A UK glass manufacturing facility recognized the need for a comprehensive modernization project to enhance productivity. This involved thorough site preparation, including cleaning multiple silos and completely removing stored products, notably the furnace hopper. The challenge was not only the limited timeframe but also ensuring the highest safety standards. BUCHEN-ICS UK was entrusted with this challenging task. Our team intervened with their revolutionary non-entry technology, highlighting their expertise beyond silo cleaning.
