Promac has reported ‘brisk business’ at this year’s Glasstec show in Düsseldorf, with ‘cutting-edge’ technologies from its glass processing supply partners on show, including Forel, which was celebrating its 40th anniversary, Goldglass, Macotec, Mappi and SoftSolution.
Products on display included Forel’s high-speed insulating glass production line. Capable of producing a residential IGU every 20 seconds, its features include coating removal (edge deletion), flexible spacer application, grid insertion/application, argon gas filling, and secondary hot-melt sealing.
Showcased for the first time at Glasstec, it also features a new gas filling analyser, which scans and assesses gas levels inside the IGU, ensuring their performance.
Forel also showcased its vertical laminated glass cutting line, which delivers a step change in factory layout design by processing cut to size laminate glass in the vertical axis, reducing footprint whilst increasing output, plus its new sorting system, which scans, collects, sorts and then racks cut glass, optimising production.
Mappi, another flat glass machinery manufacturer from the Promac ‘stable’ profiled its latest ATS EcoConvection Series glass tempering technology.
Float glass cutting line manufacturer Macotec, showcased its new Master Shape 3.7FR automatic glass cutting table, the Strato Active automatic laminated glass cutting table, plus its automatic cutting lines.
Glass spraying technology specialist Goldglass showcased its highly efficient and easy to use MRC 2350 CL, which uses automatic shape detection to deliver high quality paint finishes to glass. Suitable for use with organic and ceramic paints, it can also be used to paint composite doors.
