Being a technology company means that you stay on the forefront of developments and challenges in your industry. Forglass is no exception, so in addition to revolutionary improvements in melting technologies that the company has introduced to the industry, Forglass is also developing its batch plant solutions (which already include the Compact Batch Plant for container glass, Batch Plant for float glass, Cullet Return for container, float and fibreglass, and PCR Cullet System) to meet the evolving needs of glass producers.
Cullet systems that include sorting and purifying are becoming more and more critical, so the demand for such systems is growing.
One global glass producer, particularly well-known for its commitment to sustainability, decarbonisation and constant innovation of its glass production processes is Saint-Gobain. The company recently turned to Forglass with the request to design, fabricate and install a treatment system for a particularly challenging type of float glass cullet.
The design of the Forglass Cullet Treatment System allows it to be built as an integral part of a glassworks’ complete cullet management and transport system – as is the case for this client – or function completely independently, as a standalone system, including cullet storage and fully automatic weighing.
The Forglass Cullet Treatment System – another example of excellence that begins with design engineering and modelling, and continues with testing, installation and start-up, all the way to maintenance and support.
