Gravity slumping

Gravity slumping


The gravity slumping process in detail


When slumping by gravity, thin glass is heated and reshaped under its own weight. This process is particularly suitable for higher material thicknesses with low degrees of forming.

We develop individual solutions for your application in the field of process engineering. Our process knowledge along the entire manufacturing chain helps us to design the optimal process. Gravity slumping is part of our 4-in-1 plant technology.
