SKS has earned a reputation as a specialist in hot repairs and ceramic welding. Our team of maintenance engineers is amongst the best in the world and can be on-site quickly to maintain your plant’s uptime.
Since our establishment, it has been our goal to develop repair methods for every conceivable issue. Thanks to continued development, today we are proud to provide our customers with specialised hot repairs that we alone are capable of:
• Front wall repair
• Throat and riser replacement
• Regenerator crown exchange
• Tuck stone replacement
• Doghouse arches replacement
Ceramic welding can eliminate the need for extensive conventional repairs. It can be performed during normal furnace operations with little or no loss of production.
Our subdivision FuseTech International GmbH offers hot-face welding, for the repair of refractory material inside, and cold-face welding for material outside the furnace.
We completely rebuild the forehearth and feeder while the furnace is in operation. By isolating the area with a water-cooled slide, we begin demolishing the worn-out refractory and installing new material, allowing glass manufacturers to continue production on other lines.
