End-port regenerative furnaces are typically used for producing less than 230 t of glass per day. In an end-port furnace, the ports are located on the furnace back wall. Batch is charged into the furnace near the back wall on one or both of the side walls. The following figure shows the layout of a typical end port furnace. These furnaces are commonly used for producing container glass, but are also used for producing tableware and sodium silicates. For container production, a furnace campaign typically lasts 8 years.

Undershot of oxygen through lances and supplemental oxy/fuel have been used successfully on this type of furnace. Oxygen enrichment of the preheated combustion air has also been used on furnaces with damaged checkers.
