When a furnace reaches the end of its campaign, IRF handles reconstruction of any type of furnace or its parts — from drainage and demolition to refractory assembly, steel supply and on-site rebuild.
At the end of the campaign, IRF rebuilds your furnace, in whole or in part, from draining to heat-up: demolition, refractory installation, steel supply and reconstruction on site.
One partner for the whole project means controlled lead times, consistent quality and clear responsibilities.
Formwork, mixing, casting in place: we handle every step, with equipment sized for each job, from the glass-contact zone to the superstructure.
Complete rebuild of feeders, to restore precise thermal conditioning and a steady flow of glass to the forming machines.
Total or partial construction of the furnace: new refractories, steel structure and complete assembly on site.
Complete demolition of the furnace, safely and by the book, with sorting and recycling of materials, to prepare the rebuild.
Controlled draining of the tank to prepare for demolition.
Complete, safe removal of worn refractory and structure.
New refractories installed, monolithics placed, steel structure replaced.
Controlled heat-up to bring the furnace back into production, then joint sealing to make it tight.
Contact us early: a well-prepared rebuild means a shorter shutdown and quality you can count on.
