The bottles manufacturing

Components:

The raw materials arrive by truck or train, are stocked in silos, weighted and mixed to obtain "the mix that you can vitrify"

Glass melting:

This mix is progressively brought to a temperature of around 1550-Celsius degrees in an oven. The height of the melting glass varies from 1.20 m to 1.50 m

At the exit of the oven, the glass goes in the temperature-conditioning canal called feeder to obtain a stable temperature. It is then cut by big scissors called "paraison" corresponding to the weight of the melting glass necessary to make a bottle. The "paraison" is guided towards the forms that will form the objects. A first pass is made which is then finished in a finishing form.

Re-cooking of the bottles:

At the exit of the machines, the bottles need to be cooled but are actually re-heated on the external parts.

At the exit of the cooking arch, some checks are made to verify the characteristics and the quality of the products. These operations are made by automatic machinery assisted by a qualified personnel

Conditionning and shipping of the bottles:
