Push contacts
(Push hands, transfer paddles, teeth & arching bars, stabilizing fingers, sabers,…)
- Over 15 million contacts with the same part equipped with our NefaGlass ® SO Strip (*)
(*Machine IS 12 sections, 2 poses, 250 articles of 450g per minute, Skin temperature of 720°C)
- Available by the meter or in "ready-to-use" lengths
- Can be welded directly onto existing parts
- Easily adaptable to different article shapes
- Lifespan increased tenfold
- No micro-glaze
- Excellent chemical resistance ( SnCl4, lubricants… )
- …
Vacuum/Gripping Contact
(Vacuum pads, mechanical extraction pliers/grips, manual unlocking pliers and forks… )
- Vacuum pads: Guaranteed optimal suction without preheating while preserving the integrity of the product
For decades, we have been working with the leading tableware glass manufacturers, adapting to new sizes, shapes, weights, colours, material developments and various innovations.
- Easily adapts to existing equipment
- No glass marking due to a "soft" contact
- Excellent thermal and mechanical resistance
- Unmatched lifespan
Specific contacts
(Forming-bombing, banderillas, transport cages-baskets,…)
- No thermal shock or marking at contact points
Another very delicate phase during which the glass must not be subjected to any thermal shock with the supports/frames-skeletons on which it will take its final shape.
- Limits thermal shock
- Fits perfectly with existing equipment
- No glass marking due to a "soft" contact
- Excellent thermal and mechanical resistance
Sealing of the axes (top roll and camera) on float furnaces
(Reduces hydrogen output and oxygen input, preventing tin haze from forming on the glass surface.)
Custom-made Bellows, adapted to your production equipment.
- Optimize the maintenance of the TIN COUNT value (tin value) within standards.
- VS Stainless steel Bellows:
- Accept a wide working angle
- Increased service life and sealing quality
- Accept a greater working angle
- Increased lifespan and improved sealing quality
- Hot side made of high temperature textile (1000°C), resistant to flashback compared to a classic textile construction and cold side silicon coated to protect from external elements.
- Quick fastening due to textile loops ensuring long-term fastening.
Attached example: Float furnace 70 m long producing approximately 530 tonnes of glass /day.
Oven temperature 1100° / Tin bath temperature 1000°.
Flat glass flow rate: 5 to 20 meters/min depending on the thickness of the glass.
Installation of 28 bellows across all axles.
Protective, Insulating and Sealing Curtains
Guarantees the protection of personnel and Stakers mechanisms, insulating the entrances/exits of the annealing arch
- Delivered ready to assemble with fastening system ( eyelets, loops… )
- from 500°C to 1390°C
- Available as a thermal zone separator, splash guard, radiation shield…
- Solid, slatted, made of wire, with ballast...
- Custom-made quilted, versatile and easy to handle
Insulation Jacket
-
Limits heat loss to save energy and improve the efficiency of your system
-
Reduces energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions
-
Provides protection against burns from the touch.
Insulation is commonly used in applications where there is a large temperature difference between the process and the ambient air. In this case, the aim is to limit convection and conduction of the hot element.
Each thermal insulation unit is custom-made with materials adapted to its specific requirements. It generally consists of insulation encapsulated in a thermally resistant fabric, "on the warm side", and a waterproof finishing fabric, "on the cold side".
Its scope of application is vast and its variations varied; it can also meet additional constraints, such as mechanical and chemical ones.
Protection of critical cables/flexibles/hoses up to 1390°C
-
Protection of cables / flexibles / hoses against extreme accidents : flashback, projection of molten materials, slag… and limits unscheduled production stoppages.
-
Provides effective and lasting protection against daily process-related aggressions : heat, abrasion, splashes
-
Increases the lifespan of cables/flexible cables by >20% with a very tangible ROI
-
Reduces maintenance and increases equipment lifespan
-
Modularity and adaptability : it slips onto your cables/flexible hoses independently
- Withstands temperatures up to 1390°C with excellent resistance to direct flames
- Fire protection of critical cables ( emergency stop hoses, fire alarm hoses, fire extinguisher cables, etc. )
- Flexibility and bendability maintained
- Over-braiding is available at our factory, directly on your equipment.
- Numerous options available, including simple terminations or terminations with connectors:
Protection of intervention teams
- Versatile for use as a shield or cover
- Quick installation and high resistance to thermal shock
- Reinforced and self-supporting
- Made to measure, perfectly adapts to maintenance
- Very lightweight, can be used as a shield or heat screen
- Option to add hooks for storage
- Mechanical reinforcements can be added to compensate for abrasion during handling.
- Due to its encapsulation, no fibers are airborne.
- Excellent mechanical and thermal performance
