Genius LM-A is the range for laminated glass cutting that, due
to the innovation of the solutions used and patented by Intermac,
guarantees maximum integration between operator, machine and work
environment, allowing an extreme optimization of space (-20 % of
space compared to other solutions on the market).
Moreover, thanks to the automation of the entire cutting process,
Genius LM-A is able to produce a finite volume in only 60 ,
time threshold that INTERMAC is already in the process of
overcoming by pointing to the new target of 40.

FENZI
inauguration of sales hub
in South Korea
Fenzi Korea, headquartered in Seoul, has started marketing the products distributed by the
Fenzi Group and the Glass Alliance network, such as
glass and mirror paints, I.G. sealants, spacers (in stainless steel, aluminium and special plastics) and providing
ongoing customer service for all product lines.
After 30 years of operation on the Asian and Korean
marketplace, Fenzi started penetrating this area with
Duralux mirror paints, namely the Groups longest
established product line, and later with its complete
product portfolio. On the heels of its growing success
and expanding sales network, the Group decided to set
up a local sales subsidiary.
Highly positive sales results have been achieved
with all product lines, most notably I.G. sealants, such
as Thiover the polysulphide, two-component sealant
that meets the strictest eco-compatibility standards and
Butylver, the poly-isobutylene sealant for insulating
glass primary seal.
South Korea is focusing increasing attention on
product technical performance, also with a view to
complying with the strict standards prescribed by
energy efficiency directives enforced in 2011.
Therefore, the new criteria for thermal transmittance control of IG units will inevitably lead to the use
of high-quality materials and warm edge technologies
that can guarantee enhanced thermal insulation of
buildings.
In the next few years, the increasing focus on energy saving will translate into stronger demand for products such as Chromatech Ultra the next generation
spacer in stainless steel and special plastics delivering
extraordinarily low thermal transmittance values
Chromatech Plus the stainless steel spacer with a
unique and patented design that guarantees improved
stability, or Butylver TPS the new premium quality
thermoplastic spacer developed by Fenzi labs for
Bystronic applicators.
The future for South Korea therefore looks very
bright especially considering the latest developments
in the building industry. Despite the general recessionary climate in this sector worldwide, the numerous
public works promoted by the Korean government will
revitalize the local public construction industry. Last
but not least, South Korea is one of the largest flat
glass consumers, with a consumption rate twice as
high that of Japan and similar to European countries.

SERVICES
three photovoltaic plants in
France
Siemens Financial Services (SFS) announces
that it has signed the financing agreements for
three photovoltaic plants in Corsica, France, for a total
amount of EUR 31.1 million.
The three photovoltaic plants, Calenzana, Coti and Mria,

renewable energy. This transaction is SFSs Project &
Structured Finance Energy (PSF-E) business units first
European project as sole lender and arranger. The
Projects investment cost will be financed through a combination of equity and debt, with PSF-E providing the
total debt amount. At present, all three plants are fully
constructed and have received necessary technical certificates for grid connection.
The three plants have been developed by Eco Delta
(ED), an independent company that operates in the wind
and solar sectors in France, and an important Siemens
customer. Siemens Energy has been awarded the construction and operation contracts of the Coti and Mria
plants, to which the financing offer provided by SFS was

cal services with comprehensive financial solutions provide significant added-value to our customers.
The Corsica solar project is the second deal in which
Siemens Energy, SFS PSF-E, and Eco Delta (ED) have
partnered together. In 2011, Siemens put the Les Mes
solar farm at Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in the south of
France on line which can generate a combined peak output of 31 megawatts, supplying approximately 12,000
French households with electricity. SFS PSF-E also participated in the financing of the Les Mes transaction, providing EUR 25 million of the total debt amount raised.
Astris Finance acted as financial advisor to Eco Delta,
whereas Clifford Chance was legal advisor to the lender.
The Siemens Financial Services (SFS) is an international provider of business-to-business financial solutions.

48 GLASSLAM
Edgetech suit dismissed
According to an order signed by US district

judge Kenneth A. Marra, the suit filed by
Glasslam USA against Edgetech IG in March 2011
has been dismissed with prejudice and each party will
bear its own attorneys fees and costs.
Glasslam (also known as Nebula Glass
International Inc.) had alleged that Edgetech had
engaged in defamation, deceptive and unfair trade
practices, and breach of contract, among other allegations. Many of the allegations related to Glasslams
entry into the warm-edge foam spacer market in 2007
with its EPD Air-Tight spacer, and Edgetechs own
warm-edge foam Super Spacer product.
The order does not specify the reason for the dismissal, but the parties had filed a joint motion just 12
days before the dismissal for extension of time to file
a status report, saying that they believed the matter
would be resolved by a settlement.

Sasu Koivumki M.Sc. (Econ.) has been

appointed as Glaston Corporations new
chief financial officer, as of 1 October 2012, taking over
from Tapio Engstrm. Koivumki is currently in charge
of Glastons operations in North America. Before moving to the US, he worked as Glastons Group Treasurer
20062009 and as managing director of a Finnish subsidiary of Glaston 20042006. Koivumki has become
a Member of Glastons Executive Management Group
and reports to President & CEO Arto Metsnen.
Scott Steffy promoted to VP

Scott Steffy, regional service and sales manager, North
America, at Glaston America Inc., has been promoted to
vice president, sales and service, North America. He took
on his new role 1 October 2012, reporting to Arto
Metsnen, Glaston president and CEO.
As we all know, the market in North America has
been very challenging during the past years, Metsnen
said, in a release. However, some signs of market
recovery have been perceptible during this year, and we
hope that this trend will continue. Scott has a strong
market knowledge, and I wish him all the best in this
new position.
GUARDIAN INDUSTRIES
minority stake agreement
Guardian Industries has reached an agreement in principle for KGIC LLC, a subsidiary
of Koch Industries, to purchase a minority stake in
Guardian, according to a letter from the Guardian board
of directors to employees.
This announcement to employees came after a comprehensive and deliberate process by the companys
Board of Directors to create a long-term ownership
strategy that aligns the needs of all our stakeholders,
according to a statement from Guardian officials.
The Guardian board has been seeking strategic partners
for the company that would be a cultural fit with
Guardian and respect the Guardian Way, operate large
industrial businesses, and would be willing to hold a
minority stake with influence rather than outright control, according to the letter to employees. Koch
matches this profile extremely well.
Guardian officials expect the transaction to be completed by the end of the year, pending satisfaction of various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals
in a number of countries, according to the letter.

RAS AL KHAIMAN
gearing for major growth
The glass industry in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) is
set to expand in 2013 with another overseas company setting up production facilities in the emirate.
Indeed, RAKs central location and low costs have become desirable for numerous companies looking to set up in
the region. The industrial sector is one of the pillars of the
emirates economy, contributing around 30% of GDP in
2011, well up on the 23% at the end of last decade.
France-based Saverglass, the latest entry into the
emirates industrial sector, announced it would be investing 93 million USD to build a new production facility
in RAK.
The plant, which will cover 100,000 square metres
and have a staff of 180, will be located in one of the
industrial zones managed by the RAK Investment
Authority (RAKIA). Saverglass expects its new facility to be operational by the beginning of 2013. When at
full capacity, the plant will have a production output
of some 150 million bottles annually. Saverglass,

which specializes in designing, producing and decorating
luxury bottles and glassware, intends to use its new
Middle East base to better access markets in the region,
as well as in Asia and Africa. The company primarily
produces coloured bottles for commercial use, in particular for wine, perfume and food products. Saverglass stated that easy access to raw materials and energy, as well
as low labour and construction costs, were key to the
decision to set up shop in RAK.
A number of glass producers have set up shop in the
emirate in recent years. RAKs emergence as an
important glass hub in the MENA region is a key indicator of the growing importance of the Emirate, says
Derek Burston, Exhibition Director of Gulf Glass 2013.
It is with this in mind, and the fact that Dubai offers
such an attractive global meeting place for the glass
industry, that next years Gulf Glass exhibition has
already attracted record levels of enquiry for space bookings, and we still have a year until the show he adds.
Gulf Glass 2013 takes place from 3 to 5 2013, at the
Dubai World Trade Centre.

