HORN to rebuild Russian container glass furnace

HORN will repair Steklotech LLC’s end fired furnace for amber and green glass.

The sole glass container manufacturer in the Ural federal District in Russia, Steklotech LLC produces glass bottles and jars with a manufacturing capacity of 300 million glassware products per year.

At the beginning of August 2021 furnace specialist HORN was commissioned to rebuild Steklotech’s Furnace 1.

The project in the Tyumen region (Russia) involves the repair of the company’s 200tpd end fired furnace for amber and green glass that has two production lines for container glass with a melting area of 100.8m².

HORN’s scope of supply includes the combustion system (heating from natural gas burners), an electric measuring and control system and several engineering services.

The furnace will be equipped with the company’s new GCS Series 301-Advanced forehearth.

This system is characterised by the most advanced technology in forehearth design for high-pull forehearths and the highest temperature homogeneity requirements (K-factor).
