Question:
Please, detail the construction of new glass plant. Which benefits will it provide for the enterprises who are the customers of glass containers and for the Ukrainian economy on the whole?
Answer:
There will be erected high-performance, state-of-the-art-type glass forming production lines, which consist of 10 section IS-machines for BB production (Blow-and-Blow process) and for NNPB production. In addition, there will be installed the precision guided electronic equipment produced by HEYE International GmbH company. A new up-to-date furnace which meets the latest requirements of science and technology in engineering will be build up. The furnace can be put in automatic operation with the complete monitor system. Quality control of automatic lines will also be provided for the production quality control.
A new technology NNPB technology (Narrow Neck Press and Blow) will be applied in a serial production at the new plant for the first time in Ukraine. It differs from other technologies by the process of pressblowing. Blow-and-Blow process is usually used in production of narrow-neck containers (bottles), whereas for the production of wide neck glass containers (jars) – NNPB pressblowing process. NNPB is a the type of the pressblowing used for the narrow-neck production.
NNPB technology bottles have their own differential characteristics: an absence of so-called «settle wave» on a bottle body and an occurrence of «spots» (mostly – on a shoulder area of a bottle), which remains from a vacuum, applied in NNPB technology.
The implementation of NNPB technology makes it possible to decrease the weight of glass significantly and to guarantee distribution of glass over a bottle sidewall surface in the forming process. This makes a bottle stronger and minimizes breakage on the filling lines.
Dear Sir or Madam! Thank you very much for the question. Construction of a new glass production plant was started on the territory of Merefa Glass factory under the direction and technology of the company HEYE International GmbH, Germany in 2006 year. HEYE International GmbH is one of the leading world manufacturing companies of machinery and know-how in glass container industry.
There will be erected high-performance, state-of-the-art-type glass forming production lines, which consist of 10 section IS-machines for BB production (Blow-and-Blow process) and for NNPB production.
