Product Description
Product Introduction:
The GX-YC Lengthwise Bending & Tempering Furnace heats flat glass above 630°C until it becomes pliable. Segmented rollers then lift at calculated intervals to shape the glass along its length direction—this is what "lengthwise bending" means.
After shaping, high-pressure air jets cool the glass rapidly. This traps compressive stress in the surface layer, creating safety glass that crumbles into small pieces rather than sharp shards when broken. The entire heating-bending-tempering cycle happens in one continuous pass.
Technical Characteristics
The Product GX-YC Lengthwise Bending & Tempering Furnace stands out due to its mechanical stability. We use a mature supply chain to source components that ensure the equipment operates with minimal vibration. The bending radius is fully adjustable via the digital control system, allowing you to switch between different project specifications with minimal downtime. Furthermore, the specialized airflow design ensures that even thin glass panels maintain perfect edge quality.
Application
Where can you use the glass produced by our Product GX-YC Lengthwise Bending & Tempering Furnace?
· Architectural Masterpieces: Curved glass for curtain walls, windows, and structural partitions.
· Modern Furniture: Elegant curved glass for display cabinets, shelving, and tables.
· Home Appliances: Specialized panels for ovens or high-end kitchen aesthetics.
· Industrial Safety: Protective barriers and machine guards requiring specific curvatures.
Features and Advantages
Low-E Glass Compatibility: Most bent glass production equipment struggles with coated glass. Our forced convection system processes single, double, and triple silver Low-E without coating damage. Glass processors handling architectural projects find this capability critical—Low-E dominates modern facade specifications.
Optical Quality You Can Measure: Wind spots and roller marks kill curved glass aesthetics. Our quench nozzle arrangement and roller surface treatment reduce visible distortion. Clients report passing optical inspection standards that rejected glass from previous equipment.
Energy Numbers That Matter: The heating chamber uses optimized insulation and convection patterns. Compared to radiation-only systems, forced convection cuts heating time by roughly 30%. Lower cycle times mean lower per-piece energy costs.
Operator-Friendly Controls: The PLC stores recipes for different glass types and radii. Your operators select a preset, load glass, and the system handles temperature ramps, roller positions, and quench timing automatically. Training new staff takes days, not weeks.
Technical Parameters
Structural Overview
The Product GX-YC Lengthwise Bending & Tempering Furnace is built with a robust, modular architecture designed for 24/7 industrial operation:
1. Loading Table: Equipped with high-precision rollers to ensure smooth entry of the raw glass panels.
2. Heating Chamber: Features high-density insulation and top-tier convection fans for stable thermal environments.
3. Bending & Quenching Section: The heart of the machine where the longitudinal curve is formed using specialized adjustable molds and high-pressure air nozzles.
4. Unloading Area: Designed for safe removal and inspection of the finished curved safety glass.
5. Control Cabinet: Houses the high-end PLC and electrical components that ensure the furnace's long-term stability and reliability.
Working Principle
The process begins with the glass entering the heating chamber of the Product GX-YC Lengthwise Bending & Tempering Furnace, where it is heated to its softening point using forced convection. As the glass transitions to the quenching section, the longitudinal bending mechanism precisely adjusts to the required radius. Simultaneously, high-pressure air is blown onto both surfaces to "freeze" the glass in its curved state, creating the internal tension required for safety tempering.
