Horn Glass Industries has completed its redesign of the furnace of Indian container glass manufacturer Piramal Glass.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the supervision and commissioning was done by Piramal alone with remote assistance of Horn experts. The new 145 tonnes per day (tpd) furnace was put successfully in operation in June 2020.

Horn supplied the end fired furnace designed with appliance of the most advanced technology to save energy, reduce emission values and extend furnace life.
The furnace is designed with a melting area of 82.8 m² to produce up to 145tpd in total.
