Published 23rd January, 2020 by Greg Morris

Indian solar glass company, Gujarat Borosil, based in Jhagadia, Bharuch increased its production capacity at end of 2019 to 460 tonnes/day thanks to a second furnace.

Borosil appointed EME to upgrade and expand its 180 tonnes/day batch plant.

The rebuild of dosing-, mixing plant and batch distribution systems was realised under running conditions and the full operation of furnace 1 alongside the Borosil Engineering team.

All parameters in terms of cycle times, batch homogeneity and capacity of the Batch Plant exceed the agreed performance figures.
