RATH at Glassman Latin America 2024: How to maximize the service life of feeder expendables by avoiding typical installations errors

ADVERTISEMENT

In the container glass industry, minimizing machine downtimes is a top priority in order to achieve high productivity. The use of high-quality refractory materials in forehearth and feeder mechanisms is of great importance in this context. All RATH refractories are formulated from the highest quality raw materials and designed to achieve predictable density and resistance to erosion and corrosion. However, the correct installation of the feeder expendables is also crucial to good refractory performance: Feeder expendables are sensitive, high-purity and fragile products, and must be installed according to the refractory manufacturer’s guidelines to avoid typical installation errors that lead to machine downtimes.  
 
Would you like to learn more? Robert Nusszer, Head of Sales Glass, RATH Group, and a proven expert on refractories for the glass industry will share his extensive knowledge on how the service life of feeder expendables can be maximized from a refractory perspective in his expert lecture at Glassman Latin America (May 15-16).
