Techglass Sp. z o.o., now SORG Polska Sp. z o.o., reconstructs furnace 2 for Qemetica Glass Sp. z o.o.

SORG Polska was awarded the contract for a modernisation and complete furnace renewal, including the batch house and batch and cullet transport, for Qemetica Glass Sp. z o.o, Poland's largest manufacturer of glass lanterns for grave lights.

The scope of supply and services ranged from the design and construction to the delivery of the steel, the refractory material, working end, forehearths and regenerators, to the heating up and filling. SORG Polska carried out everything from the modernisation of the batch house with the batch and cullet transport to the installation of the steel and refractory material.

As part of the work, the gas fired furnace was modified to enable a boosting system to be installed at a later date, supporting more flexible operation as a hybrid furnace. SORG Polska also provided systems for the heating, cooling and exhaust gas, as well as transporting the IS machines, their cabling and piping.

Qemetica Glass Sp. z o.o is part of Qemetica S.A, a leading European group of companies in the chemical industry based in Warsaw, Poland. The company has been continuously active in the production of glass containers since 1946.

SORG Polska would like to thank Qemetica Glass Sp. z o.o. for their trust and cooperation on the project and wishes Qemetica Glass a long and successful furnace campaign.
