The world's leading glassware manufacturer - Lui-gi Bormioli - was founded in 1946 and was ledto international prominence by Mr. Luigi Bormi-

oli. Located in the region of Parma, northern Italy, halfwaybetween Bologna and Milan, the company and theBormioli family continue to follow the founder’s mis-sion: a commitment to great design, traditional Ital-ian craftsmanship and new-age glassmaking techno-logy to create beautiful glassware of the highest qua-

lity. Luigi Bormioli rivals fine crystal in appearanceand elegance, but is affordably priced and widelyavailable.

As Italian glassmakers go, Luigi Bormioli is rela-tively young, but the company’s devotion to design aes-thetics and glass craftsmanship are rooted in Italian glass-making methods that have flourished on the Venetian island ofMurano since the Middle Ages. While Venice symbolizes glassartistry of the highest order, the lasting contribution of Muranoglassmakers was the creation of a clear, brilliant glass calledcristallo. In time, their once-secret processes spread across

Italy and eventually to all of Europe.Luigi Bormioli brand glassware, all lead-free, can be found in most

major retail stores across the US as well as in Canada. From thebeginning of the company, to the present, Luigi Bormioli has been com-

mitted to the purest sands, potash and other materials used in the manu-facture of high-quality glass.

Most of the company’s glassware is made at the Luigi Bormi-oli glassworks in Parma, while some items are manufac-tured by skilled artisans in glassworks in Germany, Turkeyand China.

In order to produce glass of the highest quality, the com-pany prefers to manufacture its products from thepurest of materials and not recycled glass, but also has certain collections that are madefrom recycled product.

NUOVA OMPIEUROPE PRODUCTDIFFERENTIATION EXCELLENCEAWARD FOR PREFILLABLESYRINGES

Nuova Ompi - Stevanato Group has been hon-oured with the Europe Product Differentiation

Excellence Award – a highly coveted award for its differ-entiation approach into the prefilled syringe market, byFrost & Sullivan, a global research organization whichmonitors more than 300 industries and 250,000 compa-nies with more than 1,800 analysts.

According to Frost & Sullivan’s Report, “With theexception of Nuova Ompi, none of the other PFS suppli-ers possess the capacity to design and manufacturesyringe assembly machinery. The group’s Optrel unitmanufactures inspection machines for containers. Thiscapacity enables Nuova Ompi to meet the specific dimen-sional requirements of its customers.”

“In a highly competitive and dynamic environment,such as the prefilled syringe market, our group opted toinvest in customer service innovation,” said Nuova Ompi-Stevanato Group president Sergio Stevanato. “Our strate-gy is to manufacture and supply customized PFS syringesthat are competitively priced and of high quality. In addi-tion, we recognize that meeting the specific demands forthe vaccine and the needs of our biotech customers wouldbe a major growth driver for Ompi. This is made possiblethanks to our unique specifications, whereby the manu-facturing lines at Ompi are flexible and cater even tosmall volume requests from customers.”

“This Award offers further proof of our superior pro-duction capabilities and demonstrates that we are on theright path towards the commercial production of highquality pharmaceutical systems,” Stevanato said. “We aregrateful for the acknowledgement and the impact it willhave on our future growth, especially in meeting specific

requests from vaccine and biotech customers. Nowadaysthe Stevanato Group is offering a complete range of phar-maceutical containers made from glass tubing, and therecent extension of our EZ-fillTM sterile production fromsyringes to other pharmaceutical containers such as vialsand cartridges is just one step towards the development ofinnovative packaging systems.”

The company received the award for its unique abilityto differentiate itself from the other players in the market,especially the large syringe suppliers. Close collaborationbetween the engineering division (Spami, Optrel) and theglass division (Nuova Ompi) on the development of newmachines and new devices is the main strength of thegroup.

Nuova Ompi president Sergio Stevanato received theAward at a special Frost & Sullivan banquet on 7 Octoberin Bruxelles.

AMCOR GLASSSUPPLY DEAL FOR BOTTLES

Australia’s Gawler-based glassmaker AmcorGlass has signed an agreement with South

Australian family brewer Coopers for the supply of beerbottles, enabling it to commission a third furnace atGawler. Amcor Glass business development managerMark Ogden estimated that annual plant capacity wouldbe 380 million beer bottles, with more than 120 millionfor Coopers.

Coopers managing director Tim Cooper said theAmcor contract was more competitive than previouslyand allowed for bottles to be supplied on a “just-in-time” basis.

Ogden estimated that US Owens-Illinos, whichbought ACI Glass in 1998, had an annual production of2.5 billion beer bottles in Australia.

Once running at full capacity, the Gawler beer manu-facturing plant would give Amcor 15% of the beer bot-tle market.

The last edition of theGlasstec fair in Germany

confirmed itself as the world-leadingevent for equipment and services forthe hollow glass industry. During thefour days of the fair, Pneumoforehad the opportunity to meet severalkey contacts, also from distantnations. A chance to exchange expe-

rience with vacuum for IS machines,to evaluate results on productivity, toreport improvements in the formingprocess and, why not, to discussproblems.

The general feeling was positive,with clear signs of investmentstowards quality-oriented industrialgoods. When it comes to reliability of

continuously operating equipment, orto the need for higher mouldingspeed, or to a minor rejection rate asper the growing quality standards ofthe final product, then Pneumoforeresponds with vacuum system solu-tions based on solid experience,meeting the latest criteria of efficien-cy and environmental protection.

HORNOPTIMISM ATGLASSTEC 2010

After difficult economic times aspirit of optimism is now once

again prevailing in the glass sector. This wasmade clear by the 1,274 exhibitors atGlasstec, the world’s most important glasstrade fair. A total of about 45,000 trade visi-tors attended the event.

During the event, HORN had severalgood discussions with high-ranking visitors,also including many international contacts,with a significant increase of 20% in con-tacts with customers.

During the fair, HORN concluded twocontracts for projects in India and Russia. InIndia, HORN will build what will probablybe the world largest regenerative end firedfurnace with 685 tonnes of glass per day forHindustan National Glass (HNG).

HNG, one of the leading figures in theIndian container glass industry, signed a con-tract with HORN for a 175 sq.m. and a 150sq.m. regenerative end fired furnace. Thesame contract also includes an agreement todeliver a further 10 furnaces.

The signed contract involves complete planning forrefractory material and steel, to be carried out by HORN,as well as the delivery of the complete heating equipment,the reversing system, the electrical boosting and the mea-surement and control equipment of the tank. The con-struction of the furnace will be monitored by HORNsupervisors.

SORGENTERING THE FLOAT GLASSMARKET

With clients in more than 70 countries, andmore than 250 furnaces operating worldwide,

there is one major area of the glass industry that SORGhas not been intimately involved in until now - the floatglass sector.However, thanks to the signing of a collaborative agreement between SORG and the companies involvedin the design, construction and operation of one ofEurope’s most modern float installations, which wascommissioned in summer 2009, SORG is now able to

RECYCLING

USCRT GLASS RECYCLING

TECHNOLOGY RECEIVES APPROVALUS recycler of electronic waste, Electronic RecyclersInternational (ERI), has reportedly received approval from the

State of California to utilize a technology system for the recycling ofTV glass, computer monitors and cathode ray tubes (CRTs).

ERI’s new technology, which uses a proprietary cleaning system,enables to clean and process glass on site in a safe and environmental-ly responsible way.

ERI is the first North American organization to use this technology,which was developed in Europe, is already in place at ERI’s Fresno,California location and is being installed at all other ERI locationsaround the country.

ERI has gained the rights to utilize the technology in the US afterresearching and evaluating its success in European countries such asItaly, Germany, Scotland and England. The technology is now beingused in 18 nations there.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has recent-ly awarded ERI a grant of USD 100,000 to assist the company inexpanding its presence in Indiana, the total cost of which is expectedto be around USD 4.5 million.

offer this float glass furnace technology to the market. The agreement brings together two partners with dif-

fering but compatible experience. SORG’s partner hasdetailed know-how and practical knowledge of float plantdesign and operation, backed up by the experience thatonly the day-to-day operation of such a plant can provide.SORG has extensive experience of all forms of continu-ous melters - cross-fired, end-fired, regenerative, recuper-ative, conventional fossil fuel, oxy-fuel and all-electric -coupled with familiarity with a wide range of glasses.

The furnace technology on offer is unique in havingbeen used to produce both architectural and solar glassduring the course of a single campaign with a glasschange on the run. Energy consumption and emission lev-els are both remarkably low in comparison with otherfloat furnace designs.

As a result of the agreement this technology is nowavailable through the SORG organization. Practical sup-port is available in all phases of a project, both fromSORG and, especially in the vitally important initial oper-ation phase, from its partner.

It is anticipated that the agreement will be of interest toboth new entries into the float market as well as existingproducers seeking a general repair or extension of theirexisting facilities.

Serigraphie Richford Incorporated Ohio, orSRI, has been in production less than two

weeks, but demand for screen-printed bottles has keptcompany officials busy. The Lancaster, Ohio plant is thefirst US location for theCanadian-based company.

