New furnace increases glass capacity at Gerresheimer Lohr

Used for the production of transparent pharmaceutical glass

Gerresheimer has replaced the glass furnace at its plant in Lohr, Germany and the first new glass was flowing out of it after only 43 days following installation.

The new furnace is used in the production of transparent glass for the pharmaceutical industry and as a result of the investment, an additional production line incorporating the latest technology for manufacturing especially lightweight articles has been put into operation and around 16 new jobs have been created.

‘We managed to install the furnace in record time thanks to the hard work and commitment of the entire team at Lohr. Without their efforts, it would never have been possible,’ said Andreas Kohl, general manager at Gerresheimer Lohr.

All production lines at Gerresheimer Lohr have cleanroom technology and advanced production and inspection equipment that is certified to all the relevant standards.

The new furnace satisfies all statutory requirements of exhaust gases and air purity, and it has a completely sealed melting basin to improve energy efficiency.
