Since its introduction last year, the prototype of Ianua's new bending and tempering furnace has been fully operational at an automotive glass plant producing glass for small sports cars and helicopters. An upgraded model of the furnace is already on the drawing board - the BTF/2 - which will have a double chamber and a capacity of more than 45 loads per hour for 3.2mm thick glass.
