The Vetropack Group is one of the largest, most well-known European glass container manufacturers. With a workforce of around 4,000 people, it runs nine glass factories in Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Italy and the Republic Moldova, which all produce and distribute glass packaging.

Vetropack Group, has chosen Acmon Systems as their trusted Manufacturing solution partner for the renovation of the batch house. This project marks the first step in upgrading a flint glass production line at Vetropack's Straža glass factory in Croatia, which is expected to be in full operation by November 2024.

The turn-key project involves a complex and challenging upgrade plan. Acmon Systems will provide new conveying, weighing, and micro dosing equipment, as well as a completely new electrical equipment and process control system. The control system includes built-in redundancy functionality to ensure uninterrupted raw material flow to the furnaces, even in the event of individual component failure. It will be seamlessly interconnected with Vetropack's existing Siemens PCS 7 central distributed control system (DCS).

The entire installation is designed to be fully dustproof and built to the highest quality, performance, and safety standards. Acmon Group's extensive experience in bulk material handling, combined with their expertise in engineering, automation, and process control, ensures a comprehensive and robust material handling solution for the line upgrade.

Acmon Systems' collaboration with Vetropack Group on this batch house renovation project highlights their ability to deliver complex turn-key solutions. With a focus on quality, performance, and safety, Acmon Systems provides the expertise needed to successfully upgrade the glass production line, meeting Vetropack's requirements and driving their manufacturing capabilities to new heights.
