Forglass is opening its virtual doors to all glass producers – even to those who have less experience – in a bold move aimed at sharing its knowledge via an online seminar.
Piotr Knast, Forglass CEO, says: “My idea was to do it out of the box, to present a complicated technology in a simple way using mathematical modelling pictures and animations and, simultaneously, to answer the questions the glass industry is facing today.”
The topics that will be discussed during seminar are following:
| 1. See the invisible. Melting tank currents and their impact on melting progress and glass quality. |
| 2. From dog house to throat (Melting tank geometry, the sequence of process stages, batch blanket, foam, glass homogeneity). |
| 3. Increasing share of electricity 0-30% for flint glass and amber glass. |
| 4. What is the difference between melting of flint and reduced glass and what are the requirements for the furnace? |
| 5. Cost and C02 reduction by modification of glass chemistry. |
| 6. Mixing of glass in the melting zone. Can it be improved? |
| 7. Increasing share of electricity 30-80% (hybrid furnaces). |
| 8. First full electric Hot Top as alternative for cold top. |
| 9. Topic chosen by the participants and prepared especially at their request. |
