Glass Beads Production
Tailored systems for controlled glass bead production
EMP-Glass designs tailored Platinum-based solutions for glass beads production, supporting manufacturers who require controlled glass flow, application-specific design and reliable delivery scope. Whether the target application is road marking or abrasive media, the system can be adapted to the required production conditions and the specific properties of the glass.
Engineered for multi-stream or single-stream glass bead production
EMP’s Glass Beads Production system can be designed for multiple glass streams or for a single glass stream, depending on the production concept and required output.
The design is tailored to the operating conditions of the plant and to the particular behavior and properties of the processed glass.
A key objective of the system design is to achieve the required flow rate and keep it stable for each glass stream. Depending on customer requirements, the delivery can range from a complete Platinum delivery system from furnace outlet to glass discharge to a standalone heated orifice.
Multi-stream or Single-stream flexibility
The system can be configured for either one glass stream or multiple glass streams, allowing the concept to match the intended production setup.
Designed for the required flow rate
Each solution is engineered to achieve the required flow rate for every glass stream, supporting production targets and application demands.
Tailored to real production conditions
The design is adapted to the operating environment and to the specific glass properties, helping align the system with actual manufacturing needs.
Scalable delivery scope
Customers can choose a broader system scope or a more focused standalone solution, depending on the project stage and technical requirement.
Glass stream simullations
We simulate glass flow, temperature distribution and stream shape. As a result we can estimate glass bead diameter. We can provide simulations separately.
Built for project-specific integration
From furnace outlet through discharge, the solution can be aligned with the surrounding production line and delivery concept.
Glass Beads Production for Industrial Applications
EMP’s Glass Beads Production system is designed for applications such as road marking and abrasive media, where the solution must reflect the intended use, production conditions and specific properties of the glass.
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.
Services that can support the Glass Beads Production solution
Depending on the project scope, the Glass Beads Production solution can be supported by the same service categories presented on the homepage, creating a broader turnkey or semi-turnkey delivery around the core Platinum system.
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 °C, 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.
