AVKOPACK 1201 PD
Kevlar rope for glass tempering furnaces

Excellent decision for glass industry

   Glass tempering is a glass processing procedure in which raw glass is first heated to around 650°C and then rapidly cooled back to room temperature. During the process a strong compression stress develops in the surface layer, which increases the strength of the glass and thereby its capacity to withstand impacts, bending and heat fluctuations many times better than ordinary glass. When the glass is going out of the furnace it is moved on roller transporter. Usually the rolls are made from steel, but it is too hard and easily can damage the glass, can cause to it unacceptable thermal sharks or colour points. To prevent that manufacturers of machines use buffer product – ropes, which are rounded around the steel roller and protect the glass and the transport rollers from the problems

  But the requirements to the used material are very high. It must hold on temperature fluctuations from cooled room temperature when there is no glass on it to the 650 C for the first rollers when the glass is still very hot. In the same time the material must be abrasive resistant, because the sharp edges of the glass can easily damage the rope.
    We offer to our clients high quality with competitive price of long year experienced manufacturer of compression packings, tapes, insulating materials, etc. We ensure long working life of the product, because we use only 100 % virgin material and no recycle yarns, uncomparable abrasive resistance, excellent temperature resistance, without colour points on heavy glasses for sauna and auto. AVKOPACK 1201 PD is resistant to temperature, do not burn and keep dimensions during the whole production life and that ensures equal and stable surface of the rolls and right direction of moving the glass. Advantage of diagonal braiding gave hard density and product with increased density.

  For some very extreme applications we can offer manufacturing of special ropes from stainless steel.


     AVKO JSC offers excellent solution to the upper problems with KEVLAR? rope. It can be done in dimensions desired from the clients 4x4, 5,5x5,5; 6x6; 9x9, rectangular, etc<
