Let our experts help you determine the optimal heating options for your glass melting and forming operation.
Heating and Forming
Industrial gases and technologies for faster, more effective heating and forming of glass
Using industrial gases, such as oxygen and hydrogen, in your air-fuel combustion applications can help increase heat transfer, resulting in faster melting or softening. Use of these gases can also enable quicker temperature recovery time following job changes, power failures and pull rate increases.
Oxy-fuel Glass Conditioning for Refiners, Forehearths and Distributors
The conversion of glass conditioning combustion systems to oxy-fuel for refining, conditioning, and delivery of glass offers significant fuel savings. Most traditional systems use less efficient air-fuel technology without any preheating of the combustion air.
