Glaston introduces the Glaston Carbon Fibre Impeller Upgrade Package, a comprehensive solution designed to significantly improve energy efficiency, safety and reliability in glass tempering line cooling.
“This option has been on the market for some time now, but what is different with us is that our package is the only solution that ensures customers receive everything they need and that is promised: carbon fibre impellers, professional installation, precision balancing, and the required software update,” said Riku Färm, Vice President, Glaston Solutions.
The new upgrade package delivers up to a 20 percent reduction in cooling energy consumption, resulting in savings of up to EUR 50,000 per year, while enhancing operational safety and extending equipment lifespan. Unlike stand-alone component offerings, this solution includes not only high-performance carbon-fibre impellers but also the fully engineered package required to ensure the promised performance gains.
The lightweight yet high‑strength carbon-fibre impellers reduce mechanical stress on the blower system, lowering the risk of failure and enabling smoother operation. Their ability to withstand rapid and repeated changes in speed makes them particularly well suited for modern tempering lines, resulting in longer service life, reduced maintenance needs and less unplanned downtime.
The Carbon Fibre Impeller Upgrade Package is designed to deliver measurable results from day one. The package includes:
- Carbon‑fibre impellers engineered for glass tempering applications
- Professional on‑site installation by Glaston experts
- Precision balancing to ensure optimal performance and longevity
- Required software updates to fully enable energy‑efficiency and safety benefits
The upgrade package is available for both new and existing tempering lines, offering customers a fast and cost‑effective way to modernise their equipment. With increasing focus on energy efficiency, workplace safety and production reliability, the Carbon Fibre Impeller Upgrade Package supports glass processors in meeting today’s performance expectations and future sustainability targets.
“The Carbon Fibre Impeller Upgrade Package is part of Glaston’s ongoing commitment to developing smart, sustainable solutions that help customers get more value from their existing equipment,” said Robert Jenks, EVP Glaston Services.
