Why are innovative, future-proof refractory solutions – such as those produced by RATH – so crucial for the entire glass manufacturing process? What influence do such refractories have when it comes to saving CO2 and energy? And how exactly does RATH support industry in meeting emission requirements in industrial plants? For four days, the RATH experts were on hand at the RATH booth to answer visitors’ questions on these and many other topics. As the number of visitors to the RATH booth showed, these are all exciting and highly topical issues.
Visitors to the RATH booth were able to see for themselves – thanks to numerous exhibits – that the international refractories manufacturer offers the global glass industry premium refractories for the entire glass manufacturing process, while always keeping a close eye on CO2 and energy savings.
In addition to solutions for the regenerator and the melting end, the international refractories manufacturer presented the new, innovative FOURATH®4 feeder expendables series, as well as newly developed channel blocks and innovative hot gas filter elements. All RATH products are manufactured worldwide in state-of-the-art production facilities and on the basis of the latest application know-how.
From chrome-alumina overcoating blocks to melter burner blocks
RATH showcased solutions for the regenerator and the melting end, such as pressed 1000x500x200 bottom blocks, chrome-alumina overcoating blocks, melter burner blocks etc.
Smoothest surface for the best material flow: Newly developed channel block qualities
Speaking of forehearths: The newly developed FOURATH® 420 zircon-mullite and Vibrorath K99 high-alumina channel blocks, which are made of premium materials and manufactured using the most precise technology, were presented at glasstec.
Longer service life with the new, advanced FOURATH®4 feeder expendables series
Also featured at the RATH booth: the new, advanced FOURATH®4 feeder expendables series, which includes spouts, spout covers, tubes, orifice rings and plungers. FOURATH®4 technology, based on an optimized formulation that has been exclusively developed and produced by RATH, enables a longer service life, better glass quality and reduced costs.
