PROMEOS® FOREHEARTH HEATING SYSTEM

Uniform temperature control of molten glass from the forehearth to the forehearth spout. Side-mounted flameless line burners from promeos® provide precisely controlled heat throughout the entire forehearth channel with no hot spots, no open flames, and no localized overheating of the melt. Forehearth heating, developed with Heatelligence®.

HOW IT WORKS

The promeos® Forehearth Heating System combines flameless gas combustion, side-mounted line burners and continuously modulating heat output. It transforms forehearth heating into a precisely controlled thermal process with uniform temperature distribution, thermal homogeneity and process intelligence. This is Heatelligence® by promeos®.

01

Flameless Heat Transfer

A flameless reaction at the burner surface provides uniform radiant heat without localized flame impingement or hot spots.

02

Side-mounted Integration

promeos® line burners are integrated into existing forehearth structures to create a uniform temperature profile throughout the entire forehearth up to the forehearth spout.

03

Continuously Modulating Heat Output

The burner output continuously adapts to process demand, maintaining stable glass temperatures for consistent production and high product quality.
