Glass International April 2011 is the official show edition of Glassman Europe 2011 in Barcelona, Spain. It is distributed at the two-day exhibition and conference, which is attended by representatives of major international glass manufacturers. To that end, the issue contains a show catalogue, including exhibitor listings, a floorplan, conference programme and other key information for visitors to Glassman Europe.
Features in this issue include hot glass handling which covers, among other topics, the importance of maintaining the conveyor chain, and the use of wear protection technology for vital components to improve ware handling. Further articles cover different areas of lubrication materials and equipment, including lubricants for flat glass cutting and those for hollow glass requirements.
A special report outlines a project by German mechanical engineers and the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg establishing the theoretical principles for a single-stage forming process. Meanwhile, the provisional programme for this year's Furnace Solutions conference is presented in Events World.
