The molten glass falls into a jet and is projected with water at very high pressure through the channel. The mixture, hot water/glass, is separated in the scraper. The glass falls into a metallic bay where it can be picked up by a bugger and consequently recycled as cullet. The hot water (+/-98°C) is channelled through various tanks for cooling and decantation. In the last stage, the water passes a cooling tower and finally is pumped back to the jet. The complete closed circuit only needs water to replace the one lost by evaporation, making this system perfect for situations where water availability is scarce. The Hotwork International System is suitable for all furnace designs and allows very fast furnace drainings with minimum water loss.
The service can include:
ZAC Plate installation
Plugging the hole after draining
Special and dark glass draining
Installation of Cullet Bay in front of scraper
Complete Electrical Setup with own equipment and more.
