At glasstec this year, Vesuvius had on show a complete range of its fused silica products, which are supplied worldwide to different segments of the glass industry, offering customized products to fit clients’ applications.
Vesuvius’ Fused Silica Division is a worldwide leading supplier of fused silica products used in primary glass fabricating, glass forming, heat treatment, speciality steel and photovoltaic industries.
In addition to having manufacturing capabilities on three continents, Vesuvius also has an extensive technical expertise to support its existing market segments as well as to assist in the development of new solutions for applications such as thin film coating systems, diffusion furnaces, and crystal fusion.
Vesuvius Fused Silica division is a worldwide leader serving different segments of the glass industry and offering customized products to fit its customers’ applications, among which:
– flat glass processing, with products for the automotive, architectural and solar glass industries;
– electronic glass processing;
– flat glass tempering;
– optical, artistic and technical glass.
Zyarock® Tweels and Flat Arches have been engineered to optimize the atmosphere and flow control of glass in float lines, ensuring high glass quality production.
Zyarock® Lehr and Lift-out Rollers take full advantage of the very low reactivity with tin oxide at low temperature typically found in the dross box. They support the glass with minimum thermal and chemical interaction.
Zyalite™ Rolls are made from highly compressed ceramic fibers, which provide a very durable conveying surface, virtually resistant to transfer of material to the roll surface or back the surface of the glass. This technology is used for the production of active matrix glass for LCD applications, but also in rolled and float glass annealing lehrs, and for the vertical draw processes.
Smartly Driven® Tempering Rollers are manufactured under strict controls to provide optimum ceramic physical properties for stability at ambient and through the highest heat-treating temperatures.
Vesuvius provides the finest surface finish, the tightest dimensional tolerances, and the best hot TIR in the market.
Zyafoam® insulating products are fused silica insulating foam engineered as a dust-free and fiber-free insulating product for the lining of heated chambers.
Zyarock® ArtecTM pot is a high purity fused silica pot for melting and conditioning of artistic, crystal and opal glass in single and multi-pot melting furnaces at temperatures up to 1450°C.
Zyarock® ArtecTM pot is best suited for the production of high quality artistic, crystal and opal glass with special requirements to chemistry and colour consistency.
The Zyarock® Shadow wall has been developed as an ultimate solution for float glass producers to improve atmosphere separation between melting and glass conditioning area. Tight atmosphere control in the waist area is key to manufacture high quality float glass. Zyarock® Shadow wall is tailored to the requirements and conditions of the final users; the unique manufacturing process allows manufacturing of complex shapes and specific dimensions.
