Glass furnace manufacturer and turnkey specialist Horn Glass Industries was awarded the contract for the general repair of furnace 4 at Noelle + von Campe.
The German packaging glass manufacturer will rely on Horn to equip furnace 4 with the latest technology.
Horn is responsible for the complete planning of the refractories and steel construction for the furnace, distributor and five forehearths.
The regenerative end fired furnace is equipped with modern gas heating, measuring and control equipment together with a higher-level control system based on PCS7.
A Horn E-Fusion power boosting system brings the electrical power into the glass melt via 12 electrodes.
To cool the electrode holders and further equipment, Horn will equip the furnace with a complete cooling water supply.
In addition, Noelle + von Campe will be relying on two new HVR 700F-2P batch chargers in the future.
The contract includes furnace drain and demolition as well as the complete construction work for refractory material, steel and equipment.
The furnace is then tempered and put into operation by Horn. Commissioning is planned for June 2025.
