Furnotherm rebuilds Indian furnace in record time

The Furnotherm team together with SORG and AGI personnel.

This summer furnace specialist Furnotherm began the challenge of rebuilding a 450tpd glass furnace designed by SORG for AGI glaspac in a limited time period.

The job required the erection of 4500MT refractories in Bhongir, Telengana, India within 43 days. Furnotherm started the project on 13 August, completing it within just 36 days with assistance from the SORG engineers whose guidelines helped make the endeavour a speedy success.

On 16 September AGI glaspac successfully lit its rebuilt furnace.

Furnotherm is continuing its international operation by undertaking another project in Egypt. MEG (Middle East Glass) Glass has tasked the company with glass draining, controlled cool down and heat up of its no. 2 furnace in Cairo, along with HORN Glass Industries.

The project was scheduled to start in mid October 2021.

A further international project is taking place in Uzbekistan, where Furnotherm is constructing a 300tpd float glass furnace designed by HORN for Zarafshon Oyna LLC.
