EME, part of the SORG Group and a leading supplier of batch and cullet handling technology, is celebrating the start of work on a new project with Turkish glass manufacturer Bastürk Cam.
The project involves basic and detailed engineering including a batch transport system to a new 560tpd Furnace B.
EME is also supplying a cullet return system, including two single fork link chain scrapers.
Finally, EME will deliver a complete electric control system with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) technology, as well as supplying mechanical and electrical supervision services.
Dr. Sebastian Woltz, Sales Director at EME, says: “We are delighted to have started this project, particularly as the work follows our delivery and commissioning of the batch plant and cullet return system for Furnace A at Bastürk Cam’s Malatya factory in Turkey in 2017. Bastürk Cam was so pleased with that work, the order for Furnace B was actually placed in 2021 but the project had to be delayed because of the tragic earthquake in 2023. Starting production of the second furnace now is a real boost for everyone involved.
“EME is always ready to take on demanding projects around the world. We are very confident in our ability to exceed Bastürk Cam’s expectations."
