Setting a new standard
Monitoring glass flow with the VFM system significantly improves the way you control and overview your manufacturing process.
With a properly configured bushing controller, you will be able to control the glass flow with an accuracy better than +/– 0.4% by weight.
As a result, product density will be more consistent, generally lowering the weight of the finished product by 3–5%.
Features at a glance
