    TP COMPACT: the revolution in glass tempering

    The new TP Compact oven for tempering glass is a product of which we are particularly proud, since, with this model, we have managed not only to improve the performance and efficiency of the previous one in the same series, but to completely unhinge the traditional conception of quenching furnaces, which normally make them perceive as beyond the possibilities of a small or medium glass factory. This machine best embodies all our values ​​and all the strengths of the company, as well as all the advantages that our customers have shown to appreciate the most. What preconceptions have we unhinged? Here they are in detail:

    Quenching furnaces need to be very large to produce as much as possible.

    We think that the kiln should work for the glassware, not the other way around. The TP Compact is a compact oven with variable load dimensions, ranging from 1300 × 3200 to 1900 × 3600 (1,3 meters x 3,2 meters and 1,9 meters x 3,6 meters), with some intermediate sizes. The total length of the system is approximately 17/18 meters, depending on the various types, and the entire electrical system but above all the fan cabin are located next to the machine, without the need for installations outside the factory.

    The TP Compact is the only furnace of its kind designed for small and medium-sized glassworks, which do not have a production volume such as to justify the purchase of a classic 2500 × 5000 tempering furnace. In the market right now, the trend is to offer larger machines, often with lower quality components and at reduced prices. The apparent savings, however, are quickly canceled out, between installation costs that require significant adaptation work in your plant and energy costs that soar, especially with classic quenching furnaces that must be kept on constantly once. put into operation, to avoid damage caused by large temperature variations and also prohibitive start-up times.

    Quenching furnaces cannot be turned off

    This is one of the main problems that push small and medium-sized glassworks not to buy quenching furnaces. If the oven cannot be turned off and therefore consumes constantly, the only way to justify the costs is to have it work in a continuous cycle, which would mean, in some cases, distorting the work of the glassmaker, transforming it into a "hardener" job. . Mazzaroppi has solved this problem with the TP Compact, which can be switched off every day and which takes only an hour to reach the necessary temperature of 680 ° once switched on - time that drops to half an hour if the oven has worked the previous day. This allows you to optimize consumption, keeping the oven on only when it is actually needed, that is when the machine produces and therefore generates value.

    Quenching furnaces must have a very powerful energy system and consume a lot

    In terms of energy optimization, this model is perhaps our biggest success to date. With the new TP Compact, thanks to an intelligent electronic management system, we have in fact managed to reduce consumption by a further 30% compared to the previous one, which means that our oven consumes less than half of those of our European competitors and about a third of those of Asian competitors. In proportion, the electrical system needed to keep it running is also significantly less. For a company that thinks in terms of investment in its future, a TP Compact oven translates into savings of several thousand euros every month. In addition, no infrastructure adaptation works are required for

    allow installation, which also reduces startup costs, as well as usage costs.

    Quenching furnaces are slow in changing processing from one type of thickness to another

    Many small glassworks do not derive any benefit from using a traditional tempering furnace, as the time required for thickness changes forces them to organize production by dedicating a whole day to just one thickness - which is impossible for small and medium-sized glassworks that they focus on the single piece and not on large quantities. The TP Compact, on the other hand, offers the possibility to change the thickness in a very short time, without interruption, therefore without ever interrupting the work flow. This also allows small glass producers to conquer a market that often requires each company to carry out many different processes, but often requires few pieces for processing. The time taken for thickness changes is about half of that guaranteed by our European competitors, while, compared to the Chinese ones, it is one third on compact dimensions and one quarter on large ones.

    THE TP COMPACT ALLOWS EVEN SMALL GLASSWARE TO BUY THE OVEN THEY HAVE ALWAYS WANTED, WITHOUT DISTURBING THE PRODUCTION.

    This product is designed for a specific range of entrepreneurs and was created with their daily needs in mind. Very low, compared to the market average, are also i Costs related to maintenance. We at Mazzaroppi, in fact, choose to invest in the quality of the materials and the project, so as to put on the market only machinery that will practically never require maintenance and that can last up to 30 years. This feature is particularly appreciated by our numerous German, Austrian and Swiss customers: the safety and reliability of our brand translate into a continuous production activity without surprises for the customer, who can only deal with quality and production management.

    The Tp Compact has been studied, designed and built with in mind all those small and medium-sized companies that have not dared, up to this moment, to engage directly in the tempering of the glass, precisely because of the considerable costs of adaptation and use of an oven. by tempering or because they felt that they did not have a production that would justify such an investment. A TP Compact is the purchase that every glass factory should make to grow sustainably, offering its customers superior quality products over which they have total control. For a glass factory, this is a choice of autonomy with respect to third-party companies to which small entrepreneurs must often entrust the tempering. Investing in a TP Compact means seeing your company in perspective, making plans for the next ten, twenty, thirty years, finally returning to being masters of your work, no longer depending on large glassworks for delivery times and price management. .

    For an entrepreneur, regaining possession of their time and complete control of work flows is a fundamental choice: it means deciding to conquer their market and expand their customers by working on the competitiveness of the offer. It means working for success. And that's what we want: the success of our customers.
