A new batch plant has officially gone into operation.
Zippe’s planned project supplies a float glass line and is designed for a production capacity of 1,200 tonnes per day.
The capacity of the plant can be expanded in the future by adding an additional furnace.
Production started in April 2026, following the start of installation in June 2025.
The plant scope includes two mixers with a usable volume of 7,500 litres each, 20 container scales, and four scales for minor components.
Numerous machines for transporting and distributing raw materials and cullet were also supplied, along with two cullet crushers.
Zippe was responsible for the entirety of supply – from initial planning through to commissioning.
This included basic design, manufacturing of the process technology, control system engineering, control cabinet manufacturing, and the software solution based on Siemens PCS 7.
These services were complemented by installation supervision and comprehensive commissioning support.
Under a separate contract, Zippe also delivered eight plus one float glass chargers including control systems, all of which were successfully commissioned.
