Furnotherm has successfully undertaken the demanding and prestigious project to rebuild the 600 tonnes per day Float Glass Furnace for Şişecam Flat Glass India in Halol, Gujarat, India.
The challenge was to demolish the entire furnace of 8800 MT Refractories and re-installation of the refractories in a span of 105 days, out of which 20 days for demolition and 85 days for re-installation.
