Dating back to its creation in 1953, QVF glass has manufactured comprehensive component systems made of Borosilicate glass 3.3 for industrial, pilot plant, and lab use. This type of equipment is commonly used in reaction, distillation, extraction, evaporation, cryogenic and absorption processes for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as many related areas such as food and drink production, dye works and the electroplating industry. While the properties and utilization of borosilicate glass have remained constant through the years, the design and engineering of the equipment have evolved and changed over time with the establishment of new and improved component systems. Here’s a rundown of the three most recent QVF component systems and the highlights of their designs, most notably the progression of the glass ends.
