Glass Draining and Safe Residual Glass Removal
Controlled glass draining is essential for safety and efficiency. Our team determines the optimal drain point and installs custom-made spouts, ensuring reliable removal of remaining glass.
Furnace Demolition and Site Preparation
We perform full or partial dismantling of furnaces, including removal of the refractory lining and steel structure. Each project is analyzed to select the best safety measures and technical equipment, ensuring a controlled and efficient process.
Supply and Installation of Steel Structures
We supply and install steel structures, including furnace support elements, frames, platforms, and walkways. We ensure strict quality control at every stage, manage logistics with precision, and coordinate on-site installation for seamless execution.
Refractory Lining Installation
The refractory lining is the basis of furnace durability. Our specialists perform precise, carefully controlled installations, especially in high-wear zones, directly influencing both glass quality and the overall furnace lifespan.
Furnace Heating-Up and Insulation Works
The final stage of furnace installation is controlled and carefully monitored heating to prevent structural stresses. We carry out expansion control and insulation works to stabilize the thermal regime and ensure efficient and safe furnace operation.
Commissioning and Furnace Optimization
We perform a full and comprehensive range of commissioning works, including careful calibration of temperature regimes, precise adjustment of control systems, energy consumption optimization, and overall performance improvement for reliable operation.
Installation and Replacement of Electrodes and Electrode Holders
We provide complete and reliable services for electrode holders, including precise installation, timely replacement, and accurate adjustment of molybdenum electrodes with minimal production downtime, ensuring stable operation.
Application of Overcoatings
To protect the refractory from erosion and wear, we apply carefully targeted localized overcoatings in the most critical furnace zones, covering areas exposed to high thermal and mechanical stress to ensure long-term durability, reliability, and stable furnace performance under demanding conditions.
Regenerator Cleaning, Patch Repairs, and Mechanical Cleaning
Deposits in regenerators and ports can reduce combustion efficiency and increase energy consumption. Our cleaning methods restore optimal performance without shutting down the production process. We perform mechanical and thorough thermal cleaning of regenerator checkers and patch repairs of refractory linings.
Sealing of “Rat Holes” and Openings
Significant loss of furnace tightness seriously reduces its reliability. We use suspended brickwork, ceramic welding, or combined methods for long-term defect elimination.
Hot Repairs and Reconstruction
We apply high-precision repair methods with minimal downtime. This includes charging wall and throat wall replacement, regenerator crown repair, tuckstone restoration, and dog house arch rebuilding. Ceramic welding and structural reinforcement are used where required.
Working End and Feeder Reconstruction
We carry out the reconstruction of forehearths and feeders without furnace shutdown, enabling production to continue on other lines.
Endoscopic Diagnostics and Technical Monitoring
Through endoscopic inspection, we detect furnace defects in real time, ensuring timely repair and extended service life. Results are documented in a report for maintenance planning.
Visual Inspections and Structural Analysis
Our experienced specialists conduct thorough visual inspections to detect critical wear zones in advance. You receive a report with a full assessment of furnace condition.
Furnace Bottom Thickness Control
Сore-drilling technique allows us to assess the remaining thickness of the furnace bottom and determine refractory corrosion levels. After analysis, all holes are sealed with heat-resistant inserts.
Consulting and Project Management
We provide comprehensive consulting services for construction, repair, and optimization of glass melting furnaces. We manage projects, coordinate all work stages, and ensure timely and quality implementation.
