    MAPPI INTERNATIONAL S.r.l., the friend of the glassmaker, of savings and of the environment

    We live in years in which attention to the environment is gradually increasing, where the commitment to be eco-sustainable has been added to the need to reduce waste, to use energy intelligently.
    For months these issues have been passing from being important to urgent, and by now the urgency is close to an emergency: every entrepreneur knows that energy efficiency and compliance with environmental regulations are priorities. Priorities for which you need someone to rely on, perhaps a friend.

    For Mappi these needs are not a surprise in recent months, but objectives that have been pursued for years. Solutions such as MHS, ESS, IHS etc. which reduce the energy consumption of the quenching furnace by up to 35%, have characterized all furnaces, both ATS and FOX, for several years. The choice of high quality and long-lasting materials, the renunciation of the use of sulfur dioxide (SO2), are eco-friendly solutions. It is not a single innovation that makes these ovens the leaders recognized all over the world, but their coordinated whole, but above all the idea behind it: putting yourself in the glazier's shoes to give him the best.

    The innovations developed over the years by Mappi's Research & Development Center ensure that the oven concentrates the heat only where the glass is present to heat it in the most homogeneous way possible and thus avoiding overheating of the rollers; the choice of insulating materials that minimize heat dispersion, automated set-ups for the tempering of all types of flat glass, are just some of the innovations that make not only the difference between a Mappi oven and another, but above all between a Glassmaker who discovered Mappi and one who does not yet know him.

    Let's try to do two calculations, an example will clarify our ideas more than a thousand words.
    1) The Mappi kiln, as it is designed, reduces energy peaks, and consequently reduces the installed power, i.e. the number of Kw that the glassworks must ask the energy manager. This is a cost that you always pay, regardless of actual consumption.

    2) Inside the heating chamber the software recognizes where the glass is present and heats only where it is necessary, and this, all other conditions being equal. it translates into savings of up to 35% as well as avoiding overheating of the rollers.

    3) When the oven is turned off at the end of the day, it can be done instantly, without waiting for the gradual cooling process which is the standard for quenching ovens to complete. It is about an hour in which the oven is on, and continues to consume energy, but it produces nothing.

    4) The same happens in the morning, thanks to much shorter ignition times: in fact the Mappi oven is able to ignite in 1 H from cold, or in 30 minutes if it had been in operation the day before. Thanks to this peculiarity of the Mappi oven it is estimated a saving of about 1,5 H per day in energy consumption.

    5) And there is another thing that the Glassmaker Mappi has discovered: thanks to his oven he can produce more, more efficiently, and above all he can produce high quality glass, going well beyond the quality standards imposed by the CE regulations. . In addition to this, thanks to the latest SUPERTEMPER innovation, it is possible to enter the E30 certified fireproof glass market by adding a simple optional to the oven.
