First, the use of advanced energy-saving technologies. One way to save energy, improve the quality of melting, and extend the furnace to save energy is to increase the amount of broken glass, and the amount of broken glass added abroad reaches 60%-70%. The ideal is to use 100 percent of the broken glass to achieve the goal of "ecological" glass production.

In order to compete with packaging materials and containers such as paper products containers and plastic bottles, glass bottle manufacturers in developed countries have been committed to making product quality more reliable, appearance more beautiful, lower cost, and cheaper prices. In order to achieve these goals, the development trend of foreign glass packaging industry is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, the use of advanced energy-saving technologies. One way to save energy, improve the quality of melting, and extend the furnace to save energy is to increase the amount of broken glass, and the amount of broken glass added abroad reaches 60%-70%. The ideal is to use 100 percent of the broken glass to achieve the goal of "ecological" glass production.

Second, the bottle is lightweight. In Europe, America and Japan and other developed countries, light bottles are the leading products of glass bottle manufacturers. Of the glass bottles produced by German Obedand company, 80% are lightweight disposable bottles. Precise control of raw material composition, precise control of the whole melting process, small mouth pressure blowing technology, cold and hot end spraying of bottles and cans, online detection and other advanced technologies are the fundamental guarantee to realize the lightweight of bottles and cans. Jiangsu glass bottle manufacturers are developing bottle surface enhancement technology, trying to further reduce the weight of the bottle to the world at a faster speed!

Third, increase labor productivity. The key to improving the labor productivity of glass bottle manufacturing is how to improve the forming speed of glass bottles. At present, the method generally adopted by developed countries is to select multi-group and multi-drop forming machines. Large furnaces matched with high-speed molding machines must have the ability to supply a large number of high-quality glass liquids stably, and the temperature and viscosity of the droplets must meet the requirements of better molding conditions. For this reason, the raw material composition must be very stable, and the refined standardized raw materials used by glass bottle manufacturers in developed countries are mostly provided by specialized raw material manufacturers. To ensure the quality of melting furnace thermal parameters to use digital control system, to achieve the whole process of better control.

Fourth, increase the concentration of production. In order to face the severe competition situation caused by the challenges of other packaging products in the glass packaging industry, a large number of glass packaging manufacturers began to merge and reorganize to improve the concentration of the glass container industry in order to optimize the allocation of resources, improve economies of scale, reduce disorderly competition and enhance development capabilities, which has become the current trend of the world glass packaging industry.
