Glass
Bulk material handling technology for the glass industry – precise, wear-resistant and designed for demanding raw materials
Reliable solutions for handling silicate raw materials
In glass production, fine-grained, sharp-edged or abrasive bulk materials such as quartz sand, dolomite, lime or cullet must be conveyed safely, precisely and with low dust emissions. Varying particle sizes, high abrasion and dust generation place particular demands on bulk material handling systems.
DI MATTEO supplies technology designed for integration into demanding process chains, from cullet bunkers through to feeding into mixers or melting furnaces. The modular systems cover typical process stages including material reception, storage, conveying, dosing and, where required, separation and material processing.
Bulk material handling technology for the glass industry
Our conveying and process systems support the handling of primary and secondary raw materials, including applications with tight dosing tolerances and dust-intensive processes. Whether fine raw meal or coarse cullet, our equipment is designed for robust operation and integration into existing production environments.

Temperature resistance
Our machines are engineered to match your specific requirements and operating environments, covering a wide range of operating temperatures – from extremely low to very high temperature conditions.
Application-specific bulk material handling technology for glass production
Our systems perform key functions in raw material logistics, from material reception and intermediate storage through to precise dosing and feeding into mixing stations or melting furnaces. Sharp-edged or abrasive materials can also be handled reliably.
Whether quartz sand, lime, soda or cullet, the equipment can be configured according to the specific product and plant layout, with compact installation, energy-efficient operation and service-friendly maintenance.
Typical applications in the glass industry:
-
Material reception and conveying of primary and secondary raw materials
-
Storage and controlled discharge of quartz sand, soda, lime or cullet
-
Low-dust feeding into mixing plants, batching stations or melting furnaces
-
Pre-separation of foreign materials or classification by particle size
-
Integration into existing production lines or newly designed installations
Our solutions combine wear-resistant design with coordinated process integration for reliable and efficient glass production.
