, HORNHORN supplies state-of-the-art glass production facility to Gerresheimer
On behalf of Gerresheimer, glass melting technology specialist HORN upgraded one of the two furnaces to the latest low-CO2 glass melting technology within four months from January 2025. The new, state-of-the-art oxy-hybrid furnace for the plant in Lohr am Main will produce container glass much more sustainably in the future and further increase the proportion of high-value products at the Lohr site. The new furnace is equipped with the proven HORN oxyfuel technology in conjunction with the company's own e-Fusion Power Boosting as hybrid technology.
The replacement of the furnace for white glass with a state-of-the-art oxy-hybrid furnace reduces CO2e emissions by up to 40% compared to a furnace with conventional technology and features the latest production technologies with environmentally friendly cooling. The new furnace has a higher capacity and can operate with up to 50% electricity.
