SKS: Furnace rebuild starts at Weck Glas

The planned date for cold acceptance and heating up of its rebuilt replacement is 23 December, 2022

SKS, the SORG Group’s dedicated construction and service division, has officially started work on the complete rebuild of Weck Glas’ 60m2 regenerative end-fired furnace.

The furnace at their plant in Bonn-Duisdorf, Germany, was completely drained last week ready for work to begin. The goal is to reset the furnace’s lifetime by exchanging worn refractory parts and completing extensive modifications and refinements to the existing steel structure. The furnace will be rebuilt with minimal downtime as we apply our world-leading construction expertise.
