Nanjing Electric Technology Group, based in Nanjing, China, has been successfully producing glass insulators using SORG melting technology for many years. In recent years, SORG has supplied a gas-fired end port furnace and an all-electric SORG VSM® furnace for this production.
Nanjing is highly satisfied with SORG melting technology and has again selected SORG as the supplier for their new, third furnace to support increased capacity.
The new furnace is another all-electric melter of the type SORG VSM®, with a melting surface of 21 square metres. Nikolaus SORG provided the furnace design, engineering, and technology. Key components included a rotating crown, transformers, a complete SORG top electrode system, an STF® forehearth with stirrer unit, and a Conti-Drain® system. The full installation of the furnace steel, refractory material, and furnace components, as well as the commissioning, was carried out under the supervision of Nikolaus SORG.
The SORG Group would like to thank Nanjing Electric Technology Group for their ongoing trust in SORG and its technology. We would also like to express gratitude for the order of a fourth furnace, which will also be used for the production of glass insulators. This furnace is a gas-fired end port furnace and is currently being delivered.
