Pack-to-melt yield, furnace campaign life, job changes: glassmaking has its own laws of performance. We know them from the inside — as our 23 published technical articles on glass and furnace refractories demonstrate.
Container glass, flat glass, technical glass: glassmaking performance rests on KPIs that few consultants understand — pack-to-melt yield (each point is worth hundreds of thousands of euros per furnace per year), furnace campaign life (the heaviest capital investment on site), job change times on IS lines, hot-end and cold-end losses. Our dual expertise — operational excellence AND furnace refractories — covers the complete equation. A typical assignment: at a European glassworks, analysing cold-end losses and improving the reliability of inspection machines significantly raised their pack-to-melt yield. Our 23 technical articles on glass (refractory-related defects, furnace corrosion, electrofusion and more) document this expertise.
Campaign life, refractory corrosion, specific energy consumption: the health of the furnace determines everything — and our refractory expertise addresses it directly.
Hot-end losses, cold-end breakage, false inspection rejects: we break the yield down and tackle each loss at its root.
SMED logic applied to IS lines and feeders: markedly shorter changeover times in reference cases, and commercial flexibility regained.
