Glaston introduced the Glaston Carbon Fiber Impeller Upgrade Package, a comprehensive solution designed to 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 fiber impellers, professional installation, precision balancing, and the required software update,” says Riku Färm, Vice President, Glaston Solutions.
The new upgrade package delivers up to a 20% reduction in cooling energy consumption, resulting in savings of up to $58,000 per year, while enhancing operational safety and extending equipment lifespan.
The lightweight yet high‑strength carbon‑fiber impellers reduce mechanical stress on the blower system, lowering the risk of failure and enabling smoother operation. Its ability to withstand rapid and repeated changes in speed makes it particularly well suited for modern tempering lines, resulting in longer service life, reduced maintenance needs and less unplanned downtime.