“It’s a real treat to start withan empty building and nowwe’re in production,” said SRIOhio vice president of opera-tions Bob Muckensturm.

The company prints and heatslabels onto empty glass bottles,many of which will be filledwith spirits; one of the firm’sbiggest contracts is with Svedka,a Swedish vodka. The bottles areprinted in Lancaster, thenshipped to a distillery inKentucky to be filled.

One of the keys to startingproduction was the expansion ofthe building at 1061 Mill ParkDrive. In a few months, theexisting facility was expandedfrom 60,000 to 80,000 sq.ft. Theadded space was completed inearly September 2010.

The manufacturer currentlyoperates one shift, but will even-tuall move to three-shift opera-tions. Muckensturm said thecompany will employ 30 peopleby the end of the year and about100 during the next 2 1/2 years -all full-time.

Fairfield County EconomicDevelopment Director ShaneFarnsworth said he was pleasedto see the manufacturer beginproduction: “We had a lot ofchallenges with the economy. It’sgreat to see the investment theyhave made to the community.Great to see them up and run-ning,” Farnsworth said.

He credited LancasterEconomic Development DirectorMike Pettit, for being instrumen-

tal in getting the company to Lancaster. The Ohio Development Financing Advisory Councilawarded a USD 2.27 million loan from the OhioEnterprise Bond Fund to SRI Ohio Inc. to buy machin-ery and equipment.

The company is part of the Lancaster’s CommunityReinvestment Area and receives a 100% property taxabatement for 15 years on the expanded section of thebuilding. The company must pay property taxes for theoriginal section of the building.

RECYCLING

WRAPNEW RESEARCH FOR

RECYCLED GLASSA study carried out by GlassTechnology Services on behalf

of the UK’s Waste and ResourcesAction Programme (WRAP), LeedsUniversity Psychology Department andSainsbury’s, found that consumers arejust as likely to buy products in jars andbottles made from mixed colour recy-cled glass as they are to buy items inclear glass packaging.

According to a WRAP spokesper-son: “The research… should boostdemand for containers with high recy-cled content. It could stimulate a mar-ket within the container glass industryfor green cullet (broken glass for recy-cling)… which means more of themixed glass cullet already collected isdiverted away from landfill and lowvalue end uses such as aggregateswhich do not deliver the CO2 savings.But, one ton of cullet used for remanu-facture, instead of virgin raw materials,provides a CO2 saving of 315kg.”

At present, clear (flint) glassaccounts for 64% of the demand forrecycled cullet from UK container glassmanufacturers, with amber 20% andgreen only 16%.

“The result of this scenario is that theUK has become a net importer of greenglass much of which is currently goinginto secondary markets such as aggre-gates,” said the spokesperson.

WRAP’s director of market develop-

ment, Marcus Gover, said:“This study should give retail-ers the confidence to use more recycledglass in their products - in the know-ledge that it will not adversely affectsales. This is good news for the recy-cling industry as it could help to stimu-late a high value market for mixedcolour recycled glass in the UK. This inturn may provide the impetus to divertmore of this glass away from landfilland secondary markets and into closedloop recycling.”

Paula Chin, Sainsbury’s grocerypackaging technologist, supportedGover’s view: “Ultimately it’s all aboutgetting the customer offer right and ifour customers are interested, we areinterested,” she said. “The positiveresults from this small-scale studywould give Sainsbury’s the confidenceto explore further the opportunity to userecycled glass containers.”

WRAP is taking part in a tender for alarge-scale trial to manufacture contain-ers with mixed colour recycled glasscontent of over 90%, which would deliv-er at least 18,000t of carbon dioxidereduction. The target is to consume atleast 30,000t of mixed colour recycledglass which would otherwise be destinedfor landfill or secondary markets.

During the marketing promotionChoose Glass Week, a series of eventswere staged across Europe - in Austria,Belgium, France, Germany, Italy,Portugal, Spain and UK - to promotethe environmental benefits of glass,held by the European Container GlassFederation (FEVE).

Hindusthan National Glass and IndustriesLtd. is reportedly in talks with a European multi-

national to sell a minority stake, with plans to form astrategic partnership for global expansion. India’s largestglass bottle manufacturer is said to be divesting part of its16.76% treasury stock, which was created in 2002 whenit merged with Owens Brockway India Ltd. and which ismade up of shares that are held by the issuing corporationand are available for resale.

Senior vice-president and chief financial officer LaxmiNarayan Mandhana declined to name the potential stakebuyer or share other details of the deal under negotiation.“This strategic stock divestment to the multinational com-pany would help both the companies to tap the comple-mentary strengths, and become an undisputed leader inthe world glass packaging market,” he said.

US private equity firm Sequoia Capital acquired astake of at least 7% in Hindusthan National Glass in Junethis year.

The firm has begun a capacity expansion drive by set-ting up two new manufacturing plants, which will createadditional capacity of 1,300 tonnes per day (tpd), inAndhra Pradesh and western India.

“Our strategic stake sale is not exactly to raise money,but to expand the business with a strong global footprintby exploring the capabilities of the multinational partner,and our own strength,” Mandhana said.

Hindusthan National Glass, leader in its segment witha domestic market share of 55%, is also exploring acqui-sition opportunities overseas, in markets such as Europeand Africa.

The company earns almost 95% of its revenue from itslocal business. “We are in exclusive discussions foracquiring two companies, one in Southeast Asia and theother in Europe. The two acquisitions together could costaround INR 550 crore,” said joint managing directorMukul Somani.

SODA ASH

SOLVAYWEAK CONSTRUCTIONMARKETS

Solvay, the world’s leadingmaker of soda ash, booked

a EUR 197 million (USD 272 mil-lion) impairment charge after tax onindustrial assets due to weak con-struction markets, causing its third-quarter profit to miss estimates.

The Belgian chemicals and plas-tics maker said the impairments

were almost entirely related to itssoda ash operations in Europewhere demand remains weak, par-ticularly with regards to flat glassused in the construction industry.

“Industrial measures have beentaken: capital expenditures havebeen drastically reduced and willremain at a low level as long as end markets remain sluggish,”Solvay said at the end of October.“Our commercial policy will berevisited and if insufficient, new

industrial measure will beconsidered.”

Third-quarter net profit for thegroup was EUR 18 million, wellbelow the average estimate of EUR69.3 million, as the impairment off-set a capital gain of EUR 130 mil-lion from the sale of a stake inInergy Automotive Systems.

Solvay’s third-quarter recurringearnings before interest and tax(REBIT) of EUR 149 million alsomissed the average forecast of EUR158 million.

The company, however, stillraised its full-year outlook.

In the year-earlier period Solvayhad comparable REBIT of EUR 95million, excluding its now divesteddrugs unit.

“Solvay expects a higher REBITin chemicals compared to last year,”Solvay said in a statement, whichhad previously expected operatingprofit at its chemicals unit to be inline with 2009.

“Taking into account the signifi-cantly stronger demand for special-ity polymers experienced in the firstnine months, Solvay will realize asharply improved REBIT in plasticscompared to the low level of lastyear,” it said.

VERALLIAMODERNIZATION, INCREASED USE OF RECYCLED GLASS

At the Verallia plant’s ‘hot end’, glassmaking remains an industrialprocess, with towering steel furnaces, brick and oppressive heat, where rawmaterials are mixed, melted and dripped in glowing globs into metal moulds.

The ‘cold end’, however, has received a new system of conveyor belts onblue frames to carry cooled and coated wine bottles through state-of-the-artpackaging equipment.

Verallia, owned by French Saint-Gobain, has invested USD 20 million in thelast 18 months to modernize its plant in South Seattle, which has been involvedin the manufacture of glass containers since before the end of Prohibition in theearly 20th century.

Daily plant production is about 1 million bottles - 90% of which are winebottles for winemakers in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.

The plant was founded by Northwestern Glass in 1931 and, over the years,it has had many different owners and produced many different types of glassfood and beverage containers. Production of wine bottles began since 1995.

The new mechanized package system was just one focus in Verallia’s plantmodernization. The second, which involved improving the plant’s sustainabil-ity, regards the new partnership eCullet, which moved onto the site in early2009, doubling the use of cullet, or crushed recycled glass. The cullet is hauledto Verallia’s plant and mixed with the raw materials of sand, soda ash and lime-stone, which results in 48% of the bottles produced at the plant being madefrom cullet; with year-end goal of 50%.

Washington State’s number of wineries has doubled to 700 since 2005despite the recession, with Washington in second place after California forwine production.

“Production [of wine] in the region is increasing; a lot of bright companiesin the area are producing great wines,” said Saint-Gobain CEO Jerome Fessard.“We are keen on serving those people.”

UKINNOVATIVE GLASS REPROCESSING PLANT

A new innovative glass reprocessing plant has been set up near Doncaster,in Blaxton, South Yorkshire, using machinery supplied by Finlay Hire -

part of the Finlay Group of companies.Waste glass is ground to -50mm in a Tesab RK623 impact crusher before enter-

ing a Terex Finlay 390 feeder to a Terex Finlay MP300 16 x 6 foot, triple-deck,horizontal washing screen.

