Latest Glastory blog by Jukka Immonen is dealing with the 5 promises of convection technology in windshield bending.
By the laws of physics, convection is the most efficient way to transfer heat. But what arguments back it up in practice? Let’s dive deeper and explore beyond the laws of physics what convection heating promises to users in the glass industry.
Promise 1: No glass breakage due to temperature differences
An even temperature between the glass pair and the mold avoids glass breakage during heating. In furnaces using radiation heating, glass breakage is caused by the quick heating speeds inherent to radiation heating. The mold cannot heat as rapidly as the glass, creating too large of a temperature difference between them. As a result, the glass breaks from thermal shock before being bent. What a waste!

Glaston has closed a follow-up deal with Lippert Components Inc. for an automotive pre-processing line and an insulating glass line.
Glaston Group has closed a follow-up deal with US based Lippert Components Inc., an industry leading manufacturer and supplier to the recreational vehicle (RV), Marine, Power Sports and Mass Transit Markets, for an automotive pre-processing line and an insulating glass line. The orders are booked in Glaston’s Q4/2020 order book. The lines will be delivered during the third and fourth quarters of 2021.
In June 2020, Glaston disclosed Lippert Component Inc.’s (LCI) deal for an automotive pre-processing line, a Glaston Matrix serial bending furnace and high-performance laminating equipment. Buoyed by strong demand, LCI decided at the end of 2020 to significantly expand their new Bristol,
