Tongxiang 120,000-tonne alkali-free line

The Tongxiang 120,000-tonne alkali-free glass fiber tank-furnace drawing project entered production on 8 June 2007, following construction started in September 2006. The report describes large-unit drawing, oxygen combustion in the furnace and forehearth, multi-filament bushing processes, and in-line chopped strands. The same site, scale, product and construction start link this commissioning observation to the prior-year project. Claims that it was the largest and most advanced line are management assessments, not independently verified rankings.

A 120,000-tonne alkali-free furnace project started construction in September 2006. The filing describes large-unit furnace drawing, oxygen combustion in the furnace and forehearth, multi-filament bushing processes, and in-line chopped strands. Its construction schedule was forward-looking at the time of the discussion. This is an additional Tongxiang expansion, identified separately from the 80,000-plus-20,000-tonne project that had already entered production.
