Vertical laminator

Walco VX2 is a vertical laminator designed specifically for the application of protective film on insulating glass units and flat glass. Fully automated, the VX2 uses technology that allows the application of protective film on both sides of the glass in a single pass, thanks to its automated adjustment system. Equipped with intelligent technology, it is automatically adjusted to the length and height of glass up to 3,000 millimeters. 
 

Tempering furnace

Xinglass developed a new generation of flat and bent glass tempering furnaces, the QX-GTFB3.0. It is the third generation of flat and bent glass tempering furnaces. The machine’s arc-changing mechanism uses a precise hydraulic and servo system, and high-quality profiles ensure accurate glass shapes and high arc forming accuracy. The arc-changing system ensures product arc/radius repeatability and high consistency. The new technology of glass positioning and correction has improved the forming accuracy.

Inline film applicator

PDS ProFilm System allows fabricators to protect their glass immediately through a high-speed inline applicator that can maintain insulating glass line speeds. Protective films ensure product cleanliness from factory to finish, reducing potential for damage during manufacturing, and end-of-job cleaning time and costs. The PDS ProFilm System features auto measuring technology and can film more than 1,500 operating-size units per shift. No film trimming is required. A variety of module sizes and film widths are available.

Coolant cleaning system

Jordon Glass will introduce the Eco³Box coolant cleaning system by Filtraglass. The Eco³Box system is a water filtration system that separates and discards floating glass particles found in coolant grind-water and discards them as dried solids in a simple and environmentally friendly way. Eliminating floating glass particles from your coolant water prolongs the life of a machine and ensures that the machine has a constant flow of clean water delivered to the grinding, polishing or milling spindles.