Any lightweight material, such as paper or plastic, is floated off through aMogensen Trash Screen, while the -6mm glass fines enter a Terex Finlay TC15Sandmaster.

Twin cyclones on the Sandmaster separate the washing water from the cleanglass fines, which are stockpiled before being sold for use in concrete block andpipe construction.

The -6mm sand fraction is fed into the Sandmaster to produce washed recycledsand for utility fill.

The +6mm is further processed through a Finlay 206 Logwasher for furtherremoval of clay and rinsing, before grading in a Finlay 683 Supertrak into 40x20mm, 20x10 mm and -10mm clean secondary aggregate.

The versatility of the plant at Bank End Quarry means that it is not limited toprocessing glass, and that construction and demolition waste can also be putthrough the system, which is fitted with a magnetic belt to remove ferrous metalprior to feeding into the MP300.

REALIZING THE ‘IMPOSSIBLE’WITH A UNIQUEMACHINE MODEL

Zecchetti art 23-11-2010 12:17 Pagina 24

Glasstec forZecchetti is the idealway to demonstrate to the entirehollow glass sector what we havedone, and better still, what we willbe doing in 2011.

With regards to the recently-heldedition of Glasstec, Zecchetti’s aimwas that of bringing innovations tothe hollow glass market with pro-ducts, above all, for ‘difficult con-

tainers’, because now ourclients are diversifying, especiallywith regards to non-round andsquare-, rectangular- or evenstrange shapes.

Thanks to our experience in theItalian market with one of its hol-low glass manufacturers, we real-

ized it was now time to demonstratethe solutions that we have for allglassmakers with particular pro-ducts for conveyors, systems ofdivision, orientation and recogni-tion of the diverse sizes and shapesof the glass items, as well as, ofcourse, with regards to palletizing.

And with regards to palletizing,we realized that our clients found itdifficult to choose the right

During a recent visit to Zecchetti, Glass Machinery Plants &

Accessories spoke to Mauro Giovanelli, General Manager of the

company, and Miriam Garimberti, Sales and Marketing, to find out

about the developments being carried out – with regards to

markets and, of course, to products.


machine to suit their needs – bothpresent and future.

The two basic machines thatmost companies of this sector haveare pick & place and sweep-offmachines, and container manufac-turers often had to choose betweenthese two different machines.

Zecchetti’s response to thisdilemma is the new patented solu-tion that transforms our traditionalmachine - the pick & place - into auniversal machine - the R-Pal withthe new Multi-Purpose PalletizingHead M.P.H..

It can start as a pick & placemachine, and additional/differentequipment can be added at a laterdate. Another benefit is that a con-tainer manufacturer can, for exam-

ple, have three machines equippeddifferently and those different sys-tems are absolutely interchangeable.

This means that it is no longernecessary to have three ‘complete’machines each with a completeseries of dedicated equipment.Glassmakers can buy three ‘modu-lar’ machines and equip them as the need arises, now and in the future, also interchanging and adding equipment on the dif-ferent machines.

A perfect example of this is atypical glassmaker who has a trans-port line going to three differentterminal units that palletize. WithZecchetti’s new modular machine,each machine can be the same base,but can be equipped and inter-

changed to carry out the operationsnecessary for each product beingtransported and for each processthat must be carried out.

Normally, particular shaped bot-tles and containers must be handledby means of special inflating tubesbecause they cannot be ‘pushed’ asnormal shaped ones. In other situa-tions, we are obliged to move thecontainers by pushing, as for exam-ple, with small bottles. These arethe two extremes as far as palettiza-tion is concerned, but there is amyriad of different situations inbetween depending on the shape ofthe container and the type of glass itis made of.

Obviously, the more we use the‘sweep-off’ mode, the fewer prob-

M.P.H. Multi Purpose Palletizing Head

The advantages of the M.P.H. concept are:• only one palletizer for all palletizing needs;• no need to choose in advance between sweep-off and

pick-and-place modes; and• the same main features that have contributed to the

PAL 300’s worldwide success.The peculiarities of the new patent pending Multi-PurposeHead M.P.H. enable safe layer transfer for almost all typesof containers, even in the absence of space among thecontainer necks:• pick-up/deposit slat plane, very thin and highly

smooth; • during the layer pick-up phase the plane replaces the

table mat with zero jumps for the containers;• the layer transfer is possible both with the table run-

ning and with the stationary table without constraintswhatsoever for the stacker;

• during the layer deposit phase the slat plane flexibletip lays the bottles onto the layer separator with zerojumps for the containers;

• possibility of transferring strapped layers;• possibility of transferring layers of cartons or bags;• tool-free format changeover;• quick format changeover (automatic format change-

over on request).

lems we will have with the machineand with changeover of format.This, of course, is the dream of allglassmakers – having a singlemachine that does everything!Diversification can also be seen inthe palletizing format – with traysor with different layer separators asper the different packaging needs ofeach client.

And this can demonstrate howthe sweep off mode is not really asuniversal as it is said to be, becausein some situations we are obliged touse the pick and place mode.

Obviously, our ‘old’ universalpalletizer could be integrated with apick-up head and we still considerit a very valid machine. However,all these so-called universalmachines are quite problematic asthey often need to be modifiedbecause of lack of space.

Zecchetti’s pick and placemachine – the Column Palletizer–was created about 30 years ago,and has, since then, continued toundergo development. Being basi-cally single-column machines: arotating column for the pick-uphead; a stationary single column forthe centering unit; and an inter-leaver column with the parts inmovement always working in arotating way means that many dif-ferent types of layout can be creat-ed – even extreme types – provid-ing the best access to the machines.

FUTURE OUTLOOKWhat do you expect from the near

future, and 2011 in particular?As leader in the PET sector,

Zecchetti entered the glass sectorabout 20 years ago with an ambi-tious goal: that of maintaining its

Energy Saving(low absorption)

motors

leading position in conveying andpalletizing in glass too. Until just afew years ago, glassmakers weregenerally very traditionalist and it was unthinkable for them toaccept something that was out ofthe ordinary. They are, however,starting to accept new solutions,and at Zecchetti we are creatingand patenting different solutionswith their present and future needsin mind.



And which will be the targetcompanies and geographical areasfor this new type of machinery –large groups, which seem to beopen-minded to new solutions, ormedium- to large glassworks thatare still family-owned?

Zecchetti is active in almostevery country, in both larger glass-works as well as smaller compa-nies. The latter are those active inthe production of special items andthis is a sector that can find goodresponse with our new machine.Being able to transport up to sixtypes of bottles all produced at thesame time, right from the exit of theannealing lehr is the ideal solutionfor glassmakers with continuouslychanging production types.

The name Zecchetti is well-known throughout the world at allthe major glassmaking groups–about ten at the most – and theyusually have more than one supplierof machinery – Zecchetti includedof course! A situation that also cre-ates healthy competition amongmachinery manufacturers, maintain-ing the market active. This, however,also creates fierce competition as faras prices are concerned, which is notalways a good situation.

We are not used to discussing ornegotiating prices but technologyyes – and this is what we want tocontinue to do. Making differentmachines and proposing differentsolutions to be able to satisfy awider range of glassmakers andtheir needs.

And Glasstec for Zecchetti wasthe perfect way to inform peopleabout this aim of standing out fromthe crowd with our style and quali-ty, which will, as always, continueas part of our market strategy in2011 too.

WORLDWIDE PRESENCEWhat about your worldwide

market presence? What can you tellus about the countries that are themost active for Zecchetti?

We can say that our analysis ofthe worldwide market is quite

clear. We are perfectly aware thatin some countries our ‘traditional’approach does not really work. Insome of the large and interestingmarkets – China and Brazil forexample – it is very difficult tocarry out direct sales. In Brazil,because of the very high customstaxes applied, in India becausethere is quite a good internal mar-ket there already, and in China,where they have started manufac-turing machinery – quite simpleup to now.

Zecchetti has more or less aglobal presence, but we have real-ized that in the above-mentionedcountries for example, we need tohave a different type of marketingstrategy, which is based more oncollaboration with local companies.What we are trying to do in certaincountries is to identify the mostsuitable way of entering the market.

Zecchetti has a very strong pres-ence in the United States with ourpalletizers for PET, with about 200lines installed, and there is ourbranch there – Zecchetti USA,where we started about 13-14 yearsago, when we were able to winagainst local competition with ourcompletely new way of palletizingPET. These fully-automaticmachines were bought by almostevery PET manufacturer, makingour name known in the market,enabling us to set up our branch,which provides high-level technicalassistance, spare parts as well ascommercial activities. And, there-fore, seeing the good results of thePET market we are now working toachieve the same goals with theglass market too!

In fact, the extremely traditional-ist US market is now looking formore automatism and is alreadystarting to use a different approachto palletizing, similar to theEuropean one and, therefore, open-ing the market more.

This means that the market you are expecting to get the mostsatisfaction from in the short- to

medium-term is therefore theUnited States?

No, not really! Other than India,Brazil, Central- and North America,where we are working hard,Zecchetti also has some importantprojects with other countries, suchas the Middle East, for example.

