Handle with AIR! Increased proďŹ tability with the air-cushion tempering technology by the inventor.
best in glass processing
As the specialists in the field of the processing and refining of flat glass, we set the objective to always go one step further. 20 years ago we revolutionized the tempering of flat glass and since then, we have continuously developed this technology. World-wide, there are already numerous furnaces by means of which flat glass is tempered in an industrial production environment with LiSEC technology. Rely on the inventor.
Handle with AIR! High-quality products deserve the best treatment. This is why we only allow trustful heads – and air – to get in touch with glass. With the patented AEROFLAT air-cushion system, the surfaces of the glass sheets are not touched during the tempering process. The result of the innovative technology: top quality flat glass – economic and future-proof.

A high competitiveness is the result of the interaction between quality and proďŹ tability. COST EFFECTIVENESS by LiSEC No waiting time when the types of glass are changed Wear-free ceramic components Significantly shorter heating time No cooling of the heating zone required in case of glass breakage Identical cycle time for coated and uncoated glasses Operators trained in only four days 50% less staff required compared to conventional plants
One technology, four advantages!
Visions need courage. You need people who push limits and dare to try new things. In 1996, we set new standards in terms of the tempering of at glass with the revolutionary AEROFLAT air-cushion system. Now we are continuing the story.

A high competitiveness is the result of the interaction between quality and proďŹ tability. Faster, simpler, of higher quality: what sounds like technological wishful thinking becomes real due to the patented LiSEC AEROFLAT air-cushion system. Experience tempering in unprecedented quality while at the same time minimizing complexity and saving time.
No waiting time when the types of glass are changed The required energy is controlled by the amount of air and can be perfectly adjusted to the different glass properties.
Wear-free ceramic components We are focusing on top quality also with regard to machine components: ceramic is a highly wear-proof material and therefore has a long service life. SigniďŹ cantly shorter heating time With the AEROFLAT technology, the heating time amounts to 25-30 seconds per millimeter glass thickness.
No cooling of the heating zone required in case of glass breakage Unlike conventional plants, which may often not be used for up to two day, the air-cushion tempering plant is ready for operation already after 15 minutes.

Identical cycle time for coated and uncoated glasses High-performance coated functional glasses are playing an increasingly important role in the industry and architecture. Only with the LiSEC technology, it is possible to temper those glasses in the same cycle time as uncoated glasses.
Operators trained in only four days The intelligent operating solution ensures that plant operators may be trained in every detail within a period of four days.
50% less sta required compared to conventional plants With AEROFLAT, it is possible to deploy staff where it is really needed.
Trend-setting technology is the result of forward-looking thinking. In 1996, we started with the development of AEROFLAT and have thus changed the glass industry. As the inventor of the patented air-cushion technology, we possess many years of experience and we know what our customers expect. In the Glass Forum, we are processing flat glass ourselves in an economic way and we are therefore aware of the challenges and trends. We are setting new standards with the innovative tempering system. Whoever trusts in LiSEC will profit from our years of operational know-how, also in the future.

Air cushion tempering technology by the inventor.
LiSEC is the inventor of the patented air cushion technology In 1996, the tempering process with air cushions was designed in Austria and has been continuously developed further since then. AEROFLAT has received several awards.
Tempering of structural glass is possible
No touching of the glass surface throughout the entire process In the heating and quenching zone, the surfaces of the glass sheets only come into contact with air – this ensures a so far undreamt-of quality.
Thermal tempering of glass is possible from 1,6 to 10 millimeters Uniquely wide range of applications.
Tempering of double-sided coated and printed glass sheets is possible The air-cushion system prevents a touching on both sides of the glass surface; this is why also double-sided coated glasses may be tempered.
Maximum convection in the circulatory system The air-cushion system reaches a convection percentage of up to 90 %.
Patented cooling air routing: Reduction of the differences in tension in the glass Higher cooling capacity No SO2 gas required – environmentally friendly & sustainable
Perfect products are the result of unquestionable quality Rely on the inventor: through years of research and development, we tested, modified and precisely adjusted the LiSEC AEROFLAT air-cushion system to the requirements of our customers. Now you are not only saving time and costs but you will also reduce losses of quality on the glass – as they arise by the use of conventional ceramic rollers – to zero.

Future-Proofness Air cushion tempering technology by the inventor
Perspective with potential. Flexible, light-weight and robust – thin glass opens up so far unimaginable possibilities in particular in the field of solar applications, in the production of insulating glass or in the interior architecture.
Multiple insulating glass The use of tempered thin glass enables significantly lighter modules with significantly better thermal insulation values. This leads to advantages in production but also in the assembly. Thanks to the non-contact transport, LiSEC AEROFLAT is ideally suited for coated glass sheets. Architecture Light, flexible and robust glasses without optical distortions are excellently suited for the use in modern architecture. Tempered thin glass convinces due to its visual attractiveness while the low weight reduces the requirements on the profiles and fittings.
MEM4Win
Flat glass for the automotive industry Tempering compliant with the prevailing standards of the automotive industry. Functional glasses One glass, many possible applications. In the industry and architecture, special functional glasses are in demand as never before. Regardless whether with a high thermal insulation and sound insulation, self-cleaning or as a highly esthetic glazing - tempered flat glass provides numerous variants of application. Photovoltaics New generation frameless photovoltaics modules. The LiSEC casing technology with glass-glass-modules is independent from the used solar cells. Thanks to tempered thin glass and the hermetic sealing, the modules convince with an increased performance and a longer service life. They are diff usion-resistant, more stable and more flexible and can produce faster. Solarthermics Cold bent thin glass for the use in parabolic mirrors: the tempered thin glass may be bent on site and placed into the construction. The unique technology provides for advantages in terms of transport (due to a low weight and the reduction of the transport volume) and therefore a massive saving of costs.
Buildings are responsible for approx. 40 % of the energy consumption in Europe. A decisive role in the improvement of the energy efficiency play facades and windows. In the future, windows will even produce energy and will, in a smart way, take over other functions, which are decisive for the well-being of the building users – for example shadowing, directing of light, illumination or sound reduction. In the project „MEM4WIN“, sponsored by the EU, the „Window of the future“is developed in which all functions are integrated. We coordinate this international research project. Objectives By means of innovative quadruple insulating glass units, the heat transition shall be reduced by half (to 0.3 W/m2K) compared to the so far reached U-values. The weight of the windows shall be reduced by 50 % by means of the use of tempered thin glass and the windows shall produce energy. The sound insulation shall be increased by approx. 20 % by means of the 4-pane window construction. Profitability The manufacturing costs shall be reduced by 20 % compared with windows with similar functions. Research tasks Tempered ultra-thin glass membranes Anti-reflective coating Innovative edge compound for a 4-pane (window) construction, which also allows a frameless openable casement in all-glass facades. Sealing for the integration of PV and OLED, which provides for a long-term diff usion-tightness.
