Precisely curved glass up to18 meters in length

sedak has extended its production capacity in the field of curved glass. With the start of operation of its new 18 m bending furnace, the glass processing company is setting new standards in ther- mal glass bending and has underpinned its technological leader- ship for large-format functional glazing.

The new sedak bending furnace is designed for series production of cylindrically curved, fully tempered glass and thermally toughened glass in (over-)large formats of up to 3.6 x 18 meters. The bending and tempering thereby takes place in a single production process. New technology enables the fast and precise adjustment of the bending ra- dius, so that glass for projects requiring various geometries can quick- ly be produced. Depending on the width, glass can be curved to a minimum radius of 1,000 millimeters.

The first orders are already running on the sedak bending furnace. The production of a large project with glass of up to 11 meters in length is set to take place in early summer 2022.

sedak offers the complete spectrum of curved glass in almost any form. The glass panes are produced in a suitable process depending on the glass geometry. In addition to thermal bending of fully tempered glass and thermally toughened glass, sedak offers lamination bending for glass of up to 20 meters and the gravity bending process for almost any architectural free-form. The curved glass is further processed to safety glass and insulation glass and, just as for flat glass, this can be put through the complete sedak processing spectrum from gold print- ing to bullet-resistant glass.

The new sedak bending furna- ce produces cylindrically bent glass in oversize formats up to 18 meters.

Transparent and excellently curved: The glass processor sedak has once again raised the bar for the processing of special glass formats. One furnace now has a state-of- the-art bending unit for panes in oversized formats of up to 18 meters long.

The first orders are currently running on the sedak bending furnace. In the early summer, sedak will begin the produc- tion of cylindrically curved, ful- ly tempered glass in lengths of up to 11 meters.
