Iran’s Nafis Glass commissions glass plant

Iranian container glass producer Nafis Glass has successfully commissioned a new glass plant.

Nafis Glass is the sister company of Mofid Glass and operates two furnaces for pharmaceutical products as well as containers. The new plant and its building in Takestan were constructed for two large furnaces. The initial capacity with 360 t/d was commissioned in January 2016.

Sorg designed and supplied the key equipment for the new 125m² regenerative end-fired furnace with four production lines for container glass production. The forehearths are all Sorg 340S type.

Sorg also supplied the special superstructure refractory material including all equipment for the glass conditioning section.
