MACHINERY

Three Sets Of Twins

Double efficiency for glass tempering .
» THE POWERFUL NEW TWIN™ is a single machine with two opposing throats allowing simultaneous operation from both sides by separate operators , effectively doubling output of arrissed ( seamed ) glass for tempering .
Constructed along the same very heavy duty lines as it ’ s world renowned siblings UNIX- AIRFLOW™ and UNIX BoB™ ( Best of Both ), the TWINS are
built to deliver professional results nonstop , 24 / 7 round-the-clock reliability to keep those hungry furnaces busy .
They feature the latest atomiser spray nozzles mixing a minimal volume of water with compressed air which just keep the belts lubricated without flooding the glass or the tables or the operators . All the edge quality benefits of wet arrissing combined with the effortless handling benefits of air floatation .
One set of TWINS has shipped to Hartung Glass in the USA , and Barber Glass in Canada is next in line .
A further set has been installed in the UK , and we extend our grateful thanks to Managing Director
of Vetroseal Ltd , Mr Eric Falisi , for permission to feature a video clip of his newly installed Ashton Industrial UNIX TWIN ™ in full production , on our web site .
