Forglass presents Mixing Electrode System at furnace conferences

Published 5th July, 2023 by Jess Mills

Forglass Mixing Electrodes provide faster mixing of the batch, thus reducing energy consumption as well as other benefits.

Forglass presented its Mixing Electrode System at two recent conferences on furnace design.

At Furnace Solutions in the UK and the 16^th International Seminar on Furnace Design in Czechia, Forglass presented its solution aimed at the decarbonisation of the glass industry.

The tool, introduced as the Forglass Mixing Electrode System, allows glass producers to break through some of the existing technology barriers like specific pull, overall energy consumption and maximum electric boost.

Overcoming present limitations in these parameters, together with the ability to customise the melting process was met with great enthusiasm from glass technologists at both conferences.

Forglass executives are confident that the Mixing Electrodes will soon become standard equipment for conventional, hybrid and electric furnaces.