54 Warm edge
spacer tube tops

BFRC chart
The BFRCs (the UK national system for rating Energy Efficient

Windows) recently revised chart of
approved spacer bar conductivity
values has awarded Thermobar
Warm Edge Spacer Tube with an
even lower value of 0.16W/mK with
or without its gas barrier tape. This
makes it the highest performing
warm edge spacer tube recognized
by the BFRC.
This update is following further
testing
at
IFT-Rosenheim.
Thermoseal Group, manufacturer
of Thermobar, has submitted additional samples of different cavity
sizes of Thermobar to an independent test house. These tests have

proven that Thermobar (with gas barrier tape) and Thermobar LITE
(without gas barrier tape) have the
same test results. Therefore, BFRC
calculations have been altered to
reflect this so that Thermobar no
longer has a different value for its
tape/backed plastic material. Thus,
Thermobar has a universal value of
0.16W/mK for both plastic side and
taped side.
Mark Hickox, sales director at
Thermoseal Group comments: We
are proud to have manufactured our
own British-made product which
tops the charts against other warm
edge spacer tubes imported into the
UK market.
If you compare the taped bar
value with the value of our nearest
rival supplying a comparative structurally reinforced spacer tube, they are

required to use a value of 0.29W/mK
compared with our value of
0.16W/mK. This makes Thermobar
the highest performance warm edge
spacer tube, Hickox added.

56 Furnaces for
variable curvature
tempered glass
Variable curvature tempered glass

is widely used in display cabinets for
refrigerated food, side windows of
buses and furniture. However, due to
the fact that the curvature of this
shape of glass changes along its arc,
it is extremely difficult to bend and
temper. Existing tempering furnace
cannot really produce curved glass
with changing curvature gradients
uniformly and smoothly, and it is
even harder to process variable curvature tempered glass of various
shapes with one tempering furnace.
Therefore, enterprises of the industry
can only produce glass of this shape
by adopting thermal bending technology and using moulds. The wideranging emergence of such a large
number of hot-bending glasses in
food sales areas in supermarkets and
the wide use of such glass in furniture cause potential risks in our life.
LandGlass history of research in
tempering furnaces for variable curvature tempered glass dates back to
2003 when the straightness of glass
products straight edge was still not
satisfactory because of process
limitations. Meanwhile,
the accuracy of the curvature arc

edge and the uniformity of various
glass curvatures could not be completely consistent with the designed
curve, so LandGlasss first-generation equipment for this shape were
used by only a few manufacturers.
Since 2011, LandGlass has made
great achievements and breakthroughs in the research on tempering furnaces for variable curvature
tempered glass. Firstly, LandGlass
adopted new shaping methods and
completely removed the flaw of firstgeneration equipment, which produced low accuracy of straightness.
In the meantime, LandGlass used
new bending technologies and has
successfully produced tempered
glass with curves that are highly consistent with the designed curve.
Moreover, arc consistency of tempered glass products from different
batches has reached a high level.
Judging from the operations of the
prototype machine, new shaping
methods and technologies have also
extended equipment maintenance
periods and improved the reliability
of the equipment.
With regards to the tempering
demand for different curvatures,
5/2012
technicians of LandGlass have

arranged combinations of shape
modules and provided various operation options to enable the multipurpose operations of one machine that
is capable of producing variable curvature tempered glass of various
shapes. At present, the new tempering furnace of LandGlass is capable
of bending and tempering variable
curvature tempered glass of J-shape,
S-shape and U-shape, and processing
tempered glass with maximum size
of 3000ARC2000, minimum size of
300ARC400 and minimum radius
of 300mm.
The J-shape variable curvature
tempered glass products were displayed at China Glass in April 2012,
attracting considerable interest. With
the promotion of LandGlass variable
curvature glass tempering furnace, the
company believes that, in the near
future, variable curvature glass with
high safety and excellent quality will
replace hot-bending glass in more
fields, providing customers with more
security, making life safer and better.

58 Advanced
purification
systems
T.C. Turrini Claudio s.r.l. is

specialized in the manufacturing of
decanting plants for wastewater
recycling stemming from glass processing.
The systems, says the Italian
company, are able to meet the
requirement of small, medium and
large companies, thanks to a wide
range of products, starting from
cylindrical or square water treatment plants with a bell or lamellar
system, entirely built in AISI stainless steel material or zinc-plated,
varnished or hot zinc-coated steel,
upon request.
The water and mud arising from
working processes are collected in a
ground pit and, subsequently, thanks
to submerged pumps suitable for the
purpose, positioned inside the water
treatment plant.
The separation of solid material
takes place within the silo by means
of specific flocculating agents or
coagulants, specifically tested and
selected to ensure the maximum
efficiency and functionality.
The mud in the tapered part of the
plant is extracted by means of pneumatic valves and/or worm pumps
and sent to suitable filtering bags
and/or filter-press systems, for the
final dehydration process. The pH
values of the process water can also
be seen and corrected automatically.
As a result of experience acquired
over the last years, Turrini Claudio
offers different management systems and plant automation, combined with supervision interfaces
and remote controller PLC with
report and design, appropriate to
customers needs.

OMPLETE INSULATING
GLASS PRODUCTION
At glasstec, LiSEC will exhibit highend insulating glass machines and solutions,
which are easy to operate and offer the highest
manufacturing quality. Capabilities to fulfil all the
requirements of a wide range of pro-ducts such
as optimized cycle times and ability to manufacture double, triple, or quadruple glazed units and
stepped glass units are a matter of course.
Additionally, LiSEC will introduce an
improved system at glasstec that significantly
enhances the sealing process, particularly at the
corners of insulating glass units. LiSEC will also
show the proven frame bending system BSV45ANK, which is suitable for all common types
of spacer frames.
SORTING SYSTEMS: FULLY

AUTOMATIC, RELIABLE AND FLEXIBLE
LiSEC sorting systems ensure that manufacturing lines are fed with the appropriate
glass sheets in a fast and reliable manner and in
optimum time. At glasstec, the Austrian
machinery manufacturer will present completely automatic sorting plants, as well as a
dynamic sorting system. The latter combines
the advantages of automatic and manual
machines and offers maximum flexibility in
changing manufacturing conditions or when
expanding production facilities.
The shortest path to the next glass sheet:

