Glass Conditioning Flexibility And The New Emhart Glass 340 Forehearth

In 2002, Emhart Glass launched an advanced forehearth development programme to provide the glass container industry with a highly flexible glass conditioning system. The goal of this programme was to exceed the cooling and heating capabilities of the current crop of forehearth products. Staff from Emhart studied the various designs that are used throughout the industry, reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of each technology. In the end, the company introduced a new forehearth product that exceeds the current standards with increased operational performance and fuel efficiency.
