Foam glass
The glass
powder prepared by the Energocell®
foam glass factory of Daniella Ipari Park
Kft. is "baked" in a tunnel furnace (custom built, based on our own
experiments) at a pre-programmed heating curve that generates the foam glass. When the
glass powder mixture reaches the desired temperature, it starts to foam
without releasing any toxic gases, and transforms into the foam glass as we
know it. The
heating procedure takes place in an electrical furnace without industrial
water pollution, burning emissions or noise and dust pollution. The whole
manufacturing process is quiet, and does not cause any environmental
disturbances.
The amount of (primary) energy needed to produce
the Energocell®
foam glass granules and boards is very low, only about 140
KWh/m³.
