Containers / Hollow Glass

The largest segment by revenue, container glass, also called packaging glass, encompasses the hospitality, pharmaceutical, scientific and home goods industries. In production, silica, soda ash, limestone, and cullet are combined by specific proportion according to the desired characteristics of the final product. High-temperature furnaces melt the mixture into a molten material that can be blown, extruded, or cast into innumerable shapes and sizes. The various end products include:

• Tumblers, bowls, goblets, jars, crystal
• Bottles and containers
• Laboratory beakers and other glass supplies

Careful formulation of the key ingredients ensures that the glass meets the standards of the various uses, from everyday drinkware to delicate laboratory and scientific flasks. GlassMASTER mixers quickly and thoroughly produce uniform batches of the many different mixes in container glass production.