LiSEC FlyOver follows the shortest path and
moves diagonally above the glass storage
area when no glass is being transported
A REVOLUTION IN REMNANT
PLATE HANDLING AND EFFICIENT
GLASS CUTTING
The LiSEC FlyOver is a revolution in remnant
plate handling and efficient glass cutting. The
intelligent one-row design of the suction bridge
allows it to move diagonally above the entire
glass storage area when no glass is being transported. In this way, the bridge will automatically
follow the shortest path to the next storage rack,
which minimizes cycle times and keeps cutting
machines working at full capacity. This LiSEC
innovation offers another revolutionary advantage, besides the significant time savings
achieved: The Fly-Over renders costly remnant
plate storage systems obsolete by transporting
remnants back to the glass storage area and by
using the storage racks as remnant plate racks.
With the improved ESL/RS cutting table,
LiSEC offers a machine that can cut and grind
glass sheets in one cycle, enabling the maximum overall process speed. This next-generation cutting table has a new look and brings con-

duction even for shapes or special foil types

is now simple and smooth, and the quality of the
end product is enhanced.
FASTER EDGE PROCESSING
OUTSTANDING TEMPERING
TECHNOLOGY
The KBU, LiSECs fully automatic glass

edge processing centre, offers significant time
savings because it permits a continuous CNC
work process. The vertical design and integrated automatic tool changer render tool set-up and
positioning times totally irrelevant and inconsequential. Visitors to the LiSEC booth will have
the chance to find out more about all of the additional benefits of the new processing centre. The
KBU can grind and polish almost any glass type
or shape with a thickness between 2 and 19 millimetres. The system delivers high-quality
edges, is capable of flat edge (FA) grinding and
C grinding, and is able to seam shaped and rectangular glass sheets, making it the perfect
choice for structural glass, interior glazing, and
functional and solar glass.
LAMINATED GLASS PRODUCTION

AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
LiSEC offers innovative machines and customized line configurations for professional
laminated glass production. With some recent
innovations in this field, LiSEC will be able to
address the needs of many customers at
glasstec. A pre-lamination line with a new horizontal washing machine, an improved foil application system, and a press system, which all
ensure maximum precision and flexibility, will
be on display at glasstec. Laminated glass pro-
LiSEC flatbed tempering systems deliver a

uniform structure of unrivalled density and surface tension for glass sheets thinner than two
millimetres. This thin type of safety glass bends
without breaking under high pressure or on
impact. Optical distortions (roller waves),
which are quite common in conventional horizontal tempering furnaces with transport rollers,
are now a thing of the past. At glasstec visitors
will have the possibility of seeing the striking
properties of this highly resistant and flexible
thin glass.

ounded in 1972, Pomdi Herramientas

de Diamante, S.A. is, today, one of the
leading industrial diamond tool manufacturers. Company aim is, and always has
been, innovation and, to achieve this goal,
Pomdi has its own department specializing in
developing new bonding agents and applying
them to latest-generation materials.
Right from the start, Pomdis has always
worked to offer clients of a wide variety of
industrial sectors superabrasive industrial diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) machining solutions. Superabrasives are being
increasingly applied in an ever-widening range
of sectors and processes. This means that a
growing number of companies, and procedures
within them, are becoming potential
superabrasive (diamond or CBN) users.
Pomdi now supplies its products to clients working in a large number of industrial markets, in particular the glass, optics, stone, metallurgy, synthetic materials and technical ceramics sectors.
To face the new challenge of increasingly stringent production and quality demands, Pomdi
developed a revolutionary new technology that
will change the way companies use and buy glassworking diamond grinding wheels and tools.
3NEO
The idea behind 3NEO is simple: if the shank
attached to the diamond surface does not wear
why change it? Why not replace just the worn
part, and so reduce both cost and waste? This is
the idea invented, developed and launched by
Pomdi in 2011 as part of the Q-LEAN project to
eliminate waste and lower costs.
Pomdis 3NEO technology means it is only
necessary to replace the worn diamond surface,
helping minimize operating costs.
With 3NEO, glassmakers can lower overheads
while increasing productivity, as it changeover
is 15 times faster than with conventional tools.
Pomdis 3NEO technology also means only
one fiftieth of the stock needs to be kept at the
company. Moreover, thanks to sophisticated
patented locking system, the shank and diamond ring are held securely in place whilst in
use, but can be detached with a simple click
when the worn ring needs replacing.
Pomdis 3NEO diamond rings are universal
and fit any machine, enabling glassmakers to
stock only those in their usual range of grain
Pomdi: one-year of experience and results

of the innovative 3NEO System
68
sizes and types and not a selection of complete

tools. With Pomdis new 3NEO technology,
any grinding ring can be attached to any shank.
Pomdis new and revolutionary 3NEO technology can help:
reduce stocks, as the manufacturer or distributor can supply replacements within 24 hours;
reduce costs by only replacing the worn diamond ring, not the whole tool;
reduce costs by cutting changeover times when
the diamond ring needs replacing.
A COMPLETE YEAR OF EXPERIENCE

AND RESULTS
The 3NEO System is replacing old school diamond grinding wheels for the
glass market everywhere it has been introduced and used. After launching this
revolutionary concept at last years main glass trade fair, apart from the
expected benefits of the new concept, and after some minor modifications made
in the first months, the Systems long run performance has also matched its
conception, being completely reliable in use at different speeds, and, therefore,
a perfect alternative to use in almost any glass-edging and bevelling machine.

With over 40 years

experience in the glass
industry, Grenzebach is no
newcomer to the continuous
and ever more demanding
requests from glassmakers
with regards to equipment
and control of the same. At
glasstec, the German
specialist will be presenting
two important developments
regarding machinery and
software: the new direct
drive stacker and control
system architecture.
Grenzebach Maschinenbau: mechanical and

software developments on show

GRENZEBACH GOES DIRECT

Significantly faster cycle time, higher plate
weights and safe handling of plates up to 16
metres in length - the new Grenzebach stacker
generation once again sets new benchmarks. The
material flow equipment specialist now starts out
with directly driven stackers, which can cope
with any rack geometry. Glass manufacturers
using a variety of rack types and sizes will now
benefit from this high degree of flexibility.
Operators may rely on a rack library to store, to
retrieve and to set up the various rack types
quickly and easily. The new Grenzebach stacker
generation definitely proves itself through performance. The special focus that design engineers put on consistently, reducing the dead
weight and masses moved, clearly pays off.
Apart from the already mentioned high degree of
flexibility, the new stackers excel through work
pace, peak load and plate size performance values previously not available on the market.
The same applies for functionality and operability. This reflects, in detail, the over 40 years
of experience Grenzebach offers in developing
high-end stackers. The intelligent stacker design
combines several functions in a single device.
The new stackers can be operated in various
loading and unloading modes (tin and air side)
without the need for additional mechanics. The
machine is entirely software controlled.
Enabling the loading mode, for example, just
needs a mouse click. All new stackers are driven by servo motor with planetary gear train.
Even under peak loads this proven combination
guarantees reliable stacker operation.
The new direct drive stackers are available in
the following three model series.
Small and medium size stackers
Compared to previous series, the new small
and medium size stackers excel through an
enormous increase in performance. Thanks to
the direct drive the stacker can safely handle 30
per cent bigger sheets weighing up to 180 kilos.
The new stackers are designed for high production speeds and can handle sheets up to 50 kilos
and up to 20 cycles/min air side and maximum
weight sheets at 5.5 cycles/min.
Medium size stackers
The new stacker series handles 535 kilos maximum plate weight at maximum 14 cycles/min air
side and at a maximum of 7 cycles/min tin side convincing performance values never before
available on the market, and setting a new benchmark in the medium size weight category.
Fast, robust jumbo size stackers
This new bottom side stacker is designed for
sheets up to 16 meters in length. Thanks to its
direct drive it possesses maximum flexibility
and high dynamics - despite its size. It is the
ideal jumbo size solution to handle plate
weights up to 1,800 kilos at a maximum of 3
cycles/min.
GOODBYE, SPAGHETTI CODE!

