Glass types
Clear float glass and tinted float glass.
Printed or enameled glass.
Low-e glass (Incl. 3-silver soft coat low-e).
Frosty, patterned (not all patterns), or sand blasted glass, often at lower production rate.
Glass quality standard and finished product ratio
Standard: latest versions of GB15763, EN12150 or ANSI Z97.1.
Finished Production Ratio ≥ 98%
As of 1/4″ clear tempered glass, Bow ≤ 0.06” per 40”, Roller wave 0.01” per 12”.
1/8” online inspection record to show flatness.
- Independently controlled heating zones for uniform temperature distribution.
- High-quality Cr20Ni80 heating elements for durability and efficiency.
- Powerful high-temperature convection fans (no water cooling required).
- Innovative aspiration system with heat recovery (70–80% heat recovery efficiency).
- Roller speed synchronization to eliminate surface defects.
- Optimized oscillation control for improved glass flatness and optical quality.
- Multi-zone flat chiller with trimmed quenching to reduce energy use and peak power load.
