Change for Good with Fives at Glasstec 2024

Fives is pleased to announce its participation in Glasstec 2024, the premier event for the glass industry, which will take place on October 22-25, 2024 in Düsseldorf, Germany. At the event, Fives will present its decarbonized glass manufacturing technologies, designed to transform the glass industry.

Change For Good

The glass sector has long been associated with energy-intensive and polluting practices, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Our electric melting solutions, hybrid technology, and oxy-fuel combustion systems pave the way for greener glass production. By reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing energy efficiency, we are committed to reshaping glass manufacturing for a sustainable future.

  • Prium® E-Melt – All-electric technology: deployed at Verallia, the all-electric furnace  has achieved a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions at the plant level. It’s the largest all-electric furnace for the glass packaging industry.  .
  • Prium® Eco-Flex – Hybrid technology: this innovative technology, will be installed for O-I’s Veauche plant in France. allowing for a 70% replacement of fossil fuels and a 43% reduction in CO2 emissions at the site. It will be the first air-gas hybrid furnace for glass packaging applications.
  • Prium® Oxy-Melt – Oxy-fuel combustion: this low-energy furnace has been recently commissioned at Guardian Glass’ plant in Bascharage, Luxembourg. Over time, the technology should reduce the furnace’s gas consumption by 25% and CO2 emissions by 20% compared to a conventional air-fuel furnace.