The head is round, so that our mind can
change directions. True to this motto the
developers at Grenzebach keep coming up with
surprising new, innovative ideas. This time the
companys specialists have focused their attention on programmable logic controllers (PLC).
The result is a solution that is as simple as it is
innovative. At glasstec it will be presented to a
wide range of trade and business professionals
for the first time.
The significant innovation concerns the
design of the software. Instead of relying on the
traditional spaghetti code, the new control
system uses ideas and approaches of objectoriented programming. It is based on the certainly not very new knowledge - that the various
components in the production process, such as
drives or sensors, perform a limited number of
recurring tasks. These are defined in modules
and can then, with the help of a graphical representation, be easily linked and adapted to the
respective requirements.
The approach developed by Grenzebach
offers customers a number of benefits that the
conventional spaghetti code programming
does not have. Time consuming service and
maintenance, as well as lengthy development
periods, for instance, are now finally a thing of
the past. Thanks to the modular design and the
uniform, straightforward architecture, all necessary development and maintenance jobs can be
performed with greater speed and flexibility.
The modular and clear-cut structure is a significant improvement in the area of online service and commissioning. Service technicians
can identify and test the current software structure and the values of the respective interface
5/2012
variables at a glance. Comprehensive virtual

total care for the plant control system from
troubleshooting to virtual start-up is made
possible. In line with Grenzebachs good practice and tradition, the new control architecture
was developed with a clear focus on the customers needs and requirements.
As a result, external machines and systems
(ERP), for example, can be quickly and easily
integrated into the modular and clear structure.
Another feature customers are going to appreciate in particular is that the entire software is
based on an open source kernel.
This provides the maximum flexibility in
the use of the control system. Interested customers, who want to learn in-depth about the
new direct drive stackers and PLC architecture
from Grenzebach, can do so by going to
Grenzebachs stand at glasstec in Hall 15,
Stand C42.

Being able to supply a series of

machines and equipment for
efficient IG production is what the
company in this article does. Tenon
with 24 years experience in its
sector presents its most recent
development to our readers in this
article which will be on show at
glasstec.
enon (Beijing) Equipment Co., Ltd.,

based in Beijing, China, has been a leading manufacturer in Asia for high-efficiency insulating glass production lines and
glass related processing machines for 24 years.
The latest products of the company are the automatic gas filling press TE-NGP, automatic sealing robot TSR/1 and horizontal seaming
machine TWM.
AUTOMATIC GAS FILLING PRESS TE-NGP

The TE-NGP is an innovative machine that
simplifies to the utmost the work of operators,
enabling continuous and high-speed gas filled
IG unit manufacturing without loss of production time.
This machine was presented for the first
time at glasstec in 2010, and at China Glass in
2011, where it gained considerable attention
from demanding manufacturers of IG units,
and high-tech IG
glass machines

who need to confirm certified high

quality finished products.
TE-NGP is a fully equipped automatic volume controlled gas filling system for traditional
IG lines, which automatically shows finished
gas volume rates on a touch screen. It is the first
fully automatic system from gas filling to volume check high-tech solutions to be used in the
IG unit industry. Moreover, the touch screen on
the press box has been programmed by Tenon
technicians for simple and intuitive use by operators. The same operators can therefore automatically adjust the requested gas volume and
success rate with the programmed volume control and high definition sensing system.
Further features include:
- excellent gas filling efficiency in continuous
production;

SEAMING
Thanks to considerable studies, experience in

grinding, and market surveys, Tenon has developed the Automatic Horizontal Seaming
Machine TWM with cup grinding wheels. This
design is in response to the needs and demands
of the market that experiences difficulties with
Vertical Seaming Machines using Diamond
Belts or V-wheels. The Automatic Horizontal
Seaming Machine is used to pre-treat the edges
of glass for tempering by grinding all four sides,
along with corner dubbing. The TWM has
excellent working speed, flexibility and with an
efficiency that is up to 10 times higher than a
standard double edger. The TWM automatically
adjusts for different glass sizes and thicknesses,
and can be connected directly in-line with a horizontal washing machine, and feeding into a
tempering furnace.

Until now the market has had

to deal with high operating costs
caused by the expense of diamond belts, low processing efficiency of v-wheels, or intensive
labour, The Tenon Automatic
Horizontal Seaming Machine
now solves these problems
as it has excellent
efficency, grinding quality
and long working life.
Additionally, the TWM is the
perfect solution for seaming low-E
glass thanks to a vacuum conveyer belt system
that ensures the low-E glass surface is not touched
throughout the entire process.
The highly efficient Horizontal Seaming
Machine for insulating glass and tempering
glass was unveiled to the market for the first
time at China Glass 2010 and glasstec 2010.
This unique machine provides complete nonstop production of four-side glass seaming
(grinding) using diamond flat wheel, the
machine controlled by instinctive and user
friendly touch screen interface with graphical
representations of each machine function.
Moreover, all processing is carried out by means
of a highly effective and user-friendly suction
vacuum device.
This machine is ideally suited for existing
tempering furnaces with horizontal washers,
providing perfect glass clearance without labour
handling.
One of the most demanding processing
demands for the Horizontal Seaming Machine
TWM regards solar power panels and decorative panels requiring 3-millimetre seaming.
Thanks to sensitive pneumatic control equip-

robot TSR1
ment and programming, Tenon engineering successfully responded to the demands of these
special glasses with:
- excellent grinding efficiency with high speed
up to 30m/min.;
- excellent lifetime of grinding wheel more
than four months;
- balanced grinding condition through tension
pressing (+-5mm);
- perfect low-E treatment.
BUTYL EXTRUDER EK-2000

One of very important and very critical
machines for IGU manufacture is the Butyl
Extruder, as IGU quality depends on the first
sealing before second sealing by two component sealant extruders.
Tenons EK-2000 Butyl Extruder simplifies
work to the utmost ensuring high speed, convenience, considerably accurate first sealing of
IGU manufacturing, all without any loss of production time.
The EK-2000 Butyl extruder is equipped with
the most innovative solutions accumulated during 23 years of Tenon technology and workshop
experience. The machine is operated entirely by
means of a PLC and touch screen, which automatically adjusts all functions of the machine.
Moreover, the operator friendly touch screen
checks all operating conditions perfectly, signalling by means of an alarm problems such
as lack of air pressure, motor breakdown, time of
Butyl change, out of range butyl temperature, and
so on. These messages are highlighted on the

touch screen and enable to understand and easily
solve the anomaly presented by the machine.
Other features:
- automatic control of nozzle width in application of parallel pneumatic and hydraulic
methods;
- easy and quick changeover of spacer width
on consecutive operations;
- availability to select a function for curved
spacers, can control operational working
height and conveyor belt speed (five-step);
- possibility to control the length of butyl
application and monitoring of current production quantity on colour touch screen.
Over its 23-year history, the Tenon Group has
supplied more than 1,500 IG units worldwide
and has 100 patented items.
AUTOMATIC SEALING ROBOT TSR/1

Tenons automatic sealing robot TSR/1 carries
out the final sealing of the insulating glass panels,
providing accurate sealing of the angles and
ensuring high operating speed by means of the Vbelt transport system which has no contact point
with the sealing point during sealing operations,
minimizing panel contaminating, reducing friction on the glass sheets and allowing to process
big and heavy units. The touch screen control
panel replaces all the manual functions, thus providing user-friendly machine operations. The volume controlled hydraulic mixing metering system
ensures the perfect filling of the external sealing
of IG panels even at vary depths of seal and
around corners. The linear suction device integrat-
ed into the back wall ensures non-slip transport.

