Bench assembly of the glass furnace bottom

JSC "BKO" has mastered the technology of bench assembly of glass furnace elements, first of all, the furnace bottom. To ensure the required assembly accuracy, a set of works was performed: a stand was designed and built with deviations in non-flatness ±; 0.5 mm, mastered the technology of preparation (cutting and grinding) of block products for bench assembly with minimum permissible deviations (linear dimensions ± 0.25 mm; slopes - less than 0.2 mm), the bench assembly technology itself. The developed technology was applied to the assembly of other elements of the furnace: feeder trays of the glass-forming machine, regenerator arches and loading pockets. The use of a bench assembly can significantly reduce the time for the installation of a glass-melting furnace, reduce construction costs, create favorable conditions for laying other elements of the furnace, which generally contributes to an increase in the life of the furnace.
