TK S.r.l., a leader in glass processing technology, has released a detailed 3D video showcasing its TK Chemical Temper ovens. Built entirely at TK’s Erba headquarters, the ovens are designed for precision chemical tempering, where glass undergoes ion exchange in a molten potassium nitrate salt bath to achieve exceptional resistance to impact and bending.
The video illustrates the full cycle: pre-heating chambers that stabilize the glass temperature, immersion in a heavy-duty stainless-steel salt tank with advanced thermal insulation, and the controlled cooling phase that locks in the compressive surface layer.
It also highlights TK’s electromechanical lifting system for smooth glass handling, a fully programmable touchscreen control panel with recipe storage, and reinforced structures that guarantee uniform treatment across large or thin formats.
Serving industries from automotive to consumer electronics, the 3D animation not only demonstrates machine performance but also acts as a global training and sales tool, reflecting TK’s “Made in Italy” precision.
