In the glass industry, technological innovation is the key to meeting the challenges of a constantly evolving market, where quality, flexibility and customisation are essential requirements. Within this context comes AIR STREAM, the static hot-air laminating kiln designed by Keraglass to offer maximum versatility in the lamination of glass combined with other materials.
Technology and flexibility at the service of lamination
AIR STREAM is a multi-level system available in various sizes, developed to work with plastic interlayers such as EVA, PVB, SGP, Sentryglas, PET and LCD, thus covering all the main needs of glass lamination.
Its robust structure is designed for high-intensity production environments. Inside, a single chamber can accommodate up to three lamination trolleys, allowing optimal management of work cycles.
The chamber is equipped with two access doors positioned on opposite short sides—a configuration designed to maximise accessibility and facilitate maintenance and loading/unloading operations, enabling trolley insertion and extraction from both sides.
The system’s real strength lies in its innovative hot-air heating system: the glass sheets are heated through a horizontal flow of directed hot air. This approach ensures homogeneous and uniform heating, preventing localised overheating.
Furthermore, during the work cycle, the air flow automatically reverses direction, guaranteeing consistent thermal distribution even in the presence of complex geometries.
Next-level lamination
AIR STREAM is not just a kiln for laminating standard glass—it’s a complete solution for a wide range of applications:
- Lamination of flat and curved glass, LCD, and SGP.
- Glass-marble and glass-ceramic combinations, ideal for architectural and design applications.
- Controlled drying of materials such as marble and ceramic prior to subsequent lamination.
- Special processes such as decorated doors or artistic elements made with heat-sensitive materials.
Thanks to precise control of hot-air flow and optimised temperature management, AIR STREAM guarantees consistent results, reducing the risk of imperfections even in the most complex applications.
One machine, multiple opportunities
The design philosophy behind AIR STREAM is based on a simple yet highly effective concept: a multifunctional machine capable of adapting to different production needs, giving companies the opportunity to expand their product range with a single investment.
Conclusions
With AIR STREAM, glass lamination enters a new era—more versatile, more productive, and more quality-oriented.
It is the concrete answer for all companies looking to bring innovative solutions to the market, enhance their know-how and grow in a competitive environment with solid, efficient technology.
