We are the only company in the world specialized in the design and production of Submerged Burners Melters (SBM)
Large contact area between flame and melt bubbles - volumic melting
Intense heat exchange between flame and melt - specific pull rate 20 t/day/m2
Intensive mixing of the melt - chemical homogeneity and fast transition from one glass composition to another
Low emission of NOx (2 times less than in conventional furnaces)
Good melting efficiency - average gas consumption 1,6 MWh/t of melt (can decrease until 1,2 MWh/t)
Wide range of granulometry of the batch - pieces of 50-70 mm down to the dust fraction
Able to melt very wet waste even with metal contamination
Compact size (5 times smaller than a conventional furnace of the same capacity) - only 4 m2 for 80 t/day pull rate
Ability to work in "On - Off" mode - needs about 2-3 hours to start or stop this furnace
Cheaper than standard flame furnace - fully equipped SBM smelter for 80 t/day costs less than 3 MEUR
Long service life - expensive ceramic refractories are not used in this furnace
If necessary, SBM smelter can be completely disassembled and assembled elsewhere
Reduced operating costs
Furnace can work with 100% of waste
Possibility of complete recycling of production waste and and waste from external customers
10 times less dust emissions than flame furnace
No need of CO treatment system (type Enetex) - savings around 2 MEUR
Low investment costs - the melting bath is composed by replaceable metalic panels cooled by water
Small footprint - about 4 m2
