Porcelain, glass, etc. manufacture
I encountered this word while translating a prospectus for the sale of a company. I have no idea what it means and have been unable to find anything useful on the internet or in any of the dictionaries I own.
Here is the sentence where it appears: "máquinas de tratamento e limpeza de moldes, máquinas de colha e canais automáticos no forno, cornuas, um forno de cristal e equipamento de lapidação automática."
The sections talks about investments in new equipment the company has recently made.
Any help appreciated.

glory hole
Glassblowing involves three furnaces. The first, which contains a crucible of molten glass, is simply referred to as the furnace. The second is called the **glory hole** and is used to reheat a piece in between steps of working with it. The final furnace is called the lehr or annealer, and is used to slowly cool the glass, over a period of a few hours to a few days, depending on the size of the pieces. This keeps the glass from cracking or shattering due to thermal stress. Historically, all three furnaces were contained in one structure, with a set of progressively cooler chambers for each of the three purposes.
