Furnotherm multi-tasks six simultaneous projects
Indian furnace maker Furnotherm is currently handling four major glass furnace projects in four different locations.
The company has started a prestigious commission constructing the first float glass plant in Uzbekistan: a greenfield project for Zarafshon Oyna LLC, designed and supplied by HORN, Germany. Concurrently, Furnotherm is also building a greenfield 250tpd container glass furnace for Piramal Glass in Jambusar, Gujarat, India.
Project three is another greenfield project: a 180tpd container glass furnace for Sunrise Glass in Surat, Gujarat, India. The fourth major operation is an expansion project for Frigo Glass in Nigeria.
Furnotherm will drill the existing furnace and drain the glass before dismantling the steel and refractories.
The team will then erect new furnace steels and a refractory for a 300tpd container glass furnace, along with the installation of all furnace equipment. Furnotherm will provide electrical and instrumentation assistance for the furnace operating system and will supervise heat up, expansion control and cullet filling of the newly built furnace.
The Furnotherm team is also currently engaged in two hot work projects in different locations. In Sri Lanka, Piramal Glass Ceylon has contracted Furnotherm to over-coat and patch the side walls of its 300tpd container glass furnace. The team will also replace half of the P2 forehearth refractories and replace the Doghouse curtain arches.
Finally, in Hyderabad, India Furnotherm is over-coating and patching the side walls of a 400tpd container glass furnace for AGI Glaspac.
Furnotherm is successfully managing all six projects simultaneously in different parts of the world with its most competent teams. The company is confident that it can undertake any major glass furnace construction project at any time.
