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 by eliminating coke and replacing it with natural gas as fuel for melting
Furnace that can work with 100% of waste
No need of briquette making workshop - savings around 1 MEUR
Possibility of complete recycling of production waste and and waste from external customers
10 times less dust emissions than in cupola or 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
