  "textContent": "CIRCE—the Technology Center has coordinated the design and construction of an electric furnace for ceramic frit melting that has successfully completed its first operational tests. This milestone is the result of the joint work of several eLITHE partners on top of CIRCE coordination: Plustherm Point AG for the development of the inductive heating system at the furnace outlet; Glass Service, a.s. for the design support of the electric smelter; Insertec Furnaces & Refractories for the design and supply of refractory materials; and CSIC—Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (ICV) for the formulation and characterization of the frits suitable for electric melting.",
