Emirates Glass LLC recently installed the Glaston Jumbo Series flat glass tempering line featuring Vortex Pro convection technology. This investment aims to help Emirates Glass’ commitment to delivering architectural glass solutions to the region and far beyond.
Reasons for the new line
According to Rizwanulla Khan, executive president, Emirates Glass, the industry is looking for high-performance double- and triple-glazed insulated glass products with the lowest possible emissivity.
“Another trend globally is toward oversized glass panels. Some of the biggest corporations require jumbo-sized glasses for their showrooms. And as a supplier, we are taking the lead,” Khan says.
To serve evolving market demands, Emirates Glass has invested in new machinery. Its latest addition is the Glaston Jumbo Series tempering furnace with Vortex Pro convection technology. This new line is capable of processing high-performance coated glass with emissivity levels as low as 0.02 and a maximum glass size of up to 8 meters.
This investment complements the company’s two other Glaston tempering lines, the Glaston ProE MAGNUM and Glaston RC200.
Benefits of the new line
“We especially appreciate the Glaston Jumbo’s convection control and the Glaston iLooK online quality control for distortion and anisotropy,” Khan says. “Even our customers have noticed a significant improvement in the quality of the glass they receive. We have been able to reach better optical quality and refined aesthetic glass characteristics in part thanks to the anisotropy control. This has elevated overall customer satisfaction and bolstered our reputation for delivering superior glass products.”
The Glaston Jumbo Series has brought savings, too. “Today, the industry is looking to reduce energy costs in production. Glass processors expect their machinery to efficiently process large volumes of glass. This is exactly what we were able to achieve with the Glaston Jumbo’s effective air and electricity consumption,” Khan adds.
