Safe glass handling through materials know-how

Our leading solutions for all aspects of contact with hot glass



Durafire® Glass - The material innovation for safe glass handling and high productivity

Make your glass handling even safer and more productive - with Durafire® Glass. Reinforced with random fibers, components made from this CFC material offer unparalleled strength in all directions while protecting your glass products. Our material innovation shows its strengths particularly in long campaigns in container glass production and ensures less plant downtime and high productivity.

The best for your glass handling - benefit from our wealth of experience and our tailor-made carbon components all around the production of glass. Whether container glass, tubular glass, household glass, pharmaceutical glass, flat glass, etc - with their high oxidation resistance and abrasion resistance, our materials and components ensure that hot and sensitive glass products are guided through the manufacturing process safely, efficiently and trouble-free. This helps prevent stress cracks as well as buildup and achieve long service lives.

When materials leave nothing behind in glass handling but satisfaction

When hot glass is cast, guided and steered, it comes into contact with other materials. The nature of these materials determines whether scratches, cracks or other residues occur. In glass production, therefore, auxiliary materials are needed that have no negative influence on the glass product. This is where Schunk's non-marking quality comes into play. Our solutions convince with a high heat dissipation from the soft glass during handling as well as a high oxidation resistance and thus a long service life. With our material know-how in glass handling, you achieve that your glass products are free of marks, stress cracks and adhesions.
