Specifications
-
Designs suitable for vertical, angled and horizontal installations
-
Three key designs in lengths and diameters to suit individual requirements
-
Support arrangements to suit individual installations
-
Energy savings of up to 17,000kWh per year per holder
-
Unique thermal insulation of the holder nose, Electroglass holders can extract less than half the amount of heat energy from the furnace than other water-cooled holders
-
High temperature thermal insulation between holder and refractory prevents steep temperature gradients, reducing the risk of refractory thermal shock and cracking
-
Quality and performance proven over many years in furnaces worldwide in a wide variety of glass compositions
-
Electrical isolation between holder and electrode prevents dissimilar metal contact, eliminating the risk of DC voltage related quality issues
-
Designed to operate the entire furnace campaign without need for routine replacement
-
Robust design allows for easy electrode advancing as necessary within a campaign
-
Construction techniques allow for independent movement of internal components during application and removal of cooling when differential contraction may occur
