Italian glass manufacturer Vetrerie Riunite has began reconstruction work on its second furnace, known as the Centauro, in order to increase its production capacity.
The vault, superstructure and regeneration chamber of the old structure have been maintained.
In contrast, all glass conditioning and distribution channels and other parts of the furnace in direct contact with the glass are under construction.
The companies that contributed to the renovation of the furnace are Tecsiglass, which handled the design, demolition and reconstruction of the structure, as well as the updating of the software part, along with Fila termoidraulica, which handled the construction of the compressed air, methane and technological water systems, and C.D.M., which handled the heavy carpentry part.
Finally, Alca handled the upgrading of the electrical system.
The reconstruction of the furnace will allow the production of 190 tons of glass per day, instead of 175, so as to be increasingly competitive in the market.
In this way, Vetrerie Riunite consolidates its position in the global market for glass doors for washing machines and dryers.
