FocusOn: Deltech Glass Melt Furnace Automation

Corrosion-resistant ceramic linings, smooth and nearly instant door operation to facilitate molten glass pours, roof split plugs to permit glass fining, and 24/7 continuous operation reliability are the well-known features of  every Deltech "RS" glass melt furnace. Now Deltech is pleased to introduce our newest feature: automation. The custom-designed 1700°C melter shown here is a controlled atmosphere furnace that uses robotics to lift and move the crucible to a separate chamber while maintaining the inert atmosphere environment, pour the glass into a heated mould, close the mould door, move the mould into the air for cooling, and then return to its original position. For more information, visit www.deltechfurnaces.com.

Survey Says!
In the wake of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the CyberPoll last week focused on liability costs for oil companies drilling off the U.S. coast. Of the total participants, 62.1% believe that the current $75 million cap should be raised or eliminated. One reader commented, "I'm of mixed emotions on this... I certainly think BP should clean up the coastline. I don't think that disasters like this one should be a windfall for trial lawyers. It seems like removing the cap would have little to do with environmentalism and a lot to do with billable hours."
