Feeder Heating Tube
Stable glass temperature control for precise gob production
EMP-Glass designs electrically heated Platinum systems for multiple glass gobs or single gob production, helping manufacturers improve and stabilize glass temperature conditions beneath a standard feeder spout. The feeder heating tube supports more consistent thermal conditions and more efficient production changeovers.
A heated Platinum system integrated beneath the feeder spout
The feeder heating tube is a electrically heated Platinum system that can be integrated beneath a standard feeder spout for either multiple glass gobs or single gob production. Its function is to improve and stabilize glass temperature conditions in this critical production stage.
EMP’s Platinum design with heating ensures that the proper glass temperature is achieved, maintained and kept homogeneous throughout operation.
An additional benefit is the significant reduction of job change times, especially in applications involving small gobs or low pull rates.
Improved temperature stability
Installed beneath a standard feeder spout, the system improves and stabilizes glass temperature conditions where precise thermal control is essential.
Electrically Platinum heating
The electrically heated Platinum design ensures that the required glass temperature is reached and consistently maintained during operation.
Homogeneous glass conditions
The system helps keep the glass temperature homogeneous, supporting more reliable process behavior.
Reduced job change times
Changeovers can be significantly shortened, particularly for small gobs or low pull rates.
Flexible production setup
The solution is suitable for production both multiple glass gobs and single gob, depending on the production concept.
Feeder heating tube for perfume bottles, decorative glass and table-ware
EMP’s feeder heating tube is designed for glass production applications such as perfume bottles, decorative glass and table-ware, where controlled and stable temperature conditions are important for consistent gob formation and reliable production performance.
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 Platinum component
Depending on the project scope, the feeder heating tube can be delivered as part of a broader turnkey solution based on electrically heated Platinum alloy systems.
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.
