Current forehearth control systems are relatively primitive, being very much the same as they were more than 20 years ago. Although they are basically automated systems, in that temperatures are maintained at a given value, these systems actually require a significant amount of manual intervention to establish the basic set up of the forehearth, to optimise operation and to correct for changes in external operating conditions.
