As a glass fabricator, you’re likely facing a few key challenges—high costs, long lead times and production downtime. Investing in a used glass tempering furnace is an efficient way to sidestep these issues, keeping your operation running without breaking the bank.
Used Glass Tempering Furnace Benefits
A used tempering furnace is an economical investment that gives you the ability to achieve high-quality results without the hefty price tag. It can provide a backup machine if your primary tempering furnace is down, which can save you more than $32,000 per shift.
With a used glass tempering furnace, you get:
- Lower investment costs: Get the equipment you need at a fraction of the price of new models.
- Faster ROI: Recoup your investment sooner with a more affordable upfront cost.
- Reduced lead times: New machines can take months to arrive, but used equipment is ready when you need it.
Finding the Right Used Tempering Furnace for Your Line
The primary consideration when shopping for used tempering furnaces is to match your production capacity, throughput and customer demands. Common used tempering furnace options include:
- Bending: Creates J and R shaped glass for photo, optical, auto, appliance and architectural applications.
- Radiation: Uses radiant heat for consistent glass tempering, ideal for small to mid-sized fabricators.
- Convection: Convection furnaces are a common choice for fabricators, providing a cost-effective way to quickly temper large volumes of glass.
- Continuous: These furnaces utilize both radiation and convection heating types, producing high volumes of tempered glass.
