HORN^® provides individual and tailor-made e-Fusion boosting systems:

• Melting boosting with side or bottom electrodes
• Barrier boosting
• Refining boosting
• Throat boosting
• Feeder boosting

These effects are:

• Increased melting output of the aggregate
• Improved glass quality
• More efficient utilisation of fossil energy sources
• Emissions reduction   
• More stable and flexible production
• Accelerated re-melting processes in case of colour changes
• Quicker change between the different products

The e-Fusion electric boosting system is a complete stand-alone system ready for operation and consists of:

• Electrodes and water-cooled electrode holders along with accessories, e.g. piping and cables
• Transformer units, e.g. single-, two-, or three-phase aggregates or thyristor controlled transformers
• Fully automatic instrumentation and control system
• Power and control cables
• Cooling water cycle with flow control station

When designing the e-Fusion boosting system HORN^® applies the latest technical aids as well as its comprehensive experience in e-Fusion boosting system installations. The effect of the e-Fusion boosting system can be simulated via modern software on computers before starting with the detailed planning and manufacturing of the equipment.

• Increased melting output and stabilisation of the glass flow
• Reduced emissions
• Increased glass quality
• Retroactive installation in melting ends already operating
• Prevention of critical situations in case of pull change
• Increased re-melting process
• Computer Modelling – establishing optimal dimensions and positioning of the e-Fusion boosting system
