Controlled cooling of glass furnaces for the Industry

At Traterme, we offer controlled cooling solutions for the glass industry, designed to protect refractories and ensure a safe and gradual process. This service is essential during scheduled shutdowns, after glass drainages or for partial repairs, ensuring that the furnace’s integrity is maintained.

Why is controlled furnace cooling crucial?

Fast cooling can cause thermal stress and damage to refractories. This is why at Traterme we adjust the cooling process according to the provided curve, ensuring that it is gradual and stays within the appropriate parameters for each type of furnace. This allows for a smooth thermal transition, protecting the furnace structure.

Technology and Benefits

• Precise cooling adjustment: By following the recommended thermal curve, we adapt the furnace cooling to meet each plant’s requirements, ensuring the process is safe and uniform.
• Refractory protection: By cooling the furnace progressively and in a controlled manner, we minimise the risk of damage to refractory materials, extending the furnace’s lifespan and avoiding costly, unforeseen repairs.

• Continuous contraction monitoring: As with furnace heating, our team take care of the process to ensure conditions remain within the client’s specified parameters, controlling the possible contraction of the furnace, and guaranteeing efficient and safe operations.
