Glass Inspection Services
Endoscope Inspection Applications
​
Visual access to glass furnaces and regenerator chambers is typically restricted to inspection holes providing limited range views of furnace refractory.
​
Water-cooled endoscopes are inserted into the furnace opening at operating temperature which makes it possible to view difficult-to-see areas inside the furnace.
​
Using water-cooled lenses, the refractory condition of the furnace superstructure can be studied and evaluated in detail with plant management.
​
Hot inspections make it possible to track defects and determine how quickly they are deteriorating assisting in planned maintenance management to prevent potential problems.
Furnace Life Asset Management & Evaluation
A key component of CFM is Fosbel’s proprietary FLAME™, a web-based furnace information management system.
​
FLAME™ is a user-friendly system that organizes and displays a range of furnace-related information, enabling users to manage furnace maintenance more proactively and comprehensively. This unique technology provides a complete view of furnace condition, allowing better visibility into maintenance priorities resulting in better strategic maintenance management.
