UK-based manufacturer Rockwell Automation has installed a float glass line for PFG Building Glass, one of the only manufacturers of float and patterned glass in sub-Saharan Africa. The production line, which is the company's second at its plant in Springs, near Johannesburg, forms part of an upgrade project to double capacity. The float line has been designed to function continuously for 15 years and standardised as far as possible using Rockwell Automation products.
