Glass producers, wanting the benefits of the latest technology for their existing equipment, often upgrade and retrofit their systems. The modular construction of Glasstech systems readily facilitates these upgrades or retrofits. In most cases, Glasstech systems can be retrofitted with the new technology at a fraction of the cost of purchasing all-new equipment. This service also can lead to expansion of the capability, capacity, flexibility and productivity of existing systems. For example, the installation of a high-efficiency quench on a current architectural system can reduce quench-operating costs by 50 percent. Computer upgrades with modern diagnostics and interface capabilities can be installed. Furnace heaters can be extended on any Glasstech unit to increase productivity and output. Numerous other retrofitting opportunities to modernize existing machinery are available.
