Batch Charging Technology

We are the most experienced provider for batch charging technology with a consultancy service that’s second to none, offering a wide range of standard and bespoke charging solutions to match all your requirements.

The addition of raw materials to the melting furnace is critical in the glass-making process. Problems during this stage can significantly impact production efficiency, operating costs and business profitability.

Key areas of consideration for charging systems: furnace and glass types, raw materials and melting profiles, product and required quality, personnel and energy availability.

Re-engineered Parts

European glass companies are currently experiencing supply chain issues. Glassworks Hounsell have the solution to this problem, being able to re-engineer bespoke parts to drawings supplied or from a physical part supplied.

Tin Oxide Electrodes

You can use our Stannex Tin Oxide Electrodes for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, you can apply their use to many different types of furnace and glass. For example, you can use them in Melting, Boosting and Refining.

At Glassworks, we pride ourselves in our cutting-edge manufacture and technical expertise. So, you are guaranteed to receive exceptional value.  The furnace, forehearth or feeder channel life is often compromised. By choosing our pure, isostatically-pressed Stannex Tin Oxide Electrodes, connector systems, perfected connector systems and expert design all uncertainty is removed.

We manufacture all connector systems for Rod and Block electrons in-house. Also, we pair our connector systems to the electrode.