With regards to Europe, weknow that Eastern Europe is under-going a positive trend, with Poland,for example, now in the position toinvest, as well as Slovenia.

Speaking about other countriesof Europe, work is more concen-trated on the substitution andupdating of machinery, due to thehigh costs of raw materials andfuel. There are, however, manyglassworks, especially in France,Germany and Italy.

Italy is a good and importantmarket for Zecchetti but Germanywas the first and best country forour sector and was the countrywhere we sold our first rotating col-umn machine. It is, in fact almost amonopoly of Zecchetti with 60 percent of machinery sold by us.

These countries are followed by Spain, France and the UnitedKingdom, even if not on a regularbasis.

What about joint ventures? Areyou thinking about this kind of col-laboration with international com-panies ? If so, in which countries?

We are discussing this type ofsituation at present but nothingdefinitive has been decided yet.Zecchetti, however, will not beopening a production unit in any ofthese countries. For us, the jointventure, in the case we decide tomake this kind of move, wouldobviously be in the form of colla-boration with a company there, andwill involve exchange of technolo-gy, with production carried out bythe local company.

In many countries, until now,palletizing has been carried out byhand, also thanks to the abundanceof human labour. The situation is,however, starting to change, espe-

cially with regards to India, creat-ing market thanks to the presenceof the large glassmaking groupsexporting glass containers.

This in turn means the need foradequate pallets and palletizingsystems suitable for the overseasmarkets.

It is therefore now the perfecttime to enter the market.

CONCLUSIONSSometimes a crisis has the abili-

ty of shaking the market.Companies that want to stay in themarket and grow need to be alertand not just think that they arestrong because of what they havedone in the past or because theirname is well known.

The crisis in the United States,which started off the entire globalcrisis, has given us the push to domore. Our company has always hadthe ability and strength to react, beappreciated by clients, and to beable to turn the tables in our favour.

In fact, we are already seeing

the first results from the actionsthat we have taken, with newclients coming to us, which is areally positive situation.

Our next developments are thoseof automation, increasing speed,and the need to have high-speedproduction changeover with – aswe already have in our PET pal-letizers – the One Push ButtonChangeover. And, of course, thedevelopments we had on show atGlasstec were just the beginning ofthese developments. ■

urmond is a family-run com-pany and, in fact, when we atGlass Machinery Plants &Accessories visited the firm,

we were greeted by one of the own-ers - Alessandro Colombatto, Salesand Marketing Manager - who isalso extremely available and readyto help in the workshop too.

The company uses its tungstencarbide for many different produc-tion sectors, such as paper and pack-aging, metal, plastic and fiber, sealrings and special applications and,of course, the glass sector. Used inthe manufacture of shear blades forthe hollow glass industry – a rela-tively new sector for this company –it can reach impressive performancewith regards to working lifetime andcut quality, in turn, guaranteeingimportant advantages in terms ofeconomic payback. Turmond’stungsten carbide shear blades havebeen patented in Europe and in themain worldwide markets.

Company facilities are so com-plete and functional that the entire

process – from the mixing ofthe powder for the

metal – Sandvik – to the sintering,grinding, material analysis andpackaging of the finished items, isall carried out entirely in-house.

THE INTERVIEWSpeaking to AlessandroColombatto

“Of course, the long working lifeof the shear blades, as with everymoving part of a machine or pro-duction process, depends on howthey are used, and what kind ofprocess they are used for.

There are, for example, somekinds of production – standard,such as beer bottles for example, ornormal containers – whereextremely high quality is not reallynecessary and where normal bladescan have a working life of five tosix months on average.

We have also used them for otherapplications, such as in the case ofcrystal and borosilicate glass pro-duction, where, on average, stain-less steel blades need to be changedevery eight hours.

This, however, does not mean thatthe blade is no longer good to cut, butthat the quality of the cut is not up tothe level required by the crystal orborosilicate glass maker.

hand, they told us that they have evenreached 200 hours without changingthem – an incredible difference.

Standardized productionWhat we tried to do when we

entered the glass market was tostandardize our production so as tosatisfy the widest range of requestsfrom clients – in fact, our produc-tion range consists of four differenttypes. This also simplifies our worktoo as we can programme our pro-duction and keep items on stock inthe warehouse ready to be shipped.It also means that we are neverwithout these products and that ourclients do not have to wait until wemanufacture them.”

How and why did you enter theglass market?

“With a considerable companyhistory and experience in the pro-

duction of tungsten carbide metalparts for diverse industries such asmetal, paper and plastic, and afterstudying the demands and specificrequests coming from the glass sec-tor, Turmond began commercializa-tion of its shear blades only in June2009, but immediately with verypositive results.

The idea to start in this marketcame because of the wide range ofapplications and types of glass andproducts used, as well as, of course,the fact that it is a highly valid mar-ket in terms of technology and, ofcourse, economically.

Entering the market required, firstand foremost, standardized produc-tion. This was carried out and, ofcourse patented, with regards to thespecial tip of the shears, especiallydesigned to facilitate the joining ofthe two shears during cutting of the glass gob, and thus ensuring

less wear and tear on the shears too.Turmond’s patented shears are

available in four standard formats,and can be used on any kind andmake of IS machines. Being madeof tungsten carbide means, ofcourse, that they have quite a highprice – up to ten times the price ofstainless steel. However, ensuresthe company, they give an imme-diate payback as their use can becontinuous from the beginning tothe end of their working life.

Moreover, considering that the downtimes needed to changeblades are reduced greatly, thisis a considerable saving in termsof production costs. When wespeak about working life, the different is easy to see: with normal steel blades, these mustoften be changed every two orthree week; with tungsten carbide the figure not only increases

Turmond:

CHANGING MENTALITY FORLONG-TERM SAVINGS




from two to five or six, but monthsnot weeks!

This means, however, that thecommercialization of these bladesis connected to markets for theproduction of more complex itemsand not for mass production. Infact, in market sectors where highcutting quality is requested, com-panies manufacturing crystalitems, for example.”

Cutting quality“The real strongpoint of our

blades is their high and constantcutting quality. At present, how-ever, sales are now ongoing inmany different sectors – eventhose that do not really require thesame type of quality standards –which means that the long work-ing life of the blades is also a high-ly appreciated feature.

A further improvement regardsthe heat conduction of the metalused for the blades: compared tosteel, which has high conductivity,tungsten carbide has even doublethis conductivity and thus heats upfaster and cools down faster too. Onthe contrary to steel, which maystart having problems at tempera-tures of 200-250°C, tungsten car-bide and other so-called hard met-als resist to temperatures up to 500-600°C without difficulty.

Moreover, this extremely resis-tant metal and the special designof Turmond’s blades, ensure betterclosure, and thus higher precisionof cut. Moreover, thanks to a spe-cial spacer supplied with theshears, their installation is greatlyfacilitated.”

Market areas and companies“Countries where we are active

at the moment are, in alphabeticalorder: Africa, Eastern Europeancounries, France, Germany, Italy,Japan, Mexico, Spain, SouthThailand, Taiwan, Turkey, UnitedKingdom, United States.

results and to have a real idea ofthis product and the real effect ithas on company turnover.

We must also consider that wehave entered a market with a pro-duct that has been used withoutcompetition for the past 40 years,and that we have completely revo-lutionized the market – withregards to costs, geometry, and soon. Of course, there is another

important fact to be consid-ered, as the blades are muchmore fragile and delicate toinstall and need careful handlingso as not to chip or scratch them.But once they have been installed,they can be forgotten about for atleast three or four months.

Clients of Turmond also includesome of the most important world-wide glassmaking and crystal man-ufacturing groups.”

What can you tell us about yourshear blades?

“We have four different types ofblades, with a code name as per thesize and geometry of the blade. Thesmallest, used for triple gob, is the130 x 70, cutting width 55; the sec-ond – 150 x 90, cutting width 75 –is for double gob, followed by the150 x 105, cutting width 90 andradius 8, and last but not least, 150x 105, cutting width 90 and radius18, both for single gob.

All these blades can be installedon any type of IS machine of anyworldwide manufacturer.

All types of blades are suppliedwith a special spacer that faci-litates ad speeds up installation,also reducing the danger of break-age during installation.

A further feature of all ourblades is their particular geometry,and this is what the patent is con-centrated on: cutting angles,drains, planarity, curved edges,and other features.”

Benefits: long working life and quality

“Some examples of the use andresistance of our blades can beseen, for example, in the manufac-ture of beer bottles: two weeks withsteel blades and seven months withTurmond tungsten carbide blades!And this gives the idea that even ifthe price of our blades is a lot high-er, the economic benefit is consi-derable and immediate.

A further advantage thanks to thislong working life can be seen duringlong production runs where the cost-

ly downtimes needed for bladechangeover are almost eliminated.

This difference in duration canalso be seen in particular produc-tion such as for crystal whereinstead of changing over the bladesevery two or three hours, they canlast 10 or 15 times more – meaningdays or sometimes even weeks.And in this second type of situa-tion, the blades have a consistentpayback in terms of quality andprecision, which remains the samefor the entire duration of the life ofthe blades.”

