Sks Sorg Keramik Service

The installation of a glass melting furnace requires know how but also the collaboration of many partners that are involved. For new builds, SKS takes over the responsibility for the steel and refractory installation as well as the hot sealing. All other services can be provided together with our Group partners. More complex and time critical are the glass to glass projects, where SKS takes over the compete responsibility to perform all necessary steps to achieve the goal within the given time frame. Close hand in hand planning guarantees that no time is lost between the different phases. Glass to glass projects cover the following aspects: Draining: We provide all equipment and carry out all works to safely empty the furnace. Back cooling systems and modern scrapers ensure environmentally safe glass recovery. Demolition: Especially when parts of the furnace will be reused, the coordination of the demolition is essential for a fast removal of the steel and ceramic waste material. Supply of steelwork: We supply the furnace steel, for the support, the bracing, the platforms, walkways and also for the forehearths. Installation of the steelwork: Our long lasting experience guarantees high quality and fast realization of the steel installation. Installation of the refractories: The refractory installation, especially for the glass contact materials, is the most essential part of the construction with respect to further campaign success. Effective site supervision is guaranteed to ensure that safety and quality standards are met and maintained all the time. Furnace heat-up: The heat up is the most critical part of the project, independent whether it is a repair or a new build. 24 hour monitoring and accurate expansion management guarantees a safe and trouble free heat up.
