Lower drilling template consisting of shaped cordirite plates inserted between the rollers and resting on a plate that will be raised by means of a pneumatic piston having a maximum stroke of 500 mm

Upper template with wings that close in case of particularly closed curvature.

A lifter keeps 1 glasses lifted from the rollers curved in the annealing zone over time of curvature, after which the diaphragm is raised and while
the newly curved glasses come transferred in annealing, those from annealing are transferred 1n cooling.

The movement of the rollers is controlled by 2 gearmotors controlled by inverters.

The 1st pulls the first six modules and has 2 tow speeds:

1. the normal slow forward speed
2. transfer speed to the next section in fast 8 – 10 times higher than the 1st (2 meters of kiln feeding roller conveyor with operating drive motor reducer
   intermittent. 4 m of kiln unloading roller conveyor pulled by the 2nd kiln towing gearmotor)
