Efficient Hot Glass Handling – Innovative Solutions for the Glass Industry

Our product solutions are designed to optimize every step of hot glass handling. This ensures stable processes and a high-quality surface finish. Our components made from high-purity carbon materials feature low thermal conductivity and minimal abrasion, protecting the purity of the glass. Stress cracks and unwanted deposits are effectively prevented. For components subject to extreme mechanical stress, we also offer carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFC).

High-Performance Materials for Reduced Abrasion and Stress Cracks

When hot glass is cast, conveyed or guided, it inevitably comes into contact with other materials. Their surface properties determine whether scratches, cracks or deposits will occur. Choose Schunk to eliminate these risks and ensure trace-free handling. Two critical factors for a smooth production process and flawless glass quality are the functional reliability and surface characteristics of the contact materials. With our carbon components, you gain full control over both.

In glass production, everything needs to run smoothly. To prevent unplanned downtime or process deviations, we offer a comprehensive service package that supports you quickly and reliably. We are familiar with the unique challenges of container glass, tubing glass, pharmaceutical glass and household glass production. Our service concept is built on this experience – giving you the confidence of a reliable and experienced partner.
