Glass Applications
Microporous thermal insulation can deliver significant benefits in terms of environmental, economic, social and operational impacts in applications in the glass industry.
Significant energy savings can be achieved, at the same time contributing to a safer workplace, cooler ambients and providing operational efficiencies.
Glass Applications Benefits
In the demanding world of glass production, precision, consistency, and thermal stability are essential to maintaining both product quality and operational efficiency. Siltherm Panel CS has been engineered specifically to meet these challenges, offering reliable high‑performance insulation for a wide range of proprietary feeder bowl designs—including well‑known systems from Mitchel, Emhart, and Maul.
Each installation is supplied as a fully customised kit, tailored to the exact dimensions and performance requirements of your equipment. This ensures seamless integration, reduced heat loss, and enhanced control over the glass‑conditioning process—supporting smoother operations and longer‑lasting performance across your manufacturing line.
Key Applications and Benefits for Glass Processes
Forehearth and Working End for Float Glass
Products:
Siltherm Board >
Siltherm Panel >
BENEFITS:
Optimisation of heat distribution and homogenization of glass viscosity, resulting in increased production rates, defect reduction and improved quality. Larger capacity achievable within the same chamber due to thinner insulation needs and energy savings through efficient thermal engineering.
Feeder Bowl Kits (FBKs) for Container Glass
Products:
Siltherm Panel CS >
(Designed to all manufacturers specifications)
BENEFITS:
Kits are tailored to fit individual feeder bowl geometries, simplifying installation and reducing downtime. Optimisation of heat distribution and homogenization of glass viscosity allowing for maximum production efficiency, increased capacity potential through thinner insulation, energy saving through heat loss.
Launders
Products:
Siltherm Panel >
Siltherm Board >
BENEFITS:
Launder insulation to maintain glass viscosity and prevent premature cooling, ensuring the correct flow of molten glass to gob feeders in container glass, and, guiding glass at the correct viscosity to the tin bath in float glass lines.
