Flat glass

Tempering is a vital step in the production of float glass, which gives the final product its required strength. For the process to be done efficiently, glass tempering furnaces need to offer precise heat and reliability, and this often comes down to the choice of heating elements.

The proliferation of smartphones and tablets has created huge global demand for display glass, and the fusion process is one common method for achieving the required quality. With many manufacturers operating around the clock, using a long-life and durable heating solution is essential.

Within flat glass manufacturing, float baths need to be built to last. Typically, they operate 24/7 with the bath expected to run in excess of 15 years, so it’s essential that heating elements can deliver reliable performance year after year.
