This publication is, intended to assist anyone who !,is contemplating setting up 2-a small-scale glass factory” to* ‘. I’. produce various glassware items such as tumblers, 3 0 hurricane lamp glasses, bottles and jars. It. aims to+ive a’ brief introduction to the processes, the t-e,chnologies involved, and the alternatives available, so that an initial. \ technology choice., can be made. based on local needs, e conditions and markets. There is a section at the .end which gives indicative costmgs, and typical case .studies for an * %‘%, African situation and an Asian situation with a proformam~ ” s3 for readers to slot in their own local figures. It should be emphasised, however, that a :much more rig%d ‘. “- ’ feasibility study must be conducted before a investment ’ * p ” “: is sought in a particular situation. The ‘information has been collected over a period--of .- four years and is based on the, experience gained by sC ~~ -% the Industrial Services unit of the Intermediate Technology Development Group 5 who have actively supported small-scale. glass plants in developing countries during . this period. It is also biased towards -low volume = ’ d:,,. production, typically 5-l5 tonn& per day of glass, but ., does mention the smaller and large scale alternatives. i ’ Garry Whitby I Rugby, 1983 I, , * --> XY i . x\ ,,,s r’ .\ J -. 3‘ ‘L B -, i 0‘ _ i ? ,,, 1 :’ ‘” ‘7:‘” . . .-T,- (I -;F, .c ,;z&,,. . .s- -” :. ‘,L ” 2 ;c,~.c . ‘_ ., I. :r working as,. an -I ,_ lstrial Services Division k I een working .;/ n glass in ..developing ‘I :,. rd.&
