A One-Step Forming Process For The Glass Container Industry

The glass industry is facing many problems of which probably the most decisive aspects are the reduction of energy and emissions. A strategic answer is a one-step forming process for high mechanically resistant, thin glass containers. Beside an increase in the mechanical properties, the stabilisation of the container production process is a major task together with some new developments such as a combined press and blow process. The advantages arising from this overall process will benefit other sectors of the glass industry.
