From Concept To Design Verification - The Emhart Glasss 340 Forehearth Demonstrates Impressive Flexibility

In 2002, Emhart Glass launched an aggressive program to develop an advanced forehearth that would provide the glass container industry with a highly flexible glass conditioning system. The goal of this development program was to exceed the cooling and heating capabilities of the current level of forehearth products. To this end, Emhart studied the various designs that are used throughout the industry, reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of each technology. In the end, Emhart has designed a new forehearth product that exceeds the current standards with increased operational performance and fuel efficiency.
