Furnace and regenerator
Space-efficient backup insulation helps retain furnace heat and reduce exposure at the outer equipment boundary.
Glass production applications
Maintain thermal continuity from furnace to forming.
Stable thermal conditions matter from the furnace to the feeder bowl. Siltherm uses rigid panels and converted components to maintain insulation continuity through long runs, corners and equipment-specific profiles.
From melt to forming
Maintain a consistent thermal path across changing equipment.
Rigid panels suit large refractory faces. Converted components carry the insulation path into narrower transfer equipment.
Refiner and working end
A continuous insulation layer supports stable heat retention as molten glass is conditioned for the forming line.
Forehearth, launder and feeder bowl
Rigid panels and converted kits follow straight runs, corners and proprietary bowl geometry with less unused space.
Forming line and tempering furnace
Thin insulation fits around constrained furnace construction and helps maintain the required thermal boundary near the forming process.
Equipment applications
Match the insulation format to the equipment shape.
The product form follows the equipment, from straight forehearths to curved bowls and transfer channels.
01Stabilise the working end
Rigid formats maintain a compact insulation layer across long runs, corners and support transitions.
02Fit the feeder bowl geometry
Converted kits bring microporous performance to curved surfaces, penetrations and equipment-specific profiles.
03Follow the launder geometry
Encapsulated panels support clean handling around channel geometry, corners and casing interfaces.

01Melt
Melting furnaces, regenerators and refiners
Compact rigid backup insulation behind the refractory lining.
02Condition
Forehearth and working end
Rigid and encapsulated formats for continuous glass-conditioning runs.
03Feed
Feeder bowl kits
Converted insulation kits shaped around the feeder-bowl design.
04Transfer
Launders and tempering furnaces
Rigid formats matched to the transfer path or furnace build-up.
Operational value
Make each millimetre of insulation work harder.
Low conductivity keeps heat in the process while the compact build-up preserves space around the production line.