An electronic depth monitor mounted on the
nozzle ensures that the material volume is continuously calculated.
The automatic sealing robot TSR/1 also has
the following characteristics:
- single head type;
- high production capacity up to 30m/min.;
- perfect finishing of corners and edges;
- accurate mixing rate;

Amsterdam, like many

European cities,
is renovating and
developing its
once-industrial areas.
The area of the
harbour is no exception
and, with the most
recent addition:
The Curve, is
gaining more and
more prestige.
The ipasol neutral 50/27 solar control glass panes,

some of which are five metres long and weigh over a tonne,
ensure solar control, thermal insulation and lots of daylight

,000 SQUARE METRES OF

TRIPLE
GLAZING WITH IPASOL
The old NDSM (Dutch Dock and

Shipbuilding Company) docks in Amsterdam
just got richer by one architectural highlight:
the asymmetrical cone of The Curve, a highly transparent office building with six floors
totalling 4,350 square metres in area, lies right
by the harbour. Designer Ed Veenendaal and
architect Oever Zaaijer have created a building
that looks like the funnel of an ocean liner.
Metal construction specialist Octatube was
responsible for implementing the challenging
structural glazing faade: sloping triple panes
up to five metres long, each with a unique
shape and some weighing more than a tonne.
Solar control glass ipasol neutral 50/27 with
additional iplus E thermal insulation coating
ensures a light-flooded interior, excellent protection from the summer heat and effective
thermal insulation.
The site of the old docks is, today, a colourful creative centre artists, designers and business start-ups have settled here. The old warehouses are filled with a labyrinth of containers
sheltering offices and studios. The first new
office buildings have risen on the large open
spaces MTV, Red Bull and now The Curve.
Due to the good location, the building is even
visible from the centre of Amsterdam.
CHALLENGING GLAZED FAADE

CONSTRUCTION
The asymmetrical elliptical floor plan of the
ground floor of The Curve is 54 metres long
and 26 metres wide. Vertically, the building
forms a slightly twisted ellipse, giving the
walls up to a height of 26 metres the form of a
tilted cone.
The main frame consists of reinforced concrete floors and diagonal concrete pillars as well
as steel tubes that run along the glass front. The
floor-to-ceiling glass panels, some of which
weigh more than a tonne, are mounted on stainless steel fixtures, point-fitted and held with
clamping plates.
The construction of the triple glazing is a
complex affair: the inner and outer panes are
laminated safety glass, the middle pane is
monolithic. The coatings guarantee an optimal
interior climate: highly functional ipasol neu-
tral 50/27 from Interpane on the exterior

ensures effective protection from the heat of
the summer. A further iplus thermal insulation
coating on the central pane (position 4), and
argon between the panes, prevent excessive
cooling in the winter. The result is colourneutral transparency, relatively high daylight
transmission, with a low solar factor. On cold
days, the excellent Ug value of 0.6 W/(mK)
(according to EN 673) ensures effective thermal insulation. The energy needed for heating,
cooling and lighting is minimized lowering
costs and protecting the environment.
THE COMPANY AND ITS HISTORY

Interpane is a medium-sized corporate group and
one of the major European glass processors.
The companys product range includes float glass
and low-iron float glass for photovoltaic and solar
thermal applications, high-quality coated insulating

OVING INTO THE FUTURE

WITH HIGH SPEED
SOLUTIONS FROM
BYSTRONIC GLASS
Bystronic glass will use its exhibition space

to present high speed solutions for glass processing in the architectural and automotive glass
sectors, as well as innovative solutions for the
solar industry. Moderated live presentations of
machines will take place several times a day and
will offer visitors deeper insights into the fascinating technologies.
NEW BENCHMARK IN TRIPLE

I.G. PRODUCTION
The new speedline for the production of insulating glass will stretch along the entire length of
one side of the stand. In addition there will be the
speedsealer, the quick sealing robot that has
already been introduced onto the market. This
modern production line also includes machinery
that allows for the production of triple I.G. units
with the fastest possible cycle time: two tpsapplicator components that are arranged one after
eco'convect
the other for the application of TPS (Thermo

Plastic Spacer) and the speedassembler, the new
press for the quick assembly and gas filling of
triple insulating glass units.
PROVEN, REVOLUTIONARY
TECHNOLOGIES
In the laminated glass production sector, customers can obtain information about the
ecolamiline, the new production line, which
enables all versions of laminated glass to be
produced in an energy-efficient manner from
simple constructions through to complex shaped
formats with special films all on a single system. The ecoconvect, the pre-nip system that is
proven and continues to be revolutionary, will be
on display at the trade fair stand. The integrated,
innovative technology enables a homogeneous
heat input that is evident in the quality of the end
product. And the eco part of the product name
has not been given by chance: the radiant heater
technology of the pre-nip controls the energy
consumption to match the size of the laminate,
meaning that a small laminate only requires half
of the radiant
heater output by
comparison to a large
laminate for example.
The convection system also
ensures a homogeneous heating in the
pre-nip, therefore allowing the rational lamination of highly reflective, coated glasses. The
omission of compressed air in the clean room of
the ecolamiline provides both financial and
time management savings in respect of the servo
technology which is seven times less expensive
and offers a further benefits in relation to the
environment.
GLASS HANDLING TAKE IT EASY

In addition to the insulating glass line and the
laminated glass pre-nip, customers will also be
able to try a selection of rational handling equipment for all flat glass and plate processing sectors
for themselves. This also includes the best seller,
the Easy-Lift, which has converted customers in
the glass processing industry with its rigid guidance and its low own weight since 1998.
In recent years, the handling equipment has

also gradually won over large window manufacturers with the flexibility of the frame design
and how it can fulfil their requirements.

in the world that can break automotive glass
with or without a template on one single
machine. In addition to templates that support
the glass during the cutting process and ensure a
correspondingly high quality of the break edge,
the champspeed 2in1 is equipped with a freely
manoeuvrable underlay that aligns itself to the
break edges. The customers obtain both functions in one cell and can flexibly switch
between breaking with or without a template.
This provides them with the opportunity to
deploy the machine according to their requirements or orders as well as to optimise their production processes at the same time.
COST REDUCTIONS IN MODULE

PRODUCTION WITH TPEDGE
The TPedge module takes an innovative leap
into the production of solar modules and will
also be on display at the Bystronic glass stand.

It is a joint development by Fraunhofer ISE in
Freiburg and the Bystronic glass Group on the
basis of a Fraunhofer patent. Wafer-based solar
modules can be produced much quicker and
much more inexpensively than standard wafer
modules. The time and cost savings are a consequence of a simplified modular structure and a
completely innovative production technology.
SERVICE WHEREVER
CUSTOMERS NEED ITS
Right from the very first minute, Bystronic
glass supports its customers during the project
planning. The customer service department is
then on hand all over the world for the delivery
of spare parts and on-site support.
Maintenance contracts and individual training
sessions round off the range of services on
offer. Expert contact partners will be on hand
at the glasstec stand to provide information
regarding Bystronic glass service.

