How electric heating can help foam glass manufacturers reach their full potential

With recycled materials and an environmentally friendly process, the foam glass manufacturing process contributes to a more sustainable world.

Why heating is key to producing high-quality optical fiber cables

Sintering of optical fibers is crucial since the fiber optic cables need to be developed with a specific refractive index to be able to transmit wavelengths.

Gas or electric: which is best for glass annealing lehrs?

Using electric heating instead of traditional gas, controlled temperature and even distribution is achieved after the forming process of glass annealing lehrs.