“When we started producing andcommercializing our shear blades,nobody knew who we were – but,thanks to word of mouth our com-pany name and our products arestaring to be recognized all over theworld – especially with regards tothe high quality of the product andthe glass they process.” ■

“We carriedout sometrials this

June with an internationalglassmaker, who gave us

the idea that using the samehard metal could be an interest-ing idea also for plungers. Weare now carrying out furthertests with other glassmakers tofind out if this product is feasi-ble. One of these glassmakinggroups was the same one thatcollaborated in the geometry ofour blades.The company is now testing asecond series of plungers andwe should be able to have theresults of these tests by the endof this year.However, the plungers were onshow at our stand at Glasstec,as we were also interested indiscussing this new type of pro-duct with glassmakers who werewilling to collaborate and testthem for us too, as well as to seewhat the market thought of them.Just think about the different inthe transmission of heat andresistance between the presentmarketed coated plungers andthe ones that we are testing madeentirely of tungsten carbide. Ourswill provide a real economicadvantage as they will be able towork for one to one and a halfmonths compared to the three orfour days with steel plungers.However, this is something we

are still working on.”

Plungers?

YES, PLUNGERS.

COMPANY ANNIVERSARY


A

Experience is always a principal request of

any firm, and more so when we are

speaking about a company of the glass

sector. In this article, RHI gives us some basic information on the 50-year

anniversary of its R&D Center in Austrial,, highlighting the milestones that

have enabled it to develop innovative refractory products and

processes over the years.

RHI art 23-11-2010 12:22 Pagina 35

HUNDREDS OF REFRACTORYINNOVATIONS AND PATENTS

Refractories innovations for thebasic industries have been devel-oped at the Technology Center ofRHI AG in Leoben for 50 years. In1960 the centre was officially pre-sented to the public as a researchinstitute of what was then VeitscherMagnesitwerke. The initial teamconsisted of 42 people. Leoben waschosen because of its central loca-tion and close proximity to theplants in Trieben, Veitsch andBreitenau, but also because it is sit-uated close to the University ofLeoben and the steel industry.

Previously the three plants hadoperated their own laboratories.

RESEARCHERS FROM MORETHAN 10 COUNTRIES

Today RHI is the global techno-logy leader with 31 production siteson four continents and has concen-trated its worldwide research anddevelopment activities in Leoben.More than 150 employees continu-ously work on the research and fur-ther development of existing refrac-tory products and raw materials instate-of-the-art industrial laborato-ries and test facilities. RHI investsroughly EUR 20 million per year inresearch and development, anabove-average amount in the indus-try. The federal and provincial gov-ernments provide financial supportfor the numerous research projects.

INTERNATIONALCOOPERATION – MULTIPLE AWARDS

The successful research activitiesin cooperation with customers,international research institutionsand universities, above all theUniversity of Leoben, have laid thefoundation for RHI AG’s excellentreputation in refractory technology.More than 500 patents and 1,500industrial property rights reflectthese intensive research activities.The Technology Center Leoben hasreceived multiple awards for the sci-entific papers of its research staff.

The Technology Center alsocomprises other important depart-ments, among them worldwide pur-chasing and logistics, quality man-agement, the technical departmentand production control.

CEREMONY WITH MORETHAN 250 GUESTS

RHI celebrated this anniversarywith current and former employ-ees, partners, customers, andguests from politics and businessat a ceremonial act on 15 October2010. In their speeches they par-ticularly emphasised the impor-tance of operations research anddevelopment for jobs and theindustry location Austria. Follow-ing the ceremony, the guests partic-ipated in a guided tour of theTechnology Center.

On the same day, more than 200students visited the Technology

Center and gained insight in thework areas during a tour of theTechnology Center where theylearned more about RHI’s refrac-tories world. The explanation that hardly any product used indaily life – from water glasses tomobile telephones – can be pro-duced without refractory productscaused an “aha-experience”among the students.

All in all, more than 1,350 visi-tors celebrated with RHI on thetwo days of the open house.

Guided tours of the TechnologyCenter also took place during anOpen House Day on 16 October. ■

Plant extension in Dalian: thirdtunnel kiln with state-of-the-artheat management; Increasedcapacity for the cement, glass,nonferrous metals and steel mar-kets; Improved delivery timesand more flexible production.

RHI AG, the world market leaderfor refractory products, increas-es its production capacity inChina by more than 20 per centto 270,000 tonnes. In lateSeptember, a third tunnel kilnwas successfully commissionedat the Dalian plant. RHI investedabout EUR 13 million, thus con-tinuing its growth strategy in theBRIC countries.“With this capacity extension weare strengthening our position inthe cement, glass, nonferrousmetals and steel segments. Weare cutting delivery times andincreasing flexibility in produc-tion,” Manfred Hödl, COO of theIndustrial Division, explains.

At its plants in Dalian andBayuquan, RHI produces firedbasic bricks, basic mixes, iso-statically pressed products aswell as magnesia carbon bricksand prefab components. Bothplants are supplied with rawmaterials from RHI’s Aoding siteto a considerable extent.

Apart from the 156-meter-longtunnel kiln, the new plant inDalian comprises crushers, mix-ers, two presses, packagingplants and warehouses. The tun-nel kiln was completed twomonths ahead of schedule andis equipped with speciallydeveloped heat management.The entire plant was internallyplanned and built by an RHIteam of some 100 people.

The manufacturingof hand-cut lead crystal plays animportant role in the production ofhigh quality tableware. For severalhundred years, lead crystal glass hasbeen a well-known attribute of luxu-ry and wellbeing. The production of

large lead crystal makers, such asSwarovski (Austria), WaterfordCrystal (Ireland), Steuben Glass(United States), Baccarat (France)and others, is world famous.

At the same time, there are manysmall lead glass manufacturers,who have more difficulties to main-tain their position on the market,while know-how costs are quite

high, homemade development ofhigh-quality solutions is frequentlydifficult, and quality standards ofthe market are growing.

Apart from the most common 24per cent PbO lead crystal, there arealso glass types with up to 65 percent of lead oxide and which areused as, for example, radiationshielding or lense material.

QUALITY LEADGLASS PRODUCTION

Glass Service (Italy) presents its

experience in the development and

construction of electric furnaces for

lead crystal glass (24% PbO)

production. The all-electric melting

tank of the furnace is combined with

the Working End, which is heated using

both gas and electricity. The furnace

is perfectly suitable for automatic

production and enables the

manufacture of a wide range of

different items thanks to its distribution layout and gathering bays design.

In this situation, Glass Service(Italy) has designed and built a fur-nace commissioned in autumn2010; which represents the latestdevelopment of electric furnaces.The 24 per cent PbO glass is gath-ered both manually and mechani-cally using the Glass Service (Italy)gathering robot. The furnace hasbeen built by clients’ craftsmen

under thorough supervision ofGlass Service specialists.

LEAD CRYSTAL GLASSFirst of all, lead crystal glass is

known for its glance caused by itsoptical density. The refractionindex of lead crystal is up to 1.7,while in the case of soda-lime glassit is about 1.5. The cutting of leadcrystal uses this effect to create adiamond-like play of light on theedges. At the same time, high trans-parency and absence of own colouremphasizes the effect. All theseoptical properties are importantboth in tableware production creat-ing a particular charm of crystalglassware, and in production ofoptical glass such as achromaticlenses. Among the properties,which are considered important intableware production, there are alsothe high density (≥2.9) caused bylead and, last but not least, specificsonority.

Properties that have directimpact on the production processare the low electric conductivityand low viscosity of lead crystalglass, both orders of magnitude

lower than those of ordinary glass,caused by the large ionic radius oflead Pb2+ (106 pm).

These above-mentioned proper-ties depend on several factors: firstof all, the chemical composition,chemical and physical homogene-ity, and absence of defects.

Production of lead crystal glassLead crystal glass production

leads us to a series of important fac-tors. Thus, the production of highquality lead crystal glass is a criti-cal issue due to the high lead con-tent. Among the basic difficultiesthat arise are:• high corrosion rate of fused cast;• high volatility of lead oxide

PbO; and• low viscosity resulting in high

penetration.To solve these problems, an

adapted furnace is required.Melting is a very important processin lead crystal glass production,since it is where glass homogeneitystarts. Efficient melting providesglass free of gaseous inclusionssuch as bubbles and cords, but alsosolid impurities such as stones.

pre-heating burners visible

Furnace under construction

Batch charger


Taking into account the importanceof chemical composition and puri-ty, as well as process control, thesituation could be summarized asfollows: “A good cook, good ingre-dients and a good pot are needed toprepare good soup”.

The concept of a “good pot”considers, first of all, high qualitymaterial, but also a proper systemof heating and control. The “pot”created by Glass Service (Italy) isan electric furnace designed in away to deal with the peculiarities oflead glass properties using minorconstruction improvements, whichcreate synergetic effects, resultingin high quality glass.

