Horn has repaired a 260tpd end-fired furnace at Vetropack’s Straža site in Croatia. Horn originally built the furnace back in 2004, and at the beginning of 2015 it was due for repair. The furnace produces three different glass colours: olive, green and amber. Vetropack Group is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of glass packaging for beverages and food. In Straža the company is not only a supplier to the Croatian domestic market, but also a key exporter to neighbouring markets in Slovenia, Italy, Hungary, Bosnia, Serbia and other countries in south-eastern Europe. The complete combustion system has been changed over to the latest technology, as Horn supplied the individual burner control combustion system with the latest DualFlame AC burners. In addition, all the gas stations and burners at the distributor and forehearth have been changed to a modern combustion system, using independent left and right control of the temperature in each cooling section of the forehearths.
