E-Forehearth

Product catalog summary
Overview: The E-Forehearth has been developed to enhance glass control, particularly for NNPB production, focusing on a new control system, reliability through redundancy, re-engineering of combustion and cooling systems, and a refractory superstructure.
New Control System:
  • Features a touch-screen operator interface displaying the controlled forehearth.
  • Supervisor controls up to three independent regulator instruments per zone.
  • Allows individual control of left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) firing in each zone.
  • Capable of controlling up to five forehearths with five zones each and one working end with eight zones, with stored production recipes to minimize downtime.
Reliability through Redundancy:
  • Equipped with twin CPUs and dual Can-Bus channels for data transmission, ensuring reliability and automatic switch-over in case of failure.
  • Software flexibility allows reassignment of temperature detection in case of thermocouple failure.
Refractory Superstructure:
  • Dual cooling systems: direct cooling on the glass surface and/or indirect cooling through an overhead tunnel.
  • Independent adjustment of two cylindrical exhaust stacks is possible.
  • Structural integrity is maintained by newly designed roof blocks supported by lintels and lateral members.
  • Glass contact channel blocks are made from material with 99% alumina content.
Re-engineering of Combustion and Cooling Systems:
  • Features two oversized ventilators, one operational and one standby, with manual dampers for air distribution.
  • Allows air stream feeding to direct or indirect cooling ducts, reducing changeover time.
  • New designs significantly reduce field installation activity, completion time, and costs.

T ouch-screen operator interface that showing the ACTUALLY CONTROLLED FOREHEARTH S upervisor controlling in each zone up to 3 independent regulator instruments I ndividual control in each zone of the LH and RH separate independent firing. S ystem enabling to control up to 5 forehearths with 5 controlled zone and one Working End with 8 controlled zones. Storage of memorized production recipes helps the operators to reduce down times.

“Redundancy” as assurance of reliability • • T win CPU and dual Can-Bus channel for data transmission ensure total reliability and guarantee the automatic switch-over in case of failure F lexibility of the system software in the management of inputs allows in case of failure of one thermocouple to assign the t° of another t° detection instrument until its replacement

Re-engineering of the combustion and cooling systems • • Refractory Superstructure • • • • • Direct cooling I mproved engineering of the combustion and cooling systems: two oversized ventilators, one operational and one as stand-by, are always available. E ach ventilators unit features separate manual dampers for the blown air with option to feed the air stream to the direct cooling, to the indirect cooling ducts or to both of them. This allows a remarkable reduction of the time needed during changeovers. N ewly designed systems are greatly contributing to achieve a dramatic reduction of field...