THE FURNACEMelting

The melting part of the furnaceis all-electric, with two sets of tinoxide electrodes used to introducethe current into the melting materi-al. The positioning of electrodesand electric linking offer uniformelectric energy distribution in thelayer of the incoming batch. Theconstruction of the melting tankuses perfectly ground high qualityfused cast material. The geometryof the melting tank is a result ofthorough development aimed atavoiding possible undesired effects,such as metallic lead formation,glass flow velocity in differentzones, etc. Temperature control isperformed using immersed thermo-couples, which allow for adequate

monitoring of the melting and fin-ing processes.

A critical passage in the move-ment of liquid glass is the throat,where mass ratio of the containedglass and the surface of heat trans-fer to the environment is rathersmall. Moreover, there are few pos-sibilities to heat up the glass in thispart, and, therefore, the booster hasbeen installed here.

The Working EndThe Working End design has

been developed with great attentionto deliver thermally homogeneousglass to gathering bays. The geo-metry of the distributor and thechannels was defined according tothe planned gathering layout,desired by the client. Combined gas+ electricity heating, along withoverflow system, stirrers and auxi-liary burners, offer constant glassquality resistant to the influence ofenvironmental conditions.

Thanks to the control system, allprocess parameters within the fur-nace can be easily adjusted accord-ing to client requirements.

Specific solutions used:• construction materials;• melting tank geometry;• melting tank heating system;• level measuring system com-

bined with the batch charger;• number of electric boosters and

relevant power;• Working End design;• combustion system;

• glass overflow;• auxiliary burners;• stirrers;• control system.

The furnace is highly efficientin terms of energy consumption,while heat loss is very low. Heat isemitted in the environment onlyfrom the working end, due to theflue gas flow, while almost allelectric energy is transferred to the glass. The control systemoffers a user-friendly and intuitiveinterface for process management.The furnace is perfectly suited for automatic production, andprocess control is reliable for man-ual production too. However, inthis case, correct work organiza-tion is required.

All-in-all, the solutions of GlassService (Italy) used in this furnacedesign resulted a significantincrease of transparency of leadcrystal glass using the same rawmaterials as before.

Based on this experience, GlassService (Italy) can offer an integralsolution for lead glass production.Moreover, the furnace design canalso be adapted to produce opal fluo-ride or borosilicate glass. This designconcept is also suitable for sometypes of special glass production.

In combination with automaticproduction lines, these furnaces canfit the needs of any manufacturer. ■

This year’s exhibition wasstaged as the world’s economy wit-nessed gradual recovery from thefinancial and economic crisis. Theeconomic upswing was alsoaccompanied by an increased will-ingness among hollow glass manu-

facturers to invest in the refurbish-ment, modernization and extensionof their facilities. “The trend wasclearly noticeable,” Preuß reports.Visitor interest in information thatcould influence impending invest-ment decisions was consequentlyhigh. “This year, customersapproached us with very specificideas, project requirements andeven preformulated project plans,”he adds. “In other words, the dis-cussions we engaged in were much

“We’re very pleased with theway the fair went this year,” Preußconcludes, mentioning the numer-ous interesting conversations androbust visitor numbers.

The fact that the exhibition wasslimmed down to four days alsohad a positive effect. “It was a goodidea to do away with the Saturday.The new concept was definitely asuccess,” Preuß claims, hoping thischange will turn out to be a perma-nent one.

PRODUCTS ON SHOWOnce again, futronic presented

its innovative technology at a jointstand in Hall 13, where theTettnang control system specialistproudly demonstrated its flag-ship product – the FMT24S – a dis-tributed control system for

IS machines with up to 24 sections.The FDU24S, a new servo drive

system that is set to make a bigmark owing to its maximum preci-sion when it comes to synchroniz-ing individual movement sequencesin gob generation and material han-dling processes in container glassmachines, made its debut before atrade audience. Using a servo take-out mechanism, futronic showedhow the drive works in combinationwith an FMT24S control system.

The exhibits at the futronicstand also included the ASDR2, areject system in a standalone ver-sion, the SPV24S, a standalonecontrol system for servo propor-tional valves that is also suitablefor retrofitting to older futroniccontrols or to third-party products,and the new opanski 2002 separa-tor manager, a warning system forlight liquid separators.

“FUTRONIC - AUTOMATION IS OUR LIFE”

Concluding the interview,Michael Preuss told us that: “Wehave been developing and manufac-turing electronic control systems formore than three decades. Based onour experience in a variety of indus-tries, we are in a position to offer abroad spectrum of proven solutions.As an ISO 9001-2000 certified com-pany and technology partner formany key sectors of the economy,we enjoy a reputation among ourinternational clients for quality, com-petence and dependability.” ■

GLASSTEC REPORT

Servo technology has long become an integral part ofindustrial production lines. Servo drives with high preci-sion and dynamics as well as compact motors with highpower density are crucial for flexible, efficient productionprocesses. Manufacturers in the container glass sectoralso became aware of the potential of servo technologysome time ago. Today, their interest is mainly focused onthe mechanisms of moulding processes. Yet how canthis technology be harnessed in a way that lets produc-tion oriented users manufacture more efficiently?

The solutionfutronic has now come up with a powerful answer - thenewly designed FDU24S (Flexible Drive Unit). All the ISmachine’s synchronized servo drive axes plus any groupof servo mechanisms for moulding containers are nowcombined under a single operator interface. The servofeeder, servo shear, servo gob distributor, machine con-veyor belt, belt height adjuster, ware transfer, cross con-veyor and servo stacker as well as the servo pusher,servo takeout and servo invert - to name but a few - areparameterised, monitored and optimised with just onecontrol. The FDU24S can work as a standalone system,or it can interact with the futronic IS machine control fam-ily or with equipment from third-party suppliers.

Meaningful integration helps simplify productionThe best results are achieved when the FDU24S teams upwith the FMT24S. The drive and the IS machine control -

the hardware and the software - are so closely inter-

woven that the operatorperceives the machineas a closed system. Alldata is consolidated,managed and visualizedon the control desk.Binary, analogue andservo valves can befreely combined and rep-resented in standardisedbar charts. Several newfeatures that were pre-viously no more than avision have now becomea reality. If a containermoulding event isassigned to a servomechanism, not only thetheoretical switch pointsare displayed but alsothe actual behaviour ofthe mechanism in realtime. For example, themechanism can thus becorrelated exactly withoptimized start and stop points during the productionprocess without ever leaving the workplace. Ramp offset,acceleration, deceleration and jerk limitation are furtherparameters that can be modified directly in the bar chart.Gob-moulding drive axes that require the close attentionof the user (e.g. the servo plunger and the servo shear).

ΣNTRODUCTIONRefractory selection for

glass furnace regeneratorchambers must recognize both

the functions of the refractories andthe operating environment withinthe chambers.

In particular, checkers and inter-nal separation walls function asheat exchangers, while crowns andexternal walls limit thermal losses.

The main operating factors to beconsidered are temperature, repeat-ed temperature cycling, air-borne particulates, volatiles and load.

Fuel and glass composition mustalso be considered when derivingthe refractory specifications.

We will analyze regeneratorchambers in a soda-lime glass fur-nace natural gas fired in the follow-ing zones:• Checkers;• Rider arches;• Crowns;• External walls;• Target walls;• Chamber separation walls.

CHECKERSAs heat exchangers, checkers

must have high thermal capacityand conductivity and from thispoint of view basic materials andfused cast refractories are the bestsolution.

The choice ofmaterial for furnacesis a fundamentalaspect of glassmelting and musttake intoconsideration aseries of functionsand the samefurnaceenvironment. In thisarticle, S.I.G.MA.leads us through thedifferent zones ofregeneratorchambers, takinginto considerationthe main operativefactors, providingthe suitable materialto be used at eachand every stage.

SIGMA art 23-11-2010 12:37 Pagina 45

However, refractory selectionalso depends on the operating con-ditions, which will be markedly dif-ferent at the checker top when com-pared to the bearer arch level.

Average temperature, particulatebuild up and condensation ofvolatiles will all be dependent onposition within the chamber.

Let us consider in detail checkerbehaviour in four zones:• Top zone: from the first row to

1,350°C;• Mid zone: from 1,350°C to

1,000°C;• Condensation zone: from

1,000°C to 700°C;• Lower zone: from 700°C to rider

arches.

TOP ZONEBasic refractories

High temperature combined withbatch carry over results in chemicalattack and gradual degradation ofthe basic checkers.

If refractories are MgO based,the chemical attack is governed bythe CaO/SiO2 ratio in the wastegases; if it is low (high silica) thefollowing chemical reaction occurs:

2MgO + SiO2 → Mg2SiO4(forsterite)

and the formation of forsterite,which has a higher volume com-pared to MgO, results in fissuresopening within the bricks.

Subsequently, silica penetratesthese fissures resulting in the fami-liar cubic breakdown of the uppercheckers as illustrated above.

If the CaO/SiO2 ratio in thewaste gases is ≥1, a liquid phaseenters into the refractory causingdeformation as you can see in thepicture above.

