SORG Group Supplies Hot End for Vetropack Boffalora
The SORG Group is supplying two regenerative end-fired furnaces with forehearths, the batch handling at the furnaces, and a complete service package, forming the heart of the greenfield project in Boffalora sopra Ticino, Italy.
Nikolaus SORG planned and supplied the melting furnace which were intensively modelled in detail with Vetropack, as well as the glass conditioning systems and all necessary equipment. The furnaces are planned to have a high amount of electric boosting, which can be further increased at a later point in time. The two doghouses per furnace are sealed against gas and dust by using EME-NEND R2 batch charging machines.
Each furnace is equipped with four type 340S+ forehearths. The Sorg OMT measuring and control system is installed in all zones of the forehearths and the working end to ensure optimal combustion.
EME is also supplying the batch bunker, the charging platforms, and the steel construction for this area.
SKS supplies all the furnace and forehearth steel, a total of 1,500 tons.
