#AskGlaston Lamination Series #2:<br />
Production made simple<br />
Glass Lamination Is Considered A Complex Process, But What If All That Is A<br />
Thing Of The Past?<br />
Every glass processor’s target is to simplify production while ensuring extremely stable<br />
yield and high end product quality.<br />
In this episode of the #AskGlaston<br />
Lamination Series, we wanted<br />
to demonstrate the capability of<br />
a modern glass lamination furnace<br />
featuring advanced convection<br />
technology designed to deliver just<br />
that.<br />
Glass lamination is often considered<br />
a rather complex process. There<br />
are a huge amount of variables that<br />
you need to consider, starting from<br />
sandwich composition, glass coating,<br />
tempering quality, type of interlayer<br />
and more.<br />
But what if we say that all the<br />
complexity of glass lamination is a<br />
thing of the past? A couple of quick<br />
test runs demonstrated in this video<br />
prove it well.<br />
For a demo, the production scenario<br />
included running mixed production,<br />
switching from product to product.<br />
In the first batch, 6+6 mm<br />
mixed production with clear and<br />
Low-E glass sandwiches is launched<br />
simultaneously. All are run with the<br />
same settings, which wouldn’t be<br />
possible with any other technology.<br />
Next, without any changeover<br />
time, there is a switch to 5+5 mm<br />
triangle glass production. Again, no<br />
monotonous setting readjustment is<br />
done.<br />
As to the quality for both batches,<br />
the appearance of the end products<br />
is flawless – and this with minimum<br />
operator input.<br />
So how is all this actually<br />
possible?<br />
The greatest thing about convection<br />
technology is that it doesn’t care about<br />
the glass coatings. It means the same<br />
heating efficiency for all glass types.<br />
Meanwhile, due to a state-of-theart<br />
and self-adjusting pressing system,<br />
the pressing force is also the same –<br />
regardless of the glass shape or size.<br />
And there is no need to adjust the<br />
settings of the pressing rolls.<br />
Basically, all this allows mixing<br />
very complex batches in one loading.<br />
For the operators, it simplifies glass<br />
lamination extremely. The considerable<br />
part of the operator’s input that<br />
would normally be required is made<br />
unnecessary.<br />
In the next episode, we will look<br />
into what is actually possible to achieve<br />
in glass lamination and see how far<br />
the limits can be pushed. We will also<br />
cover some new product releases. So,<br />
see you then.<br />
