Production & innovations
Batch house
• Extremely precise mixing of the raw materials
The batch house installations have recently been renovated, now allowing unmatched accuracy in the incorporation of raw materials. This ensures the constant high quality of the glass batch and consistency of the colour.
• Quality control
Our laboratory experts analyse with precision every batch and keep track of the quality records to avoid any inconvenience.

Melting
• Reliable fuel system
The furnaces are powered by a top-notch fuel system that uses gas and methane. That system contributes to producing glass with homogeneous mixture and high-quality composition.
• Electric system
A complementary electric heating system is installed on all furnaces , which contributes for precise control of the melting and homogenizing process.

Forming
• Precise molding machines
The forming process relies on the latest servo engines and mechanisms which guarantee a precise workflow and quality of the product.
• Triple gob technology
Every molding machine can work in a Blow & Blow, Press & Blow, and Narrow Neck Press & Blow mode to produce, respectively, standard bottles, jars, and lightweight bottles.

• Triple gob technology
Every production line is equipped to work in triple gob mode. The triple gob line increases the production capacity to up to more than 520 pieces per minute.
Production lines
• Straight lines
All the production lines are built to be predominantly straight, resulting in a faster product flow and secure transportation. Because of their configuration flexibility, most of our lines are capable of producing intricated products.
• OMEGA technology
Our production process allows our company to be easily certified by worldwide brands, because we have an OMEGA system on every line, which allows the product to be turned upside down and blown out with compressed air. This makes our production lines meet the requirements to produce even baby food containers.

Quality Control
• Real-time online control
The product quality is monitored by AGR equipment with real-time online control 24/7 AQL regular control.
• 360-Degree quality assurance
The production is monitored by Tiama high-tech quality control equipment, which gives us real-time information with implemented Tiama MES system, which improves our effectiveness.
• High-speed quality checking
The combination of Quality control equipment allows for high-speed quality assurance and quality checking.
• Complete monitoring control system
Constantly checking all production lines in real time and obtaining all relevant information helps with making the right decisions promptly.

Packaging and Storage
• Robotic palletizers
Most of the palletizers used in the factory are robotic. They can execute every form of palletization, including that of non-standard product shape, which allows us to work with a variety of packaging materials.
• Covered storage unit
The factory has a covered storage unit of over 15 000 sq. m. layout, which provides us with the possibility for smooth loading and keeping track of every pallet in our warehouse.
• Container loading dock
Rubin is equipped with machines that allow the loading and unloading of shipping containers
