With over 50 years of process and machine building experience, Glaston HTBS is the answer to the most challenging needs of the automotive, appliance and furniture glass industries.
It’s the #1 choice for the most demanding glasses, such as hopper glasses, which are large sidelites up to 2,400 x 1,700 mm with wide printed areas and cutouts. Whether you are producing big sidelites or small vents, the HTBS product range
covers it.
Quality comes through controllability. High control resolution in heating and convection combined with Roller Heat Control (RHC), the most responsive control for heating, results in a flawless end product. This eliminates disturbances and maintains a stable temperature.
With optional Vortex Pro convection control, an operator can even set convection to follow the glass and set a glass-specific profile. In this way, heat and air are introduced only to the desired areas.

Tim Widner at Lippert Components in the US is sharing his and his team's experiences working with the Glaston glass processing machinery. "The new equipment has been a great addition to us. We are able to one-piece flow our raw material through our line, hands-free. No humans come in contact with the glass until it is fully tempered and at the end of the process."
