Thai Malaya Glass chooses Sorg and EME

Published 27th September, 2016 by Greg Morris

The new batch plant for Thai Malaya Glass (TMG) is being built for furnace SB4 with a capacity of 300 t/d and ready for future expansion.

The plant is being built as a modern tower concept for flint, green and amber glass. Included in the scope are automatic hot cullet scraper return systems.

The cullet storage will be equipped with crushers and all metal detection with automatic rejection. The entire system will be fully automated through an EME controls solution.

As was previously the case with SB3, TMG is relying again on the technical expertise and reliability of EME. Sorg has been chosen to supply two end-port regenerative furnaces complete with IRD doghouses and EME-NEND batch chargers.

These will feed a total of nine Sorg 340S forehearths.
