Demonstration Planning for a Flat Glass Tempering Furnace

Buyers should require a demonstration using their own glass sizes and thicknesses, then verify results against agreed acceptance criteria before committing to a flat glass tempering furnace purchase.

A buyer specifying a flat glass tempering furnace should make one decision early: the demonstration must run the buyer's own glass, not a supplier-selected sample. Ask the supplier to process pieces spanning your actual production range, including the smallest and largest formats you intend to run.

Use the catalog reference values as a starting point for that conversation: maximum glass dimensions of 2,440 × 4,200 mm, minimum glass dimensions of 150 × 350 mm, and glass thickness of 4–19 mm. Treat these as reference values only and confirm they apply to the offered model. In the request for quotation, ask which of your sizes fall inside the quoted working range and which require special handling.

For the demonstration, agree in advance on the glass types, thicknesses, and sizes to be run, how many pieces per condition, and how results will be judged. Ask whether the 1,000 kVA installed electrical capacity is sufficient for the demonstration load and for your planned mix. During acceptance testing, compare output from your own material against the agreed criteria rather than relying on a general demonstration.

Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which of your glass sizes and thicknesses the offered furnace can process, what material the demonstration will use, and how acceptance will be measured.
