Measurement and Controlequipment
 
The technological condition of a glass melting plant´s control system determines the plant´s financial feasibility as well as the quality of the glass produced. A side from the most modern visualisation software used to support the inspection of the melting process, HORN has developed products such as the OPTIBEAM; the internationally appoied laser glass level control system.
HORN offers functional units for miscellaneous requirements, primarily:

MCC (Motor Control Cabinet) and -electronic within the low voltage range

Measurement and control technology

Control aund automation technology

Process supervision technology
 

 

To control and govern the complex technological glass melting process, HORN has developed a four-level operational concept. The aim is to display technical parameters in the clearest and most user-friendly way and at the same time achieve the highest possible safety level.

Process supervision and visualisation
PLC - levels with independent operating units
Back-up hardware levels
Manual operation level
 

 

HORN furnaces are fitted with individual measurement and control equipment, the main elements of which govern and control the following operating parameters:

Glass levels
Furnace pressure
Temperature
Measurement of the Oxygen and CO2 in the furnace atmosphere (Optional)
Furnace camera
