SKETCH SERIES

The machine supports rectangular glass sizes from 600x500mm to 2700x1600mm, with an adjustable frame referenced on the left front side. A movable screen enables customised printing on various glass areas. Fully standalone, it is also ready for seamless inline integration.

HARPS SYSTEM

The Automated Harps Rack System is an efficient glass handling solution designed for small to medium glassworks, facilitating loading and unloading of glass sheets on vertical production lines for dimensions up to 3000 x 1500mm. After cutting, operators place glass sheets onto harps in production order, each holding up to 40 sheets. The harp is then loaded onto a modular ground structure that raises and moved it forward, automatically unloading sheets one by one. Once empty, the harp is returned for reloading while other harps continue the process. This system can also operate in reverse for unloading.

J SERIES

The Series J automatic silk Screen Printing Machine consists of an entry/pre-alignment conveyor, the main printing unit and a synchronized exit conveyor. Its robust construction features a specially treated aluminium printing table and an integrated belt transport system with auto- centring capability. Built using high quality, high-efficiency components, the Series J requires minimal land simplified maintenance.

LOGO PRINT STATION

The Logo Print Station is a specialised system comprising a booking conveyor and a logo printing unit that work together to accurately centre and print logos on the underside of the glass. Movement is driven by a pneumatic linear guide. The squeegee and flood bar speeds can be adjusted independently, while their vertical motion is controlled by dedicated cylinders. The station operated with its own integrated PLC for precise and reliable performance.

BELT CONVEYOR

Belt conveyors are composed of belts driven by pulleys connected to a shaft, ensuring movement aligned with the direction of glass flow. The structure is constructed from steel profiles and finished with a powder coating to prevent oxidation of the metal components.

ROLLER CONVEYOR

Special conveyors equipped with ground rollers are driven by an alternating current motor. The weld free design ensures exceptional structural stability and facilitates easy maintenance.

TILTING BRIDGE

Upon request, the conveyor can be equipped with a tilting screen, enabling the controlled passage of personnel and/or materials through the glass handling line.

LOADING/UNLOADING CONVEYOR

The loading and unloading of the glass take place thanks to a conveyor equipped with forks which, starting from a vertical position are lowered until the glass is deposited on the transport rollers.

CORNER CONVEYOR

A combination of roller and belts, with the belts aligned to the direction of glass flow and the rollers providing optimal support for the perpendicular transfer of glass.

STACKER

The stacker is designed to stack glasses, equipped with motors that activate the roller conveyor and with a chain for lifting the glass. When used as a conveyor, it is able to work following the speed of the line.

VERTICAL INSPECTION STATION

The automatic glass sandblasting series the ZEPHIR represents an excellent compromise between quality and price. It’s a solid and compact equipment very easily usable by every operator, which provides high productivity despite the very low electrical and compressed-air consumption. The Zephir offers several working options, it’s possible to operate in automatic or manual mode and the maximum working height can be doubled being the cabin open topped.

FLAT INSPECTION STATION

The inspection conveyor features a specialised enclosure located beneath the belts for print quality verification. It can also be equipped with a handling system that allows it to be positioned vertically for enhanced inspection capabilities.

ROTATING TABLE

The belt conveyor enables glass rotation via integrated vacuum cup system. The operator can select and confirm a +90 or -90º rotation through the control panel interface.

LIFT CONVEYOR

Belt conveyor that has the capability to lift the glass from a lower height to a higher one.

FLIPPING OVER

Double belt conveyor that rotates to flip over the glasses

PAIRING STATION WITH ROTATION

Centring table with glass lifting system to pair the glasses. It allows to overturn the glass too.

WASHER BUFFER

Maximum five positions stacker to empty the washer.
