After implementing a batch preheating system for 350-tons/day container glass production in 2010, Zippe has announced that it has been appointed to also design, erect and commission the second batch preheating system for the same customer in the Netherlands, who represents a leading container glass manufacturer in Europe.

The preheater is designed for a tonnage of up to 380 tons/day and was also installed as a retrofit installation during production. Several improvements have already been included into that new system. The system was commissioned mid 2011 and according to the company now runs undisturbed and reaches high energy savings.
