentations to call their office at +48-517-252-006 as soon as possible and to schedule a time for their visit to Forglass’ booth in Hall 13, Stand C-16.

Meanwhile, here is preview of what will be shown in the cinema.
