CHAMBER FURNACES
FOR FUSING AND GLASS

Powerful chamber furnace for fusing, bending glass, production of stained glass and decoration on flat glass. Precise Thermal Processes – Kepka furnaces guarantee clean and safe work due to specially designed flat surface Kepka furnaces ensuring perfect thermal processes due to heating elements, which ensure an even temperature distribution during fusing or bending overt the entire surface of the table. Fibrous insulation in the furnace lid and fiber materials resistant to thermal shocks and thermal expansion

Kepka Chamber Furnace for Glass and Fusing is perfect choice for artist who enjoy working with glass. It is also an ideal tool for producers, manufacturing, among others, glass shop counters or other products that require glass bending. Thermal insulation with a very conductive thermal conductivity (0.15 W/mK), production from pressed fibrous materials ensures low electricity consumption, quick temperature reaching and uniform cooling. Equal lining of the bottom of the chamber are insulated with fibrous material to eliminate the difference in thermal expansion of ceramic materials, thermal accumulation of insulation and glass. Heating elements are placed on the roof of the working chamber in the form of a spiral in quartz glass tubes – heat transfer by radiation, very leveled from the lowest temperatures.

Read about heating elements...

Closely arranged heating elements protected in resistant wires based on Kanthal products ensure very good temperature accuracy during fusing or bending on the complete area of the table. All models have an appealing, dual-shell stainless steel housing. The optimized electrical connected load ensures that the glass heats up quickly.

Auto-Tune Function

AutoTune Function – automatic tuning of the furnace operating conditions depending on the type of charge, process characteristics, technology. In PID control, the output reacts depending on the value of 3 parameters: Proportional, Integral and Derivative. The values of these parameters affect the delivery of the correct amount of power to maintain the temperature at the reference signal without oscillation. For stable, vibration-free control of the object – the values of these 3 parameters must be matched to the characteristics of the controlled process. This function is performed automatically using an advanced self-tuning algorithm in all controllers installed in Kepka Fusing nad Glass Chamber Furnaces.
