QUALITY IS NEVER AN ACCIDENT.BDF INDUSTRIES, SINCE 1906.

PRODUCT LINES

FURNACESThanks to our wealth of experience gained over the years, the Furnaces Division of BDF Industries is able to engineer hollow glass melting furnaces using the most modern techniques and technologies available on the market, simultaneously combining efficiency in consumption, durability and quality of glass requested by our Customers. The studies and research developed over recent years combined with cutting-edge design tools are today able to guarantee stability and flexibility in the Furnaces management, for all types of production taking in consideration the strictly environmental regulations of reduction of NOx, SOx and all waste pollution related.

FOREHEARTHS In order to work the glass gob better and create a perfect bottle, you need excellent glass conditioning. The Division of BDF Industries dedicated to the Working Ends and Forehearths is able to offer and install complete systems which are able to fully satisfy the requests of our customers.The Forehearths of the GTFS and GTHP series can be equipped with ad hoc systems guaranteeing a thermal homogeneity in the different configurations in the conditioning zone which is as close to 100% as possible, possibly installing Stirrer and/or Booster systems where required or recommended.BDF Industries is able to create a strategic connection between Furnaces-Forehearths-IS Machines: the Furnaces technology developed for the Forehearths in fact allows you to bring the glass to the correct temperature from the Furnaces to the IS Machines.Our advanced knowledge of the machines allows us to associate the most suitable Forehearth according to the IS Machine.

IS MACHINESThe historical core business of BDF Industries, in which regard we have over 60 years of experience in the hollow glass world. Through our elevated know-how gained in the engineering and manufactoring of machinery, the company’s IS Machines Division currently produces the most complete range of solutions, from machines with pneumatic handling to servo-assisted handling machines, with angular or parallel mould openings/closures, combined with all the variable equipment and accessories in order to better intercept the requests of the end customer. The internal R&D Department is focused every day on finding the best solutions to be applied in IS Machines which not only allow the production of perfect glass containers, but also a high-performance production, reducing costs: flexibility, reliability and production efficiency have always been the fundamental advantages which BDF Industries makes available to its customers all over the world.A distinctive feature is the fully Made in Italy production: the machines are fully designed, manufactured and assembled in Italy, where there is an important knowledge of the production process.

AUTOMATIONBeing able to integrate highly-sophisticated process systems such as hollow glass from the Batch house to the annealing lehr is not for everyone. BDF Industries, thanks to the vertical integration developed over the years, has managed to specialise in the engineering of all the automation of the hot end. The R&D Department, working in close contact with the Furnaces, Forehearths and IS Machines Divisions, is aimed at constant research into the most advanced control and supervision systems to best meet the demands of its customers.

ENERGYGlass Plant is a highly energy-consuming and polluting industry, in which enormous amounts of energy are wasted and thrown away, especially in the form of heat and fine dust.Thanks to the synergy of highly-specialised teams between the Furnaces and Automation Divisions, BDF Industries is able to supply specific products for the protection of the environment and for energy recovery, using the most innovative solutions and products in compliance with the fundamental production and consumption requirements of glassworks, always paying attention to the fundamental parameters to be considered without affecting the daily tasks of the operators of the Furnaces.

SERVICE From the Furnaces to the IS Machines passing through Working End and Forehearths, in a single strategic Partner: for BDF Industries, the Customer satisfaction is always its goal from the phase of offer issuing up to after sales. This is why it makes use of a strong and cohesive Service structure with more than 80 people at the service of Customers all over the world, capable of helping the Customer in daily operations and able to find the most effective solutions to solve problems and increase performance. Not only after-sales service, among the activities that the Service Division performs all over the world every day, there are also those of supervision, auditing, installation, overhauling of machines and melting minor repair to guarantee complete coverage of the hot part of the glassware: from the Furnaces to the Forehearths to IS Machines with highly-qualified technicians specialised in the individual areas of competence.
