Uniform heating is crucial for high-quality glass production, and traditional methods like radiation heating often fall short. Convection heating offers a revolutionary solution, providing numerous advantages that address these challenges.
Uniform Heating and Superior Quality
Convection heating ensures even temperature distribution across glass surfaces, preventing quality issues associated with uneven heating. This uniformity maintains the structural integrity and optical clarity of the glass, making it ideal for precise applications.
Efficiency
Forced convection glass tempering furnaces take less time than radiation furnaces to heat the glass, offering higher efficiency.The time it takes for a convection glass tempering furnace to heat ordinary clear glass: 35 to 40 seconds per millimetre; the time for heating Low-E glass: 40 to 50 seconds per millimetre. A forced convection tempering furnace can increase the output by 20 to 30 percent compared with that of a radiation furnace while the actual oven temperature can be lowered by approximately 20℃, resulting in 20 to 30 percent of energy savings in comparison with the radiation tempering furnace.
Versatility
Convection heating works with various glass types, whether clear, coated, or painted, providing consistent results across applications like flat glass tempering and decorative glass elements.
Improved Control
Precision control over the heating process ensures consistent quality, reducing defects and enhancing reliability.
New Industry Standards
Convection heating's uniform heating, efficiency, energy savings, and control make it a new standard in glass production. Its adoption promises superior quality and sustainability, revolutionizing the industry.
