In modern glass manufacturing the batch is traditionally melted into molten glass by gas or oil as the primary heat source. Hotwork International supplies all kind of fosil melting technology. Some Furnace designs are using only electric heat which is injected into the top, sides or bottom of the furnace by electrodes as primary heat source for melting the batch.
Hotwork International and its partner XIX Electric supply SCR Controllers, Transformers and Power System to provide highly accurate controlled power to the electrodes of the furnace. A electric boosting system can be installed in various positions and with various functions in the furnace area. It supplies additional energy directly to the glass bath and helps to increase the melting capacity or increases the bottom temperature to improve the glass quality.
