Fully automatic furnace bed loading and unloading system

Type: HAS-TFB-L/U

With this system, a tempering furnace bed can not only be loaded quicker and more continuous, but also automatically unloaded again and the glass lites separated. A decisive factor of our system is that we do not touch the coated glass surface on any glass lite during the loading, nesting, unloading or separation of each glass lite.

The best way to reduce the tempering costs per ft² is to increase:
a) glass density of the bed loading
b) number of oven loads per hour


Main features of our system:

  • No manual glass handling - neither at the inlet side nor at the outlet side of the furnace
  • No limitation of glass size except nothing smaller than 16 x 16”
  • For rectangular and square glass sheets (straight line shapes on request)
  • No limitation in relation to the weight of the glass
  • No limitation for soft coatings or low-e glass
  • We never touch the coated glass surface
  • Glass panes can be rotated by +/- 90 degrees
  • Highly efficient mechanical nesting on the tempering bed
  • Individual glass sheet loading adjusted for best tempering quality
  • Faster and continuous bed loading
  • Higher furnace loading per hour, more cycles
  • Our loading side and unloading side communicate with each other = "continuity"
  • Better tempered glass quality through continuous loading
  • Reduction of costs per ft² of tempered glass due to higher plant utilization
  • Potential savings in personnel
  • No risk of injury to personnel
  • No loading errors
  • Reduced CO2 costs per m² of tempered glass
