Colorant Forehearths

The nature of today’s Flaconage market requires glass suppliers to have flexible manufacturing facilities, geared towards producing relatively short runs of high quality glass containers.
BH-F have been at the forefront of glass conditioning technology for over 80 years specialising in the production of tailor made glass conditioning solutions, and machinery for use at the hot end of glass production.
The proven and trusted BH-F 400 series working end and forehearth continues to offer solutions to the increased demands placed upon today's glass producer. The combinations of longitudinal cooling, high turndown, side heating and graded insulation are used to give a high cooling capacity, with relatively low cooling air, lower fuel consumption and consistently good thermal homogeneity and stability. BH-F have also developed the Oxy-Gas Combustion systems for forehearths and working ends to further enhance these capacities. BH-F 400 series Forehearths with or without a colorant section have been supplied for container, cosmetics, tableware and architectural production. When the forehearth incorporates a colorant section, the glass colour range which can be produced covers shades from pale tints to black. The colour range is normally produced from a base of clear soda lime glass, but can also be produced from borosilicate or lead glasses. New colours can be created from coloured glass produced in the furnace itself. Our forehearth systems can be supplied with the latest automatic advanced temperature control systems or alternatively can be integrated into customer's own control system. In addition to BH-F’s Mechanical Feeder Mechanisms, a range of Electronic Feeder Mechanisms are available. which are compatible, according to capacity with every kind of forming machine. The patented Cascade Spout bowl proven highly successful in larger capacity feeders has now been incorporated into the range of smaller capacity electronic feeders.
