Mexican Forehearth Colouring Success

The Nueva Fabrica Nacionale de Vidrio (Fanal) glass container plant near Mexico City has recently installed a Ferro forehearth colouring system. Part of Grupo Modelo, home of the internationally renowned Corona Extra beer, Fanal has been a key customer for Ferro decorative enamels for many years. Recognising the added value potential of Ferro's foreherath colouring technology, the glass maker took the opportunity to install a colouring line as part of a recent forehearth rebuild programme. Ferro helped with the design of the line and supplied its standard equipment package, including refractory stirrers and colourant feeding system. Its engineers were on hand to oversee the plant's commissioning and start up during Q4 2011.
