Tubes and Rods Production
Tailored Platinum systems for glass tubes, rods and pharmaceutical glass production
EMP-Glass designs and manufactures systems for Danner and Vello production process used in the manufacture of glass tubes, glass rods and pharmaceutical glass products. These systems are built to support controlled glass flow, stable thermal conditions and homogeneous glass quality.
Engineered for precise glass flow and homogeneous quality
EMP’s systems for tube and rod production are designed for both Danner and Vello technologies. A key technical feature is the electrically heated double-walled orifice, while integrated stirring helps ensure homogeneous, cord-free glass during production.
Precise control of glass flow is achieved through a combination of accurate glass temperature regulation and precise plunger position control. For Vello systems, EMP also offers heated bells designed for glasses with high crystallization temperatures and for large-size products.
Designed for both Danner and Vello systems
EMP supports both major production concepts used in the manufacture of glass tubes and rods, allowing the solution to match the technical setup of the line.
Electrically heated double-walled orifice
A key advantage of the system is the directly heated double-walled orifice, supporting the thermal conditions needed for controlled production.
Homogeneous, cord-free glass
Integrated stirring helps maintain homogeneous glass and supports cord-free production quality.
Precise glass flow control
Glass flow is controlled through the combination of accurate temperature regulation and precise plunger position control.
Support for demanding Vello applications
Heated bells are available for Vello systems used with glasses that have high crystallization temperatures and for larger product formats.
Production for glass tubes, rods and pharmaceutical glass
EMP’s tubes and rods production systems are designed for glass tubes, glass rods and pharmaceutical glass production, where consistent glass quality, stable process conditions and controlled flow are essential for reliable output. The availability of both Danner- and Vello-type solutions allows the system design to reflect the intended product and production method.
For customers, this means working with a partner that does not only supply hardware, but can also support the full path from concept to operational system.
A complete project can include more than the core production system
EMP’s provides design and hardware delivery of complete turnkey systems based on electrically heated Platinum alloy parts. Depending on the project scope, this broader delivery can include pre-assembled modules, heating equipment with temperature control, mechanical accessories, oxygen-bubble-related equipment and optional process equipment.
Pre-Assembled Modules
Optimized modules combine Platinum alloy parts, thermal insulation and steel support structures to reduce thermal losses, simplify installation and support stable long-term operation.
Heating Equipment & Temperature Control
Advanced control units provide highly precise temperature regulation of up to ±1 °K, helping improve energy efficiency, process stability and product consistency.
Mechanical Accessories
We supply essential mechanical equipment for melting and forming operations, including solutions for plungers, stirrers, glass shears and glass level control systems.
Oxygen Bubble Reduction Equipment
Specialized devices help reduce oxygen bubbles caused by electrolysis, improving optical quality and minimizing production waste.
Environmental Control Systems, Water Dipping Equipment
For high-temperature glass applications, ECS solutions help improve product quality and extend Platinum system lifetime. For less demanding glass types, water dipping equipment can also be supplied.
Optional Forming Equipment
Systems can be extended with additional components such as drawing chambers, roller assemblies, annealing chambers and other customized forming solutions for specialized production lines.
Simulation-driven system optimization
EMP also offers modeling services for electrically heated Platinum systems, including simulations of Platinum components, surrounding insulation and glass flow. This capability can support system optimization and better technical decision-making in complex projects.
A structured process for reliable project delivery
From the first consultation to commissioning and after-sales support, EMP-Glass follows a clear and efficient workflow tailored to each customer’s technical and production requirements.
This step-by-step process helps ensure precision, transparency and reliable execution throughout the project.
