Brazil-based brewing company Ambev is to build a sustainable container glass plant in Carambei in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The plant will produce bottles for renowned brands such as Stella Artois, Beck’s and Spaten. Additionally, it will supply Ambev breweries located across several states, including Paraná.
The premium glass melting technology provider HORN Glass Industries will equip the new plant with a technologically advanced and environmentally friendly glass-melting furnace with an output of 400 tonnes/day, together with three forehearths for glass conditioning. It will manufacture container bottles in flint, amber and green. HORNs E-fusion power-boosting technology will allow the furnace to produce the maximum pull on all three colours with 6% or even up to 20% electrical share. Furthermore the furnace will be capable of operating on either natural gas, LPG or biofuels.
The HORN will be responsible for the supply of the container glass furnace, all refractory materials, steel construction, E-fusion power boosting, auxiliary equipment, supervision, manpower for construction and tools for installation and commissioning.
