Hot GlassBlowing Studio Equipment For Sale

Equipment Prices. Well, that's a difficult one

We custom build what you NEED not necessarily what you THINK you want so costs can vary.  

You can get an idea of the cost of standard equipment as you view this site because most units are priced.

Affordable running costs are the most important aspects of any business as it can make or break the business. Our glass making, re-heating and annealing equipment will pay for itself in about 18 months, giving you continuous fuel efficient savings. From then on this energy efficient, economical equipment will keep your money in your bank.

Other providers may offer cheaper options which might appear to be better initially, but over time these offers turn out to be vastly more expensive in terms of cost, time and convenience. Why waste your hard earned money on a gas guzzler when you can have the best.

This unit consists of a gloryhole with a trough pot inside for melting the glass. The quality of the glass is fair, but I have an idea how to improve it too good if not great, Need to produce some new moulds.

 

Energy-Efficient-Combo

The lehr or Annealing Oven is 16"x19"x21" internal with a manual door

Dependent in the size you require prices range from £8,000 to £12,000 but the important thing about the Combo is the fuel efficiency

Because our gloryholes are so energy efficient, there is little or no benefit in incorporating a recuperation unit. However, by implementing cunning design we have been able to use the waste heat from the gloryhole to power the lehr all day and then use an electric element to anneal overnight.

Electrical energy is costly. When we use electrical energy in a furnace it costs more BUT you use less because there are NO waste gases and it’s easier, cleaner and more controllable.  Using our super insulating “Castable” in the furnace, together with modern high temperature fibre blanket, it becomes cost effective and the furnace costs less to make and maintain.
