Safe handling thanks to material expertise

Leading solutions for an efficient glass industry

When hot glass is poured, guided and directed, it inevitably comes into contact with other materials. The nature of these materials determines whether scratches, marks, cracks or other residues occur, which in turn has an impact on the quality and service life of the glass products. In glass production, therefore, aids are required for the safe, efficient and trouble-free transportation of sensitive glass products throughout the entire manufacturing process. This is where Schunk's materials expertise comes into its own, enabling you to ensure the quality of your glass products without a trace.

The only thing our materials leave behind is satisfaction

Material expertise in glass production

We know our way around hot glass like no other. We know how important special applications and quick solutions are. As a full-range supplier, we can offer you a tailor-made material for every application and add a suitable finish. Benefit from our wide range of products with a comprehensive standard program as well as from our customer-specific adaptations. Thanks to our decades of experience, we can put ourselves in your shoes and tell you exactly which materials and components will make your production process safer, faster and more economical. Our unique expertise in carbon as a material and our comprehensive range of services prevent restrictions in production, faulty processes or even downtime.

Carbon offers you unbeatable advantages:

No stress cracks: Compared to metals, carbon has a significantly lower thermal conductivity and therefore eliminates sudden temperature imbalances in the glass.
No adhesion: Due to its excellent chemical resistance, carbon leaves no marks on glass products.
Long service life: Carbon is extremely resistant to high temperatures and oxidation - carbon components can therefore be used for longer.
CFC materials: We offer carbon fiber reinforced materials (CFC) for components that are subject to extreme mechanical stress.

Container glass

Whether bottles in various sizes or jars of any kind - our customized carbon components are specially designed to safely grip, guide, deposit and divert your hot container glass along the entire production line.

Tubular glass

Not all carbon is the same - it depends on the “recipe”, which can be individually adapted to the respective temperature range. That is why we manufacture our transport rollers, support blocks and transport pins for you individually from highly specialized materials.

pharmaceutical glass

Clean work is required in the production of pharmaceutical glass. This is the only way to guarantee the purity of the end product - an ideal area of application for our extremely abrasion-resistant materials.

Household glass

Graphite proves to be a superior material for the preforms into which the molten glass is blown or pressed. By storing the water in the porous graphite structure, the cooling process is accelerated by the formation of a water vapor film.

Far more than oxidation resistance, abrasion resistance and long service life

Top service - so that downtime doesn't catch you cold

Our rapid support with quotations within 24 hours and product delivery from 10 working days after your order ensures an undisturbed production process - we can even realize standby deliveries of series products within 48 hours. Our service package is rounded off by efficient process management: we organize the management of defined products for you in our consignment warehouses. This means that these products are permanently and quickly available for you.
