Manufacturer of thermal equipment for the glass industry Vidromecanica has developed an oven designed to make it easier and faster for operators to work.

The improved oven features mobile carrier cars that can circulate through the manufacturing floor, facilitating the transport of the moulds and eliminating transfer operations.

Vidromecanica produces modern mould preheating kilns adapted to the glass industry demands, furnished with advanced temperature controls and heating systems.

The company uses three different heating systems that are chosen according to production demands: gas with direct flame, gas with isolated flame, or electrical.

Each system benefits from a specially designed chamber interior and recirculation ducts, along with a recirculator specific to the heating type.

To place the moulds inside Vidromecanica uses carrier carts with special wheels and charging tables, on which the moulds are placed to be heated and withdrawn when they come out of the kiln.

Automatic operation of the carts and of the door opening/closing helps to ensure a smooth and energy-saving operation.

Vidromecanica’s standard kilns can have up to four mould carrier carts and four independent doors, allowing the moulds to be placed by sector and reducing energy losses when taking the mould out.