RIGINS
Established in 1939 in Birmingham,

England, Alwayse Engineering the
originator of the Ball Transfer Unit has become
an integral part of the material handling industry.
The name Alwayse derives from the multi-directional nature of the companys units, which move
in all directions enabling the easy transfer of both
light and heavy loads, enabling the direction of
motion to change instantly. Whether used for
loading or feeding machines, moving goods or
materials, as an alternative to a castor or in the
form of linear operations, Always units provide
an important and essential service in industries

BALL TRANSFER UNITS

Alwayse Ball Transfer Units (BTUs) can be
manufactured in Nylon Phenolic or steel load
balls. Housings are available in a Bright Zinc
Plate finish and Stainless Steel/Inox. Both
Nylon and Phenolic balls are suitable for glass
handling. BTUs can fit into most applications
with the advantage of three fixing methods:
1

1. Thread. Benefits: Height

adjustable and available
with a dirt exit hole for
debris removal,
2. Flanged. Benefits: Can be

fixed with bolts, rivets or
integrated fixing clips. Plus
no levelling required,
3. Base Fixing. Benefits: Two-hole

and four-hole plates available.
This offers a secure fit as an
alternative to a plate fitting castor.
FLOAT-ON
The handling of flat glass efficiently and
safely can be accomplished with the use of
Alwayse Float-On glass handling units.
In areas such as arrissing, drilling, washing
and assembly lines, Alwayse recommends its
Float-On range, which can be used in dry or wet
tables in the most arduous of conditions, where
glass dust is prevalent from the arrissing/drilling
machines. Because the ball is not held in a body,
the units are easy to clean
and wash. Operating in
harsh working environment
areas, Alwayse recommends regular simple maintenance to check that the
balls are clean, shard free and, most
importantly, level.
Which unit to use and why
This question is frequently asked.
This importance decision can be made
based on the following facts:

35-millimetre diameter balls have
a load capacity of 15 kilos;
50-millimetre diameter balls have
a load capacity of 20 kilos;
black rubber balls have a shore
hardness of 80-85A (30D);
red polyurethane balls have a shore
hardness of 90-95A (48D);
black rubber is the most popular
due to its affordable price;
red polyurethane is a harder material
and can be used in the most arduous
conditions;
the bright zinc plate can be used in dry
or wet conditions. A rust spot will
form in water but functions will still
be guaranteed;
stainless steel can be used in dry
or wet conditions.
For clean working environments such as digital glass printing machinery or vertical washing
machines where multi-directional movement is
required, Alwayse recommends its range of
nylon or phenolic ball units. Alwayse Float-On
and BTUs are used by the worlds largest glass
processors for reasons such as:
instant directional
changes; ensuring
smooth movement of
materials with delicate
or polished surfaces;
designed for use in both
wet and dry conditions.
Alwayse bright zinc plated
units can be used in most applications whilst
Stainless Steel/Inox units are for the most arduous of conditions;
different ball options; both Red
Polyurethane and Black rubber
balls (35 and 50-millimetre)
are available. Red Polyurethane
balls are ideal for hardwearing
applications whereas Black
Rubber can be used for almost
every other application;
Float-On and Ball units are used for easy
handling of other flat sheet materials i.e. granite, wood, plastic, paper and card etc. Whether
for cutting processes or easy transfer of flat
materials Alwayse ensures smooth multi-directional smooth movement.
Alwayse Engineering will be at glasstec in Hall 12 Stand B17.

W
ith the global economic crisis still hitting hard,
Glass-Technology International spoke to the
newly-re-elected President of GIMAV - the Italian
Manufacturers Association of Machinery, Accessories and
Special Products for Glass Processing - Cinzia Schiatti.
THIRD-TIME PRESIDENT
G-TI: You have been elected for the third time running as
president of GIMAV two out of three times during the economic crisis!
Cinzia Schiatti: Yes, the situation of the industry is not so
good and thats a bit of an understatement! And logically, like
everybody else, our association and our members also have
problems caused by the lack of cash flow. In any case, we are
always working close to our company members, in order to
maintain the level of operations and information, etc., that we
have had up to now.
In fact, we are continuing our presence at international

GIMAV: riding
the financial storm with
94
fairs around the world, even if we no longer have

the collaboration of ICE (Italian Institute for
International Trade and Commerce). This means
that we now have to do everything ourselves
contacting the fairs, and trying to get good deals
for our members.
In any case, and thanks to our contacts
around the world, we give our associates the
possibility of participating in these trade fairs.
G-TI: With your re-election, three out of
five GIMAV board members are women!
Cinzia Schiatti: Yes, in fact, myself, Renata
Gaffo, Nancy Mammaro of Mappi
International, Federica Bovone and Barbara
Antonini, but this does not really have an
important effect on the decisions that we make
- together. It is more important to say that we
have different names and faces on the board,
bringing new and innovative ideas.
There has also been a generation change in
the association, caused by internal generation
changes in company members too.
due to the fact that the cost for

this kind of machinery is much
higher than other machines such
as, for example, grinders or
bevellers.
G-TI: How has GIMAV tried to deal with

and respond to the market during this crisis?
Cinzia Schiatti: We are, of course, fundamentally different from German companies,
who deal with the crisis by forming alliances
and cooperation agreements. This kind of collaboration is not so frequent in Italy but we do
have agents that group together products of
different companies. This means that when they
go to sell products, they have a series of companies able to offer maybe a complete line
almost like a one-stop shop.
Cooperation between Italian companies is
usually based on the supply of machines that the
company concerned does not manufacture.
G-TI: On the other hand,

what kind of machinery is giving good response even in this
period?
Cinzia Schiatti: Semi-automatic machinery still has quite a
good market, especially in countries such as Brazil and South
American in general, where advanced electronics are still not so requested. Medium-sized
automatic machines not excessively electronic are also responding better.
Brazil, in fact, with its mass production,
needs machines that can be set up and left to
work and produce, without continuous intervention from operators.
G-TI: The global economic crisis, and even

more, the lack of financing, is causing the
economic world to come to a halt. Which
areas are being affected with regards to the
glass industry?
Cinzia Schiatti: There are areas where the
industry was really strong and fast moving
like Dubai, for example, where construction has
dropped drastically.
Product types suffering the most are those
connected to construction and, especially,
machines for the production of IG units, also
G-TI: How are Italy and its machinery

manufacturers reacting to the market?
Cinzia Schiatti: With regards to Italy, companies able to withstand the situation are those
working internationally. Most of these companies now have 95 per cent or more of their production going to international destinations compared to the maximum figures of 80-85 per cent
in the past. These exports, moreover, are only in
small part going to Europe. And SMEs are suffering a little less than larger companies because
of their flexibility and ability to carry out short
5/2012
GIMAV
Cinzia Schiatti confirmed at the
helm of Italian glass industry
and diverse production runs, but
also because of the possibility for
clients to speak directly to the
owner of the small- and medium
sized company.
ITALYS STRONG AND

