The System 500 forehearth was specifically designed to achieve the best glass thermal homogeneity over the widest operating range with optimum fuel efficiency, and with more than 600 worldwide installations to date its ability to achieve these objectives is well proven.

Key Features:

• Direct, hot face longitudinal cooling maximises the cooling efficiency and cooling capacity of the forehearth.
• Separate, automatically controlled, combustion and cooling dampers allow separate exhausting of combustion products and cooling air, maximising the effectiveness and efficiency of both functions
• Automatic control of the dampers and cooling air inlet volume ensures a positive internal forehearth temperature is maintained.
• PSR sub-zoning concept maximises the cooling capacity of forehearth.
• Based on operating details, we design systems to the optimal configuration, providing guarantees of the glass thermal homogeneity, temperature stability and fuel consumption to be achieved.

As illustrated in the case study below, PSR’s forehearths have proven that they can reduce fuel consumption in the forehearth by around 35%.

As illustrated in the case study below, PSR’s forehearths have proven that they can increase thermal homogeneity, glass throughput and overall pack rates.
