Additional heating chamber
Significant increase in line throughput
Looking to increase throughput? Three reasons for choosing an additional heating chamber upgrade
1.
Considerable boost in line throughput
2.
High quality and energy efficiency
3.
Minimal investment cost in factory
infrastructure
Quick and cost-efficient upgrade to double-chamber production
The additional heating chamber is designed to be a quick and cost-efficient modification from single-chamber to double-chamber production, providing a significant boost to total line throughput. Depending on glass type and thickness, this upgrade increases line capacity on average up to 80% with clear glasses of less than 8 mm.
The double-chamber process uses less energy per processed glass square meter than a single-chamber process. This solution also enables you to achieve enhanced optical quality, since the glass reaches temperature stability quicker with a shorter heating time under high temperature.

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."
