India represents one of the largest manufacturers of glass in Asia region for glass products.There are approximately around 100 large scale glass manufacturers in India who use modern large scale melting furnaces. India also has more than 300 small to medium scale glass manufacturers.
In the current environments the referactories are exposed to the following operational conditions:
High Operating Temperatures
Thermochemical Stress
Mechnical Stress
Fuel Firing & Higher Melting Rates
The right selection of refractory material is of critical importance and depends of their capacity to bear the following:
Chemical Stress
Mechnical Stress
Thermal Stress
Our products are successfully used in the following :
Glass Melting Tanks
Container Glass
Fiber Glass
Float Glass
Custom Glass
Art Glass
Regenerators and Recuperators
Pot Furnaces
Fore hearths
The purpose of the regenerator is to preheat the combustion air by utilizing the energy stored in the exhaust steam. The applied refractories are exposed to thermochemical and mechnical stresses since the exhaust steam is contains alkalies and silica.
Regenerators utilize checker brick to improve efficiencies by taking advantage of the excellent heat exchange properties inherent in ceramic materials. As the furnace exhausts through the checker packing, the bricks are preheated by the waste gases, providing a source of energy to preheat the combustion air when the cycle is reversed.
Our various checker brick products are for :
Top Checkers
Middle Checkers
Condensate Zone Checkers
Lower Checkers, Rider Tiles and Secondaries