WEAK POINTS
Italy, its industries and its
products have an important
strong point and that is their
really good quality price ratio.
Another important aspect is
the level of technology that Italian companies and products have.
Unfortunately, Italy and companies here have
many weak points, which often do not depend
on the companies at all. These weaknesses
depend on the absence of help from the Italian
government, and, of course, the lack of cash
flow, which, in turn, causes a slow down or even
lack of payments for work carried out.
G-TI: Which European countries are moving, and how?
Cinzia Schiatti: As can be seen in the recent
statistic results published by GIMAV, Poland
seems to be the most active country, with France
and Germany, for example, working at a stop
and go level, while the rest of Europe is almost
stopped. There was a slight comeback in the
United Kingdom, but this came to a halt after
just three months.
The GIMAV sector at China Glass 2012
GIMAV has continued to move and develop during the difficult years
of the global meltdown, by implementing effective strategies to
promote Italian-made production in markets with a high potential for
Italian glass technology. This will be the starting point for her third
mandate, confirmed the newly-elected chairperson Cinzia Schiatti:
The main goal of the association is to increase the visibility of
producers on the global market by offsetting competition from other
countries. For this very reason GIMAV is present at the topmost
international exhibitions, where it organizes and coordinates the
participation of member companies. The association is also working
on standards, and is constantly in contact with Italian and overseas
government authorities, as well as on communications, by promptly
updating all its members on all the latest news for the sector. Over
the coming years we will continue to work in these two areas, which
are aimed at promoting the quality of Italian products.
After her language studies overseas and 28 years spent working as
sales manager in the company her grandfather Elia Schiatti founded
to build flat glass processing machinery, Cinzia Schiatti was elected
chairman of GIMAV in 2008, one of the most prestigious positions in
the Italian glass industry.
At the head of the overseas trade department in the family business,
she has spent most of her business life taking part in leading
international appointments liaising with the players in the industry,
and overseeing an extensive network of agents and representatives
on leading overseas markets in Europe, US, China, Russia, as well as
Brazil, India and North Africa.
Drawing on this experience during her previous terms in office, Cinzia
Schiatti has been successful in promoting Italian market presence
across the world through GIMAV, by forging the relations that are a
must-have for a worldwide market presence. The Italian sector of
glass-working machinery is highly export-oriented: Italian-designed
and built machinery is well-known and recognized across the five
continents for its quality production. GIMAV groups about 70% of
Italian companies from the sector, where revenues account for 80%
of the turnover and 77% of total exports by Italian producers from
the glass industry.
The Board of Directors of GIMAV is now as follows:
Cinzia Schiatti President
Dino Fenzi Honorary President
Aldo Faccenda Vice President
Dino Zandonella Necca Vice President and President
of Equipment Suppliers Group
Angelo Lovati Board Member and Past President
Michele Gusti President of the Hollow Glass Group
Ilario Borgonovo President of Vetrunione Group
Barbara Antonini Board Member of the Hollow Glass Group
Federica Bovone Board Member
Adelio Lattuada Board Member
Nancy Mammaro Board Member
Roberto Nori Board Member
Annibale Besana Past Honorary President
The Board of Auditors is made up of: Fortunato Vianello, Andrea
Zafferani, Michele Tirelli.

GIMAV: riding

GIMAV at Glass South America
The results of Russia are probably also

due to the lack of financing as in the rest of
Europe.
G-TI: And what about India, with its
+239% growth?
Cinzia Schiatti: India is one of the worlds
emerging countries, even if it is still behind
China with regards to growth, also due to
extremely high import duties.
With regards to the rest of the world, and
medium to large machines, we can say that
south-east Asia, and Malaysia in particular, are
starting to prefer European to Chinese products
as companies want the guarantee of quality and
long working life of their machines.
Some larger Chinese companies are now concentrating on quality to reach CE safety levels,
which will cause the costs of their machines to
increase. Another difficulty for Chinese compa-
nies is the problem of assistance, maintenance

and repairs, as well as the availability of spare
parts for companies in Europe.
And with this is mind, we can see that our
main competitor right now is China and it is
here that we are ahead, with our technology.
G-TI: What can you tell us about South
America?
Cinzia Schiatti: Speaking about South
America, for example, we need to speak about
Brazil, where the next Football World Cup will
be held and where construction is really moving
fast. This situation, however, may be very similar to what happened in South Africa before the
World Cup there lots of activity, many promises and good outlooks, but after the Cup all
went back to normal. So companies need to
move now to benefit.
The Brazilian industry is made up
GIMAV
Italian glass machinery
sector report
mainly of large and very large companies
there are no SMEs there, and volumes of
imports regarding machinery are really high.
Thanks to the policies in force in Brazil in these
last few years, the entire country is changing,
with exports to Brazil seeing really good results
in 2011.
GLASSTEC AND TRADE FAIRS

G-TI: What are GIMAVs expectations for
glasstec and how are you preparing for this
trade fair?
Cinzia Schiatti: Of course, like everyone else
working in the glass industry, I would also like
to see great improvements and comebacks from
glasstec. But being realistic, and considering the
state of the market, I dont really expect such a
positive outcome.
If we consider visitor numbers, above all, you
know that a few years ago we started to see
fewer but much more focussed and quality visitors. The people at fairs now are there for a precise scope to buy. Maybe not so immediate,
but they want to buy for sure.
G-TI: What do you think about more
localized trade events such as those in South
Africa, Middle East, South America and
China? Do you think that these are better
than events in Germany and Europe, for
example?
Cinzia Schiatti: No, not really, the appointment in Dsseldorf, and also Vitrum in Milan,
attracts visitors from all over the world.
New products, for example, are usually on
show at the bigger and international fairs not
the more local events.

GIMAV provides a close-up of the industry in 2011: exports up by 7.86%

with more than positive results in China, but also in Poland, India, US,
Turkey and South Korea.
GIMAVs official data reflects positive growth for the industry of machinery,
accessories and special products for glass processing in 2011, in line with
the entire machine building industry, up by 11.5% at EUR 7.8 billion. The
positive performance is largely the result of brilliant exports, the true driving
force behind the industry. Exports increased significantly and approached
pre-crisis levels, unlike domestic sales that remained sluggish.
After the heavy setback of 2009 exports slowly started climbing again, but
with periods of promising vitality dotted with moments of market stagnation.
Despite this fluctuating performance, the sector closed 2011 on positive
ground, although the flat glass industry is still feeling the pinch of the
persisting crisis affecting the construction industry.
Statistical surveys for exports indicate an overall growth of +7.86%, more
specifically:
- machinery, accessories and special products for flat glass + 5.10%;
- machinery, accessories and special products for hollow glass + 12.90%.
For the first time, the European Union lost its leadership as Italys main
preferential market outlet, dropping from 35.82% in 2010 to 29.94% in
2011. However, if all exports to non-EU countries are considered which
proved to be on an encouraging upswing continental Europe as a whole
remains the destination of 46% of Italian exports.
Export flows are increasingly shifting towards emerging countries in Asia
and Latin America (although the latter is slightly slowing down compared to
the recent past). Moreover, statistics also show that one of Italys historic
market outlets, i.e. the US, is starting to rebound.
The ranking of the top 15 client countries by percentage share of total exports
by Italian companies clearly highlights that the staggering rise of China
continued also throughout 2011, thus confirming its leadership as Italys
market outlet. Also noteworthy was the considerable growth of Poland, that
climbed from 11th to 4th position and with an absolute value increase of over
230%, India (from 15th to 5th), the US (from 12th to 8th), Turkey (from 13th
to 9th) and South Korea, with a jump from 24th to 11th place.
The main underperformers were Germany and Spain, the latter having
almost halved its purchases from Italy, followed by Egypt (-59.56% in value)
and Belgium (-80.51%).
In 2011, imports scored an overall increase of 15.8% compared to 2010, but
with contrasting performance of the two sectors comprising the glass
processing industry:
- Cold working machines and accessories (flat glass): - 42.34%;
- Hot working machines and accessories (hollow glass): + 30.25%.
Despite the strong export propensity, Italian companies are by far the
preferred suppliers of the domestic market for this industry, especially for
the flat glass-processing sector.
After the negative result suffered in 2009 and the faint recovery signs
emerging in 2010, the Italian industry of machinery, accessories and special
products for flat and hollow glass processing vigorously resumed its journey
towards growth in 2011, despite the persisting weakness of the domestic
market. This notwithstanding, confirms Renata Gaffo, Director of GIMAV,
the future will not be all smooth sailing, especially in the Euro area in
general and more particularly on the domestic market, due to the persisting
recession in some key markets, first and foremost the construction
industry. The constantly growing prices of energy, raw materials and labour
exacerbated by an exorbitantly high taxation level clearly indicate that the
crisis will not be over soon. Statistical surveys in the first two months of
2012 point to flagging demand from overseas, thus confirming the
fluctuating trend that for a few years now has been a fixture of certain
markets and which thwarts the development of far-reaching programmes by
our companies.

