Horn Glass Industries has supplied its third manufacturing furnace to Ambev as construction continues at its Carambeí manufacturing facility in Brazil.
The Carambeí container glass production facility in the state of Paraná will produce bottles for brands such as Stella Artois, Beck’s and Spaten, and serve Ambev breweries across Brazil.
The construction site in Carambeí is currently in full swing.
At the end of January, Horn employees will also be on-site to support the installation process and ensure a smooth assembly of the melting furnace.
Horn said the new furnace will have an output of 400 tonnes per day of bottles, together with three forehearths for glass conditioning.
It will manufacture container bottles in flint, amber and green colours.
Its E-fusion power-boosting technology will allow the furnace to produce the maximum pull on all three colours with 6% or even up to 20% electrical share.
Furthermore the furnace will be capable of operating on either natural gas, LPG or biofuels and will use modern technology to achieve superior energy efficiency.
