Emirates Glass LLC, one of the leading organizations in the glass industry and a long-time advocate of Glaston technology, continues its journey of innovation and quality enhancement with the installation of the Glaston Jumbo Series flat glass tempering line featuring Vortex Pro convection technology. This investment marks Emirates Glass’s commitment to delivering top-notch architectural glass solutions to the region and far beyond.
“We can proudly say that 60 percent of Dubai is glazed by Emirates Glass,” said Rizwanulla Khan, Executive President of Emirates Glass, who has been associated with the industry for the past four decades.
Expanding to jumbo glass with a new line
To serve evolving market demands, Emirates Glass has continuously invested in new machinery. Their latest addition is the Glaston Jumbo Series tempering furnace with Vortex Pro convection technology. This new line is capable of processing high-performance coated glass with emissivity levels as low as 0.02 and a maximum glass size of up to 8 metres.
This investment complements the company’s two other Glaston tempering lines – the Glaston ProE MAGNUM and Glaston RC200.
“Our Glaston MAGNUM machine dates back to 2006,” Khan said. “We have been running it round the clock for all these years, and it still operates perfectly. This gave us the confidence that our next machine should be from Glaston, as well.”
Achieving remarkable differences
The new tempering line was delivered in November 2020 and has since been a game-changer for Emirates Glass.
“We especially appreciate the Glaston Jumbo’s convection control and the Glaston iLooK online quality control for distortion and anisotropy,” Khan said. “Even our customers have noticed a significant improvement in the quality of the glass they receive. We have been able to reach better optical quality and refined aesthetic glass characteristics in part thanks to the anisotropy control. This has elevated overall customer satisfaction and bolstered our reputation for delivering superior glass products.”
The Glaston Jumbo Series has brought about considerable savings, too. “Today, the industry is looking to reduce energy costs in production,” Khan noted. “Glass processors expect their machinery to efficiently process large volumes of glass. This is exactly what we were able to achieve with the Glaston Jumbo’s effective air and electricity consumption.”
