Reduce your risk and upgrade now!


Service Upgrade Kits for older IG Manufacturing Equipment

1.

Electronic components are discontinued?

This happens faster than you think and 1:1 replacement is almost never possible. In the event of damage, you first have to make complex hardware and software adjustments in order to be able to produce again. Long downtimes are then unavoidable.

2.

Earn money reliably even with our older machines

Avoid financial losses due to incalculable situations. Our specialists from the Glaston Service Upgrade Team analyse your system. You will receive a qualified risk analysis from us, which will serve as a basis for decisions on how to proceed.

3.

Various upgrade kits available

We have developed and prepared various upgrade kits for you, which we offer at a calculable fixed price plus installation costs. Leave nothing to chance – be proactive and upgrade your IG manufacturing equipment now!

All at a glance.


The procedure step by step:

  • Hardware components that are no longer available must be replaced
  • Within a few weeks, we deliver prepared upgrade kits, install them in your systems and make any necessary adjustments
  • Plannable conversion duration, e.g. by use of maintenance slots
  • Afterwards, the new components are again available from stock
  • Training of your staff through instruction in the new components
  • Updating of the machine documentation and modification of the spare parts lists

“Glaston Vortex Pro convection added to Glaston’s FC tempering furnace is making all the difference. With mixed loads and different sizes, this combo is a no-brainer. We would not be able to realize all the benefits without Vortex Pro’s extra functionality. I’m now wishing we had it on all our lines,” says Cory Brown, Director of Operations at United Plate Glass (UPG).
