Wiegand-Glas installs two Zippe pre-silos for Schleusingen plant

Published 3rd December, 2020 by George Lewis

The silos will begin production at the start of 2021.

Wiegand-Glas’ plant in Schleusingen, Germany has recently installed two Zippe pre-silos brought in and lifted for its tank 2.

The two Zippe silos were brought in via the cold-end hall and then lifted into place immediately afterwards. This was able to happen due to the tank building being already closed.

The silos were be assembled in just one day thanks to experienced Zippe supervisor Karl Möller, along with other members of the Zippe team and Wiegand-Glas staff on site.

The new tank, which will be supplied with batch from these two silos, is scheduled to start production next year.
