French-based Selas announced that in October 1995 South Korean Daewon ordered a bending and tempering lehr for automotive glass (TOSC 2300-4CH). According to Selas, the machine is similar to the machines that were installed in a mainland Chinese firm in 1995. The only difference being the higher capacity of the machine to be placed in the Korean company. This second order, explained Selas, confirms the customer“s attraction to this type of concept. In fact, continued the company, this installation is capable of producing both sidelights and backlights for buses and minibuses, at a rate of 210 and 100 pieces per hour respectively, by means of the Selas shuttle process. Furthermore, the units delivered to the company in China also process tempered zone windscreens. A contract for a three heating chamber TOSC with shuttle has been confirmed by Lung TA of Taiwan. Selas explained that this “faithful” customer is already equipped with a vertical bending and tempering lehr (VBTS) for automotive glass and a horizontal bending and tempering lehr (TOSC). Selas also stated that it carries out the design for equipment sold by its subsidiary Selas Italiana. Veneto Vetro placed an order for a vertical bending and tempering lehr (VBTS) for architectural glass. And a horizontal bending and tempering press machine with adjustable mould (Selas patent) also for architectural glass was ordered by Nuova Protex. Additionally, a continuous bending and tempering lehr (TO) for automotive sidelights and backlights producing original mounted parts for 100,000 vehicles per year has been designed for installation in a Russian firm. This TO is the first continuous furnace equipped with a TOSC type shuttle, to process the backlights, asserted Selas. Finally, a horizontal batch tempering and bending lehr for architectural glass (HBTB), ordered by Chen Tong, a Taiwanese investor, is to be installed at Kushan, in mainland China. This lehr is similar to the Isiglass lehr.
