FIVES, A PIONEER IN ECO-RESPONSIBLE GLASS PRODUCTION SOLUTIONS
GUARANTEEING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Aware of the need to improve the energy efficiency of its facilities, a major glass manufacturer asked Fives to install a newly designed electric furnace at one of its plants in the United States.
This all-electric furnace designed by Fives will offer competitive benefits on the glass market by:
- Reducing energy consumption
- Increasing equipment service life
- Optimizing the quality of the final product
Prium® E-Melt Furnace
As a leading supplier of tried-and-tested all-electric melting technology with zero combustion-related emissions, Fives proposed a state-of-the-art furnace using cold top melting technology with immersed electrodes. Supported by empirical experience and CFD modeling, this technology offers improved energy performance and a longer service life. The Prium® E-Melt furnace combined with the BH-F forehearth system offers optimal glass quality levels and operational stability.
Prium® Eco-Flex Furnace
For the leading European packaging glass manufacturers, Fives developed the Prium® Eco-Flex furnace, which helps reduce their carbon footprint while securing the quality and flexibility of the glass bottle manufacturing process. The Prium® Eco-Flex furnace uses patented hybrid gas-electric technology, able to adapt to a wide range of electricity-gas consumption ratios, up to 80%.
