The UK refractory engineering firm Poulton Ltd. and Canada“s Mikro-Tek furnace engineering operation have recently joined forces. Micro-Tek Canada has been working for the glass manufacturing industry for over 30 years, and claims that now a combined total of 65 years of individual experience in glass furnace design engineering and construction is available to the refractory industry. Over the years, Mikro-Tek says it has gained extensive experience in all aspects of the glass manufacturing industry, and more importantly has instituted the use of automated computer controlled equipment, including a progressive approach to furnace controls, using closed circuit television (CCTV). According to Mikro-Tek, this state-of-the-art approach enables the modern furnace manager to see, at a glance, flame patterns, batch pile formations and melt rates with greater clarity and accuracy than has ever before been possible. Poulton has been engaged in providing quality refractory engineering services to the industry for well over 100 years, and this very long history has enabled them to gain extensive experience in many aspects of refractory engineering on a worldwide basis. They claim to have remained at the forefront of the industry by ensuring that the standards of excellence, for which Poulton has become renowned worldwide, are rigorously maintained at all times. This association between Poulton and Micro-Tek offers what the companies involved claim will be an unparalleled service to the glass industry, at the same time opening up a multitude of opportunities in furnace construction work.
