In the Chinese glass industry, where heavy oil can easily account for as much as one-third of the total pro-duction costs in one day, the measure-ment of fuel oil is a very important factor. By using Sitrans F C Coriolis flowmeters, this oil consumption can be reduced through a more reliable and precise fuel rate measurement, yielding considerable econominc savings. more |

Dear readers! This year, Siemens looks back on 150 years in the glass industry. In 1856, Friedrich Siemens invented the regenerative furnace, which is still used to manufacture glass today, and a short time later took over the management of the Dresden glassworks. Thanks to innovative technologies and ideas, this factory would go on to revolutionize glass production and remain in operation almost without interruption into the 20th century. This long tradition of working with glass is an added incentive for us to prove ourselves again and again as a competent, innovative and reliable partner to our customers in the glass industry. more |
