Glasstec 2012: Duzce Cam places order for second float line

Turkish glass processor Duzce Cam is to install a second float glass line.

The company, a subsidiary of Okan Group, signed a contract with Fives Stein at the glasstec event in Dusseldorf, Germany this week.

The new float glass line has a capacity of 800 tonnes per day and will incorporate an LEM furnace, designed to meet the challenge of ever-increasing energy prices.

Fives Stein was selected as the supplier of Duzce Cam’s first float line which started up in 2010 after a contract signing in 2007.

That float line consisted of the glass manufacturing line, comprised of the batch plant, float furnace, tin bath and annealing lehr.
