Tim Widner at Lippert Components in the US is sharing his and his team’s experiences working with the Glaston glass processing machinery.
Glaston was our first stop. We consider Glaston to be a one-stop shop service provider. Now that they’ve added integrated cut-break-grinding cells and the ability to batch and load through the furnace, we really didn’t look anywhere else other than a washer for where to get our equipment.
The new equipment has been a great addition to us. We are able to one-piece flow our raw material through our line, hands-free. No humans come in contact with the glass until it is fully tempered and at the end of the process.

“When we buy a new TV or piece of furniture for our home, it gives us good vibes – a nice feeling. In a similar way, we chose to upgrade our tempering furnace to make things easier and better for our team, so their work would be more enjoyable,” says Pedro Aguilar, Managing Director of Vitropor.
