Scratches on LowE glass

Hello everybody!

We are tempering a lot of soft coated glass.
After some testing we have decided to use corrugated cardboard to separate the different glass units on the production racks.

Nevertheless we are not fully happy with this solution because we discover some scratches caused by the paper.

Therefore we would be happy if other users could let us know what they are using to separate the glass in production.

tempering 5mm glass, beveled 25mm

Would someone give us a hint? We are experiencing 40% yield when tempering 5mm glass, with 25mm bevel, and with 2mm glass remain. We have lower the quench pressure to 50%, normally run about 70 to 85, and there are still breakage. We have set up many parameters to improve it but the result is the same.

Could someone help us with with the following :
1) top temp
2) bottom temp
3) Power setting
4) heating time
5) Quench frequency
Many thanks

Edmund Erdmann Tempering Plant

We have one of the above toughening / tempering plants in South Africa and I am looking for spares for the furnace. I have searched the web but not got anything. Does anyone out there know of a company that can or does spares for these tempering machines.

If so please email me details to mark@agisa.co.za - thanks.

Installation of pv solar panels guarantees to save money!

The technology behind photovoltaic (Pv) solar cells is very sophisticated, but the end result is very simple: converting direct and indirect sunlight into electricity. The heart of the Pv solar cell is constructed with one of the most abundant and naturally occurring elements in the world called silicon.
All materials in the production process and end of use are fully recyclable, making it one of the most environmentally friendly options available.


With the installation of pv solar panels you are literally guaranteed to both make and save money.
