TK S.r.l., headquartered in Erba (Como), Italy, specializes in advanced ovens for glass lamination, thermal tempering, chemical tempering, and Heat Soak Test (HST). With more than 270 installations across 60 countries, TK combines Italian engineering with European components to deliver reliable and energy-efficient solutions.
TK thermal tempering plants are designed to meet global demand for high-quality tempered glass in architectural, automotive, and appliance applications. Tempered glass produced with TK systems is four to five times stronger than annealed glass, withstands temperature shocks up to 200 °C, and breaks into safe, blunt fragments.
Technical specifications:
- Energy efficiency: insulated chambers and optimized heat recovery reduce energy use up to 25% compared to traditional systems.
- Heating system: hot air convection in the furnace ensures uniform sheet heating; fused silica ceramic rollers with double belts minimize optical distortion.
- Process control: each heating zone features independent thermocouples connected to a PLC; SCRs regulate power based on temperature trends. Recipes allow repeatability with precise set-point and PID adjustments.
- Cooling section: high-performance quench ensures even stress distribution and consistent flatness.
- TKonnect 4.0: remote monitoring, real-time production data, alarms, and report downloads for predictive maintenance.
TK S.r.l. delivers tailored, efficient plants that guarantee consistent glass quality and optimized production performance worldwide.
