FocusOn: Deltech Glass Melt Furnace Automation

Corrosion-resistant ceramic linings, smooth and nearly instant door operation to facilitate molten glass pours, roof split plugs to permit glass fining, and 24/7 continuous operation reliability are the well-known features of  every Deltech "RS" glass melt furnace. Now Deltech is pleased to introduce our newest feature: automation. The custom-designed 1700°C melter shown here is a controlled atmosphere furnace that uses robotics to lift and move the crucible to a separate chamber while maintaining the inert atmosphere environment, pour the glass into a heated mould, close the mould door, move the mould into the air for cooling, and then return to its original position. For more information, visit www.deltechfurnaces.com.

Survey Says!
In last week's CyberPoll, we asked if readers thought that Lowes' better-than-expected fourth quarter profits indicated that the worst has passed for the housing market. Most of the respondents (43.8%) do think the worst has passed, while 37.5% answered "no" and 18.7% of respondents are unsure. On the other hand, the majority of readers (81.3%) agree that this does not mean that a robust housing recovery is on its way. One reader commented: "A weak recovery in housing is likely this year and beyond. Returning to pre-recession levels of housing activity will take 4-5 years."
