DISTRIBUTOR GCS® SERIES 100

GENERAL

 

DESIGN
  • Higher superstructure at the entrance zone – crown execution
  • Flat cover blocks at downstream zones
  • Optimally calculated distances from the furnace centreline to each forehearth to minimise the risk of glass flow short-circuiting and to optimise the forehearth entrance temperature
  • Differentiated control sections for accurate temperature adjustment

 

DIMENSIONS
  • Width individually customised depending on total pull, required temperatures and residence time
  • Length individually customised to available space, number and arrangement of forehearths
  • Depth individually customised depending on total pull, required temperatures, residence time and glass colour

 

COOLING SYSTEMS
  • Several natural or forced cooling systems are available which are adapted to the design of each distributor:
  • Radiation openings
  • Direct cooling system (individually adjustable)
STEEL WORK
  • Assembly of the forehearths follows conventional design
  • Substructure refractories are enclosed in steel casings
  • Braced frames support the superstructure

 

REFRACTORIES
  • Designed to meet modern technical requirements to achieve optimal thermal homogeneity combined with minimum energy requirement
  • Channel blocks of zircon mullite, fused cast AZS or alumina material
  • Forehearth superstructure in sillimanite material and premium insulating refractory materials

 

CORA® MIXTURE HEATING SYSTEM
  • Constant air/gas Ratio
  • Safety switch-off system (in accordance with DIN EN 746-2)
  • Automatic lambda control (optional)
  • Preassembled skids for easy installation including pipework
  • Used at distributors and forehearths (GCS® Series 200 and 301-advanced)
COOLING EQUIPMENT FOR DISTRIBUTORS AND FOREHEARTHS
  • Customised cooling fan layout
  • Alternatively two central cooling air fans for all air cooling systems, one in operation and one as stand-by
  • Radiation and/or flue gas openings can be operated manually or automatically

 

MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEM
  • Fully automatic temperature control loops in each zone
  • Spout heating can be controlled manually or automatically
  • Different types of temperature measurements (thermocouples or pyrometers) are available for each zone
  • Grid-measurement in equalising zone with K-factor calculation, according to Emhart 9 point formula
  • All measuring and control instrumentation housed in a completely assembled and wired control panel

FEATURES

  • “Blind” connection possible for the subsequent installation of an additional forehearth
  • Opening for the glass level measuring device
  • Tailor-made for optimised pre-conditioning of the glass
  • Different cooling systems are available and adapted to the specific requirements
