Developments in coating technology mean that glass performance has considerably improved in recent years.

The new Tamglass Sonic system (pictured above) is specifically tailored to suit the off-line coated low E glass products that are rapidly gaining market share in window and architectural applications.

The special challenges set by the handling and tempering of Super Low-E glass products have considerably affected the whole production chain.

The new Sonic furnace from Tamglass answers these challenges. It concept is based on the patent profiled high convection heating system with ultra-speed convection blower technology.

High convection heating

The convection heating system itself brings important advantages that add up to increased capacity.

The efficiency of the Sonic heating system has been measured to bring up to the processing speed of 33 sec/mm in continuous processing of Super low-E products, a world record processing performance.

Today flexible and mixed production is a necessity in competition .This means that the processors must have the capacity to process all commercial and temperable glass types including those with Super Low-E coating.

The extreme flexibility and adaptability required from the process underlines the importance of automatic heating and cooling control in line with recipes specified for each type of glass to be processed. Rapid adaptation of machine settings underscores the importance of automation.
