In October 2024, South Korean float glass manufacturer KCC Glass celebrated the successful light-up of the new furnace with a daily melting capacity of 1,200 tonnes in Indonesia. As the selected batch house supplier, Shanghai Precision Dosing and Weighing System (Shanghai Precision) also marked this moment as a milestone for another successful delivery in the Indonesian market.
After two years of inspection and negotiation, the customer decided that Shanghai Precision should be responsible for the batch house and to undertake process design, equipment supply for raw material reception system, weighing system, mixing system, as well as provision of onsite installation supervision and commissioning services.
During the installation and commissioning stage, the site project team had to deal with challenging local weather conditions including intense rains and scorching heat, which caused some delay in the construction and erection work. Nevertheless, the site managers overcame these challenges through close communication and efficient collaboration with KCC Glass and the erection team, to ensure timely furnace light-up and production of high-quality batch.
KCC Group is South Korea’s largest manufacturer of paints and building materials, with business operation around the world. Shanghai Precision has worked multiple times with the customer to provide raw material batch systems and equipment for its float glass and glass wool production lines in South Korea.
