Improved Edge Compression for windshield bending lines
Meet OEM edge compression requirements
Three reasons for choosing the Improved Edge Compression (IEC)
1.
Improved edge compression control
2.
Higher edge compression level
3.
Improved end product quality
Improved Edge Compression for Tamglass ESU type bending furnaces
This upgrade for the ESU bending furnaces has been developed to enhance glass edge compression. Better cooling in the annealing section is the most efficient solution to achieve the required edge compression for windshields to meet OEM requirements.
In the Improved Edge Compression system, factory air is conducted to an air-air heat exchanger located inside the furnace. Since the heat exchanger has more cooling surface and air volume than in a standard model, it provides more cooling power. The bigger temperature difference between the bottom of the final bending section and the annealing section results in improved edge compression.

“We are extremely satisfied with the two latest laminating line upgrade projects. There have been considerable savings in energy consumption, which also have a positive impact on the sustainability of our everyday operations,” says Martin Geiss, Technical Manager at FLACHGLAS Wernberg. “Many concerns we used to have about quality, reliability and feasibility are a thing of the past.”

“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).
