The Sorg Group recently completed the cold repair and modernization of an oxy-fuel furnace at Ursa Insulation’s Novo Mesto facility in Slovenia. This furnace produces C-Glass insulation wool, a vital material in the glass insulation industry.
Nikolaus Sorg led the engineering and equipment delivery, focusing on enhanced safety and efficiency. EME modernized the external cullet handling system by installing advanced processing equipment and a custom control cabinet designed for long-term performance and energy savings.
SKS managed the demolition of the old furnace, steel construction, heating-up, filling, and commissioning of the new system. Sorg Polska handled refractory and steel installations to ensure structural durability.
This project reflects the Sorg Group’s commitment to cutting-edge technology and sustainability within the glass sector. By improving furnace performance and energy efficiency, the modernization supports Ursa Insulation’s goals for high-quality production with reduced environmental impact. 
The Sorg Group praised Ursa Insulation’s plant team for their cooperation, which helped complete the project ahead of schedule and with full customer satisfaction. This upgrade exemplifies innovation and operational excellence in glass furnace modernization.
