Glassfer invests in advanced technology

The Glassfer company, a historical reference point in glass processing, has recently successfully completed the installation of Keraglass' Vision 900 Convection furnace, further upgrading its fleet of machines with a high-efficiency, high-precision solution.
 

Glassfer, founded in 1953, is based in Erba (CO) and has over 70 years of experience in flat glass processing. It stands out for its high level of customisation and ability to meet the needs of architects, designers and companies with products that combine functionality, aesthetics and technical performance, thus consolidating its position of excellence at international level.
 

‘The integration of the Keraglass Vision 900 kiln,’ comments Carlo Pina (Glassfer President), "represents a further step forward for us in the process of digitisation and production optimisation, in line with a corporate vision oriented towards excellence and sustainability. After a thorough technical analysis, we firmly chose the Keraglass system for maximum quality, flexibility, reliability and attention to energy consumption. With Vision900, we have the possibility to temper all types of glass, from painted float to low emissivity up to a thickness of 2.8 mm. Furthermore,‘ continues Pina, ’the relationship established with Keraglass' technical and commercial staff played a fundamental role in the choice of the system; together we shared experiences and solutions, customising the project according to our requests and production needs."
 

The Vision 900 stands out for its high performance in terms of heating speed and uniformity, guaranteeing a reduced thermal impact, minimising the risk of breakage and significantly improving the quality of the finished product. The plant, equipped with the interconnected “Supervision Intelligent” system, meets the technical requirements of standards 4.0 and 5.0, guaranteeing higher energy savings than traditional tempering furnaces on the market.
 

With this investment, Glassfer confirms its willingness to expand its production capacity and intercept new markets, strengthening its role in the sectors of contemporary architecture, design furniture and high-performance shipbuilding.
 

For Keraglass, investing in cutting-edge technologies is an essential element to continue innovating and offering value to customers.
 

Glassfer is grateful for this new technological milestone, a symbol of continuous growth and solid industrial culture in partnership with Keraglass.
