GLASSMAKING

ADI Industrial Services

ADI-IS designs and manufactures its own endoscopic devices enabling an appropriate technical answer to specific needs.

For glass furnace inspection, standards endoscopic devices have an Outer Diameter (OD) of 38 mm enabling introduction in a 50mm (2”) opening, and a standard length between 900mm and 1200mm

Small Outer Diameter, suitable endoscope lengths and various vision angles enable inspection of almost ALL the furnace areas

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES FOR HOT BLAST AIR CIRCUIT

Efficient uninterrupted operations of hot blast air supply to the blast furnace -> RELIABILITY

SStable process conditions avoiding fluctuations since there is no room for mistakes -> CONSISTENCY

Low costs operations and down time minimization -> RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Energy efficiency -> LOW EMISSIONS

SOME (VERY) GOOD REASONS TO PERFORM ENDOSCOPY WITH ADI-I

BURNER PORT AND REGENERATOR

The fall of bricks on the checker, partially blocked, poor heating and higher energy use

DOGHOUSE

Fragilized refractory at arch and corners can be a thread for the charge feeding and its homogeneity

TANK GENERAL VIEW

Global overviewing gives a quick outlook on the general status of the refractory lining

WALLS AND CROWN

Side/End walls as well crown are part of the structure of the furnace, any damages or missing parts can become a serious thread for the whole structure itself
