The USB-5 glass masses homogenization machine, developed by Globecore, is designed for the uniform mixing and improvement of the structure of glass melt. The equipment is used in the glass industry for the production of sheet, container, optical and speciality glass, ensuring a high-quality final product. USB-5 performs intensive mixing of the glass mass components, preventing the formation of inhomogeneities, bubbles and defects. The uniform distribution of components enhances the mechanical properties of glass, improves transparency and ensures thermal stability. The machine improves the quality of the glass mass and reduces process time. The compact design and ease of operation of the USB-5 make it a universal solution for the glass industry. The unit is easily integrated into production lines, requires minimal maintenance and reduces energy costs.
