WORKING END & FOREHEARTHS

Working End & Forehearths
Engineered as a Complete System.

GLINDCO engineers glass-conditioning systems to connect furnace output with the exact thermal and flow requirements of the forming process. Working-end and forehearth design considers pull distribution, colour, gob temperature, residence time, cooling authority, combustion zoning and production flexibility.

Each system is developed from the actual plant duty, production objective, available utilities, operating philosophy, site conditions and maintenance strategy. GLINDCO coordinates component selection, layouts, interfaces, controls, installation requirements and commissioning so the equipment performs as part of one integrated glass plant.
