One example of this is the Vibrorath K99 high-alumina and Vibrorath 420 zircon-mullite channel blocks, which enable efficient melt flows thanks to their smooth surface.
These newly developed channel block qualities are made of premium materials and manufactured using the most precise technology.
Longer service life with the new, advanced FOURATH®4 feeder expendables series
FOURATH®4 technology, based on an optimized formulation that has been exclusively developed and produced by RATH, enables a longer service life, better glass quality and reduced costs. The new, advanced feeder expendables series includes spouts, spout covers, tubes, orifice rings and plungers. Customer feedback on the product performance of the FOURATH®4 series confirms its high level of efficiency and quality in glass production.
Ready for the future with ceramic hot gas filter elements
RATH also helps the glass industry to meet the highest emission protection requirements in industrial plants: Hot gas filtration is becoming increasingly important here. For many years, the company has been developing innovative ceramic hot gas filter elements that make it possible to filter particle-laden industrial flue gases at temperatures up to 1000 °C and reduce emissions of nitrogen and sulfur oxides, as well as reduce the emission of fine particulates.
The early removal of dust from particulate-contaminated exhaust gases at high temperatures is an approach that makes sense, not only from an ecological, but also from an economic point of view. Using RATH ceramic filter elements results in a better energy balance, since the exhaust gas temperature does not need to be lowered and then raised again. Uneconomical cooling of exhaust gases just for the purpose of filtering them is no longer necessary, which also saves costs. Another decisive advantage is that the purified hot gas can be used for other applications, such as energy or hot water generation.
RATH ceramic hot gas filters are produced in Europe using RATH fibers and available in lengths from 1 to 6 meters.
