Glassmaking is complex, time-taking and energy consuming. In fact, to produce high-quality glass items, a great deal of energy is used to melt the raw materials, maintain the molten glass at the correct temperature, and then to cool down the finished items. The industry is continuously looking for ways to reduce energy consumption - changing fuel, machinery and speed of production. However, according to French-based machinery maker, Athena, now it seems that there is a sure way of reducing energy consumption, as detailed in this article.