The best technical solution ishigh magnesia content refracto-ries, with well developed periclase(MgO) crystals and, importantly, a“direct bonded” structure: thismeans refractories fired at veryhigh temperature, thus obtaining ahigh percentage of periclase-peri-clase bonding and a reduced sili-cate phase.

Additionally, the refractories inthis area, in which redox variationoccurs, must have “low iron” toavoid FeO oxidation to Fe2O3 andvice versa (Fe2O3 reduction toFeO) with volume variations andresultant brick failure.

With a view to maintaining opti-mum conditions within the regen-erator top, an oxidized furnaceatmosphere should be maintained.A reduced atmosphere will resultin late combustion within theregenerator top and will adverselyaffect the checker performance.

Fused cast refractoriesFused cast refractories have no

surface porosity thus they are resis-tant to the corrosive effects of waste

gases and carryover and can beused in all the checker zones.

Compared to sintered refracto-ries they are more resistant to abra-sion due to their dense and homo-geneous structure thus they are suit-able for the top zone where there isa strong carry-over.

The recommended quality ishigh alumina for its very limitedglassy phase.

No glassy phase means no exu-dation therefore no excessive bond-ing with carry-over thus minimi-zing the risk of blockages.

MID ZONEThis zone is protected by the top

checker area and temperature levelis lower, thus 96 per cent MgO lowiron is the recommended quality.

In the case of a fused cast instal-lation, the recommended quality is32 per cent ZrO2 AZS (Alumina-Zirconia-Silica).

CONDENSATION ZONEAs with the top zone, this is

another critical area but for differ-ent reasons.

The waste gases contain alkalinesulphate and SO3 which will con-dense out in the 1,000-700°C range

tories made by periclase (MgO) andzirconia (ZrO2) having good resis-tance against Na2O and SO3.

When firing with natural gas, theSO3 quantity is low and basicrefractories can be used.

When fused cast material isused, the recommended quality isAZS refractory.

LOW ZONEExtending from the end of the

condensation zone to the rider arches.Super duty fireclay can be used

in non severe working conditions,otherwise, 90-92 per cent MgO isrecommended when firing by nat-ural gas.

Thirty-two per cent ZrO2 AZSfused cast refractories are also usedin this zone.

Rider archesRider arches must withstand

strong thermal shock due to rever-sals and severe load but at low tem-perature (600-700°C).

Fused cast and basic refractoriescannot be installed due to very lowthermal shock resistance, while sil-limanite and mullite are the recom-mended qualities.

CROWNS AND WALLSIntroduction

From a cost effectiveness standpoint, we will consider sinteredproducts as opposed to fused cast,although it is accepted that fusedcast materials are sometimes usedin the “target area”. This will bediscussed later.

CrownsIn making the choice between

Basic, Silica and Alumino Silicates,including Mullite, we have to con-sider their respective resistance tocreep and chemical attack.

CreepThe temperature level is very

important for the refractory choice.Basic refractories, due to their

cubic lattice, have limits in creepeven if they do not have a glassyphase but a high melted silicatephase. If the temperature is close to1,500°C and the material is under astrong compression, life limitingcreep will ensue.

As a consequence, basic refrac-tories can be used only if the oper-ating temperature is lower than1,500°C (1,460-1,480°C).

Note: C = CaO/M = MgO/S = SiO2

(higher quantity of sulphuricanhydride when using oil as afuel).

In presence of sodium sul-phate, the predominance of Na2Oor SO3 in the waste gases causesthe type of chemical attack.

Table 1 illustrates the differ-ent chemical reactions with per-iclase (MgO), dicalcium silicate(2CaO.SiO2) (a silicate phase ofbasic refractories), forsterite(2MgO* SiO2) and fireclays.

Periclase base refractoriesare not chemically attacked bysodium sulphate or sodiumoxide but they strongly reactwith SO3 forming MgSO4causing densification of thestructure.

The chemical attack,enhanced by the presence ofvanadium pentoxide whenusing fuel oil, breaks up therefractory and the structuredensification lowers thermalshock resistance.

Viable substitutes for chromebearing refractories, which havea high resistance to condensatesbut cannot be used for environ-mental reasons, are both thespinel (MgO*Al2O3) and refrac-

SIGMA art 23-11-2010 12:37 Pagina 47

Considering only creep resis-tance, silica is the best refractorybecause of its lack of glassy phaseand its different crystalline lattice,which avoids plane slipping.Furthermore, creep starts only attemperatures close to 1700°C.

Mullite is another quality suit-able for the crowns for its excellentcreep resistance.

Chemical reactionsBasic refractories have a very

good chemical resistance againstthe alkaline waste gases comingfrom the glass furnace, but they aresusceptible, but not limiting, tocarry-over enriched with silica andsubsequent forsterite formation atthe hot face.

This chemical reaction increas-es volume and leads structure to acollapse.

Basic refractories can be used inthe crowns temperatures lower than1,500°C (1,460-1,480°C).

Silica is not suggested forcrowns because condensation ofalkali in the colder zones of themasonry would lead to corrosion,loss of mass and also holes.

Mullite refractories react withalkali and carryover to form a series

of layers which prevent alkali pene-trating into the bulk of the refracto-ry and wear proceeds at a minimalrate (millimetres per year) whilethe thermo-mechanical propertiesare preserved.

Mullite is a good solution forcrowns but bricks must have a highmullite content (95-97 per cent);the crystallographic analysis mustshow only the phase:

3 Al2O3 * 2 SiO2as per the above graph.

External wallsLet us consider the walls in four

zones as with checkers:Top zone: from the crown skew-

backs to one meter under first rowof checkers;• Mid zone: from the end of the

top zone to 1,000°C;• Condensation zone: from

1,000°C to 700°C;• Lower zone: from 700°C to the

bottom.

TOP ZONEThe operating conditions are the

same as for the crown but withminor load.

Low iron basic refractories witha high periclase content and high-

grade mullite (95-97 per cent mul-lite) are suitable for this area.

As far as basic refractories areconcerned the operating tempera-ture must be under 1,500°C (1,460-1,480°C) to avoid creep.

Target wallProvided the target wall is

exposed to the same conditions asthe other top zone walls, then therefractory material will be as for therest of the top zone.

However, in the event the targetwall is subject to excessive wastegas impingement then AZS fusedcast material is recommended.

MID ZONECheckers protect the mid zone

wall. Temperature and load arelower compared to the top area,thus basic refractories with 95 percent MgO or a good mullite aresuitable for this area.

CONDENSATION ZONEChemical corrosion is not so

strong as in the checkers becausebricks are protected by the masonryand only one side is exposed to thechemical attack.

Load is higher than on the

Internal separation wallsThe dividing walls are fully

immersed in the high temperatureenvironment and therefore theoperating conditions are severe.

They must resist loading at hightemperature, and thus they musthave high values of refractorinessunder load and therefore highcreep resistance.

Basic materials are suitable with-in the temperature limits indicated inthe top zone (1,460-1,480°C), whiledifferent grades of mullite accordingto the different zones of the separa-tion wall can be used.

In the these figures, we show acase of a deformation and conse-quent collapse of the internal sepa-ration wall of an end-port furnacedue to operation temperature higherthan 1,500°C.

CONCLUSIONSThis article seeks to provide

guidance on the choice of refracto-

ries for regenerator chambers ser-ving natural gas fired furnaces pro-ducing soda lime glass.

Our recommendations recognizethe various functions required of thematerials and the operating environ-ment in the regenerator zones.

In particular we can cite fusedcast, direct bonded basic materials,alumina-periclase spinel, peri-clase-zirconia refractories andhigh grade of mullite (95-97 percent of pure mullite).

w Expertise in Quality ControlQuality continues to become more and more impor-tant. Producers of consumer goods care about thequality and consistency of their brand on a globallevel. Product safety and purity are major issues. TheHiSHIELD SmartLine has been developed as aninspection and sorting machine for the hollow glassproduction industry. The ongoing integration of the lat-est technology combined with robust electrics and anelectronic control system are characteristic of theSmartLine. Additional features include a graphic inter-face with touchscreen, servo drive technology and

machine speed of up to 400 items per minute.

Integration into the Heye International Information SystemThe SmartLine can be integrated into the HIS, which gives the user real-time data about the production process. Article defects can be attributedto mould numbers or IS-section numbers, giving the user detailed informa-tion on weak points and potential improvements. Of course, the HIS offersthe option of remote maintenance.Additionally, it is possible to integrate control systems from other manufac-turers. There is also the option to connect line information systems, jamsensors and additional outfeeds.

Flexible inspection optionsThe cold-end inspection line can be configured in different ways.Depending on the customers requirements, various qualities of the pro-duct can be controlled: • Planarity (flatness) and tightness• Height / inside and outside gauging• Checks of the finish• Checks of the bottom• Checks in the body (with LED white light or laser)• Wall thickness inspection (with contact and optical-non contact)• External wall thickness inspection (optical-non contact)• Defects of the finish (LOF - line over finish)• Ovality in the body (with contact and optical-non contact)• Mould number reading (dot code)• Mould number reading (digital code)• External mould number reading (dot code)

Speed and FlexibilityThe application of servo technology results in a high degree of flexibility.Fast and easy changes of the item number and optimal use of the servotorsional moment for up to four rotation stations are possible. Optimizedmotion sequences allow faster reactions to changing process parameters.

