Furnace repair support for Kioo Glass

The leading glass container manufacturer in East and Central Africa, Kioo Glass recently completed a planned major rebuild on one of its furnaces. The company was able to plan its scheduled rebuild timing more accurately by using SmartMelter monitoring. When the furnace was drained, the conclusions in the report were confirmed.

An audit was performed on the furnace in March 2019, with support provided from the SmartMelter team both remotely and on-site. The audit was followed by a detailed report and presentation of the findings by the team.

The furnace was shut down in September 2019 following some delays. However, the SmartMelter technology provided comfort in deciding to extend the lifetime of the furnace. When the furnace was dismantled, its condition was found to be consistent with the SmartMelter radar scan.
