HORN to Construct 300 TPD Solar Glass Production Line

Glass Technology is an experienced and trusted player in the global glass manufacturing industry who is specialized in the production of low-iron solar glass. The German engineering company HORN is a reliable partner in the flat glass industry and has comprehensive knowledge from the first planning sketch to the finished production line for hollow or flat glass.

As one of the industry leaders in the implementation of turn-key projects, HORN was awarded the contract for the supply of a brand-new end fired solar glass furnace by Glass Technology. The new 300 t/d line will be equipped with the latest HORN technology and is designed to produce low-iron solar glass with Anti Reflective Coating. The glass factory will be set up from scratch in the United Arab Emirates on a surface of 10 ha.

In this greenfield solar glass project, the HORN planning staff is responsible for everything, from the supply of raw materials over hot end, up to the cutting line and storage technology. The solar glass production plant is equipped with the full processing technology for Front and Back Glass of Solar Panels. HORN is also responsible for the complete technology of the factory using state of the art engineering solutions. Due to extensive experience in implementing large-scale projects for turn key glass manufacturing plants, the delivery of all the process equipment, its installation, supervision and commissioning will be executed by HORN.

As a manufacturer of flat glass equipment for the hot end, HORN supplies the melting technology and the cast glass rolling machines with the associated automation of the system. The Roller Annealing Lehr, Cold End and the Solar Glass Processing Technology is supplied by partners. The overall technological planning is done at HORN´s headquarters in Germany – according to the motto: Innovation engineered in Germany.

In the second half of 2025, the solar glass line will already be operational. The new production facility will create about 150 new jobs in Al Ghail Industrial Zone, UAE.