Fast article changeThe infeed screw parameters are saved in a master data file and are there-

fore always reproducable. The changeover time is shortenedas the calibrations are carried out by the software; very fewadditional mechanical adjustments are necessary.The maximum article height is 400 mm; angular, oval andround containers can be processed. The relationshipbetween machine speed (up to 400 bottles per minute) andarticle diameter is shown in the following table:• Innovations have to stand the test of time. This is

achieved by use of robust industrial electronics and aclimate-controlled electrics and electronics compart-ment, together with high quality components.Operational usability is enhanced by a 17” touchscreenmonitor, easy access to all electronic components andan extricable mounting plate for frequency inverters andservo controllers. The operator is protected by a micro-processor-controlled safety module.

on obtaining good results thatwe can provide to our clients.

A special part of ourinvestments is dedicated to

our new brand strate-gy and its three differ-ent sub-brands.

This is the Hibrand: HiTRUST,HiPERFORM andHiSHIELD.

HiTRUST regardsthe "Soft" items in our product port-folio: The ability to design, com-bine, to engineer, install, to start upand hand over a complete plant builtand designed to latest standards,managed by a professional projectmanagement team. The ability toprovide ongoing management, pro-duction or operational assitance tothose who started up a new plant ora new process and also to those whowant to develop their companies tomost modern international stan-dards. Operational assistance, train-ing and impartial consultancy in all

different sectors of the manufactur-ing process are the main colums ofTechnical Assistance.

With regards to inspection sys-tems, we have HiSHIELD, which“protects” glassmakers from theproblems that could arise makingthe glass items – with quality con-trol, speed and flexibility. This isparticularly important as glass ismostly used as packaging materialfor highly senitive food productsand those products need highestprotection through bottles or jarsmanufactured and inspected withhighest care.

The third Hi brand isHiPERFORM, applied to ISmachines and corresponding equip-ment, ensuring higher speed informing repeatability, as well ashigher productivity figures too.

And, of course, we must not for-get about new strategy and newmarket approach – other importantaspects of development that areon-going at Heye International.

And how is Heye Internationaldoing this?

Dirk PörtnerWe are focussing on high-per-

forming machinery, we arefocussing on clients, who are pro-ducing with this high performanceand high technological level, andwe are also focussing on clientswho are moving towards reachingthat stage. And so we are not justdedicated to those who are alreadyusing this type of technology, butwe are also working with those whowant to reach these high levels.

We are seeing more and moreclients in so-called "emergingcountries" who are challengingthemselves to reach the highestlevel of productivity and qualityrequested from the worldwidemarket right now. In fact, thesecountries are requested higher andhigher levels of quality and produc-tivity of course, and companiesthere are working very hard to beable to satisfy these requests.

Brazil for example has alreadyreached the international level,India is moving, is moving very fastto reach the international levels asfar as quality is concerned.

China, for example, is the largestproducer of beer in the world! Andso it is a must for the glassmakingsector to have the standards requiredinternationally also with regards toglass consumption per person.

Another positive aspect for theglass sector at the moment is theimportant interest of the generalpublic in health and in the environ-ment, which is also bringing posi-tive results as far as the use of glassis concerned. Glass is playing andimportant role in the general pub-lic’s view of what is healthy andwhat is natural.

We carried out a customer surveyand the results were that quality isthe top priority for almost everyone.

So where do your machines fit inwith their energy consumption?

Energy consumption, pollutionand a clean environment are being

studied and worked on continu-ously by Heye International.Aspects such as oil spillage andconsumption are dealt with bymeans of a new device that we are presenting right here atGlasstec – which reduces the oilconsumption of a machine byabout 80 per cent – our IntelligentCentral Lubrication, as well asModular Valve Blocks which,thanks to their sophistcated fluidmechanics, need less pressure –and so less energy.

Quality, reliability, trust, protec-tion and the environment – quite alot of important aspects!

And there are many moreaspects to work on and study – allgrouped together under customerorientation.

Energy savingsMark ZieglerAnd what also came from a

recent customer service survey isthat energy is a big issue for mostpeople. In any case, Heye

Flexibility in ProductionIn the past, if glassmakers needed to produce smaller quantities of a differ,the entire IS Machine had to be stopped and switched to other articles. Thedowntime was very costly with negative effects on the production efficiency.Also more moulds than really necessary had to be procured per article. Heye International now provides the solution: together with the HeyeInternational Servo Drive Control Unit, the servo plunger and dual motorshear, gobs of different weights can be produced on the same IS Machine- all at the same time.

Unique AdvantagesWhat differentiates the Heye International solution from others is thatplunger and shear are “working together”. Every gob is used, no energyis wasted. The handling and operation are very simple, clear and need lit-tle time to achieve the desired result.Like this, the normal “main” part of the production is not affected.

Benefits:With the Heye International Servo Drive Control Unit you can benefit inmany ways:

A Winning TeamAdvantages of the Heye International Servo Drive Control are, for example,reproducible motion profiles and an easy integration of additional servo axes.

Advantages of the servo plunger• Usable on all feeder sizes and types• Production speed of up to 250 cuts per minute• Easy operation and maintenance• Reproducible motions• Parameter settings via dialogue• Nearly maintenance-free operation

Advantages of the dual motor shearsBlade motion at right angles to the centre line at the time of the cut.Constant gob weight through reproducible, preselectable motion profiles.Production speed of up to 250 cuts per minute.Long lifetime of shear blades and shear mechanism.Virtually maintenance-free operation.

• Save time and money on mainproduction

• Less downtime• Several different articles per

machine• Fewer job changes for the

complete IS-Machine• Fewer moulds for each article

required

• Production speed of up to 250cuts per minute

• Easy operation and maintenance• Reproducible motions• Parameter settings via dialogue• Nearly maintenance-free opera-

tion• Advantages of the dual motor

International has already beenworking on some of these situationsfor a couple of years – starting withlubrication, for example.

This can also take place withservo technology that moves awayfrom the use of compressed air toelectrical movement of the devices.But we are not only speaking aboutthe energy to run the machines, butalso that to melt the glass as well asto cool it. This gives an indicationof how important energy is in thisindustry.

Another way of saving energy isthat of not wasting glass and opti-mized productivities are for suregiving the highest value backthrough energy saving.

Vision systemsWhat about new products? What

do you have on show here at the fair?The new products that we have

on show here regard the lubricationsystems, valve blocks, and inspec-tion features – which is the high-light of Heye International’s show –and the Ranger – which, as its namesays, covers a wide range of diversi-fied production and is a break-through in the industry with regardsto inspection of bottles for example.The Ranger facilitates greatly the

work of those who pre-viously hadto continuously change and readjustthe check parameters for each dif-ferent type and size of bottle. Infact, Ranger makes about 2,100photographic images using just onecamera during a single rotation ofthe bottle, which is quite a movefrom the previous check detectionsystems, with about 15 sensors and lights that needed to be continuously changed and modifiedas per the size and shape of the itemto be manufactured.

Flexibility in productionOther solutions also include our

assortment production whichenables a machine to produce differ-ent types of containers on the samemachine by means of differentweight using mechanical and elec-tronic solutions in range that goesfrom 380 grams for example, up to425 grams and more. This meansthat according to the information itreceives from the control unit, it cancalculate how much glass it has tocut and therefore create a larger orsmaller container as required – at thesame time as the forming of othertypes and sizes of containers –extremely important for specialityproducts and test runs, but also for

manufacturers who do not want toinvest in too many moulds and haveshort job runs.

This means that thanks to thisServo Drive Control Unit, the ISmachine can produce differentitems at the same time without anydowntimes requested.

What about the speed of themachine? Does this diversificationhave any effect of how fast the bot-tles are produced?

Of course, you must optimizethe speed of the machine adapting itto the range of bottle sizes. In fact,the speed of the machineis the reason why youcannot have such a bigdifference in size. Thismeans that, for exam-ple, with a ten-sectionmachine making four

Assortment production

HiSHIELD Ranger cameracheck detection system

Servotakeout

Heye art 26-11-2010 14:09 Pagina 55

different bottle sizes, you adjust themachine speed to be able to pro-duce them.

What about future developments?What will Heye International beworking on after Glasstec?

Thanks to our long-term devel-opment programme, we alreadyhave quite a good idea of what wewant to have ready for the nextshows and we know exactly wherewe want to go! This is the same forall those working in the industry.

Of course a product can only beput on show when it has been thor-oughly tried and tested under ‘hot’working conditions. Live testing istherefore carried out at one of theplants part of our large ArdaghGlass Group.

At the same time, this companyactually provides us with feedbackwith regards to developments andimprovements that can be requestedby glassmakers.

All this takes about two or threeyears at least before we can presentthe product to the public.

And now, coming out of the cri-sis period, which Heye Inter-national went through quite well,the company is starting to look fornew people to grow even more andexpand its activities! ■