Evalam T-B (Evalam Temper-Bend) is

a product with excellent optical properties, recommended for extreme environments
or curved faades and tempered with fastening
systems, where the importance of flexion is critical to avoid potential delamination due to
stress, as well as where glass flexion will suffer
during its life cycle caused by atmospheric
agents such as wind or snow.

IMPROVED OPTICAL FEATURES

Improved optical features on EVA are determined by what we call Haze. Although the
transparency parameter is important, almost all
the EVA films have obtained acceptable parameters for the human eye. But when we talk about
Haze, there is also an overwhelming difference.
It is undoubtedly the parameter to take into
account when assessing good optical properties,
which only appears when sunlight influences
laminated products.
Evalam Temper-Bend is a product with a
Haze currently incomparable to any other in the
EVA film market. As well as offering an edge
with regards to the tone of the glass being
processed, thanks to Evalam Temper-Bend the
glass has a transparent tone. In the case of not
having a series of Haze and transmittance measurements, Pujol recommends to carry out four
tests of 10 x 10 centimetres with four EVA layers using extra clear glass to compare each EVA
film. Once rolled (laminated), the four test
glasses should be stacked on a white base and
the Haze between them and the edge colour that
each of the EVA films should be visually examined. Besides the Haze difference between each
of the EVA films, we can also observe that
Evalam Temper-Bend does not yellow at the
edges or produce greenish tones on float glass;
it is simply transparent. Pujol advises to realize
the same test with just one EVA film.
GREATER UV FILTERING; INCREASING

LIFE CYCLE
The UV filter determines less aggression
towards bodies that are behind the laminated
glass and especially increases the life cycle of
laminated glass with EVA. This fact is verified
by a radiation and aging test which shows that
the yellow change with Pujol Evalam TemperBend is only 2 after 3,000 hours of UV radiation, a high temperature of 85C, 85 per cent
humidity, test of 400 cycles with high temperatures of 85C and low temperature of -40C.
Only Evalam and another brand in the EVA
market are currently able to reach 99.3 per cent
of the UV filter at a wave of 370. Pujols new
product Evalam Temper-Bend has been developed to increase UV absorption at a 390 UV
wavelength, increasing filtering and therefore
its resistance against solar agents compared to
other EVA films on the market. And, of course,
protecting all items behind the laminated glass
from the damaging rays of sunlight.

Evalam Temper-Bends high value
of adhesion compared to other EVA
films provides great results in cutting
table tests, as well as those regarding
UV filter. It provides greater security with
regards to delamination and aging against possible external agents such as wind, rain or snow,
when the laminated glass is placed in a faade
and is secured by anchors.
For example, in a spider form enabling to
reduce glass thickness and thus to obtain a
reduction in the total cost of the architectural
structure.

Results show that Evalam Temper-Bend has

greater adhesion to the glass after a breakagecompared to PVB.
THE BEST SOUND INSULATION

As we can see from Fig. 10, Evalam has better sound proofing properties compared to ther
products, including PVB, making it an excellent
product for noisy environments.
CERTIFICATIONS
EVA is generally stronger than PVB against

moisture, when laminated glass is exposed to
open edges but we must still determine to what
extent it affects every type of EVA or laminated
glass. Evalam Temper-Bend was exposed to a
test temperature of 85C and humidity of 85 per
cent RH for 1,000 hours with satisfactory
results, without any other phenomenon of
delamination, yellowing or bubbles.
GREATER COHESION OF THE GLASS

TO BREAKAGE
Comparison of heat resistance and moisture between Evalam and PVB
The test used is the breakage of glass after
being at a temperature of 23C +/-5 per cent for
40 hours and put in a tank of thermostatic water
to 100C for two hours of permanence.

EVALAM 80-120
Fig. 6 Cutting Table
The consolidated Evalam 80-120 film is recommended for performing inserts for indoor
and outdoor applications. Its high percentage of
UV filter also enables to extend the life cycle of
the EVA film and increase durability of the
insertion placed in a radiation test for 2,000
hours. The main advantage that Evalam 80-120
has is the ability to work both at 80C and at
135C; not all insertions are able to support
increases in temperature above 100C.
Thanks to its high fluidity, Evalam 80-120 film
enables to create numerous and complex inser-
5/2012
tions that cannot be made with other EVA films,

with greater rigidity and only high temperature.
EVALAM MASSIVE
Evalam Massive is a high temperature EVA
with excellent optical properties, recommended
for indoor or outdoor environments where price
and transparency are important factors and
where external elements are not overly aggressive. Its Haze value can be compared in Figure
1, and UV filtering value that determines the
degree of aging in Figure 4.
Pujol recommends its use with three or four
layers when placed outside, thus dramatically
improving UV values.

EVALAM COLOR
Evalam Color has been developed to work
with temperatures of 120C, providing high
resistance of colour over time. Most Eva Color
available on the market tends to lose colour at
the ends of the corners, when it reaches
temperatures above 100C.
This type of loss of tone can be seen mostly in
colours such as red, where the differences in
colour between the centre and edges of the
glass are evident. To prevent loss of tone, almost
all manufacturers have chosen to process them
with temperatures of 80C giving priority to colour
standardization over duration in time. Evalam
colour items laminated with Hornos Pujol
furnaces are achieved with both colour durability
and uniformity.
The different shades of Evalam Color EVA can
be combines so that with only 11 colours, a range
of more than 270 colours can be created at a lower
cost of stock for rolls of coloured EVA. During
glasstec, new colours will be presented.

Hubtex: safe and efficient

flat glass handling
ne of the important sectors of Hubtex

is the glass industry. The German company has sold over 600 glass transport
systems to flat glass manufacturers and flat glass
processors worldwide. Hubtex glass transport
systems are well-known for their robust technical
execution, long life expectancy, high quality, high
truck reliability which, in turn, leads to low lifetime cost.
Hubtex is able to provide strong after sales
organization worldwide with over 60 service
partners and 10 subsidiaries.
CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
Flat glass manufacturers in different countries
face different intra logistic challenges.
Customers main targets are to make logistic
operations inside the factory safer, more efficient,
increase warehouse capacity, follow market
needs and optimize operation costs. Hubtex is,
together with clients, able to develop handling
solutions that meets all expectations.
For a flat glass manufacturer in Brazil, Hubtex
developed a Electric Multidirectional Sideloader
with special pick-up device for the handling of
glass packs in Colares (steel brackets that enable
to crane glass packs). The Hubtex equipment
offered the customer important reasons to justify
the higher investment costs for a better solution.
The customer saved the investment cost for
overhead cranes in the whole warehouse area.
The elimination of crane tracks enbled to construct a much lighter building shell, also leading to significant cost savings. Hubtex
Sideloaders are able to stack glass packs two
levels high, which doubles warehouse storage
capacity, and are also able to handle up to six
With more than 20 years

experience in the design and
construction of glass transport
systems, and active in the glass
sector since 1993, Hubtex has
set standards with a number of
developments and product
improvements in response to
the numerous and highly
diversified client needs and
demands regarding the
transport of this strong but at
the same time delicate
material: glass.
glass packs with a total weight of 13,2 tons at

a time. This high capacity reduces the number
of working cycles, making workflow more
efficient. In the past, handling was carried out
pack by pack with conventional forklifts,
which made the workflow very slow. The use
of two Hubtex vehicles replaced 12 forklifts.
Another advantage is that Hubtex
Sideloaders are operated by a single person
with perfect visibility, and in complete safety
in the case of glass breakage.

For another flat glass manufacturer in

Germany, Hubtex supplied a glass frame transporter (GTR type) able to handle 9.3-metre Aand L-racks loaded with glass pack of up to 9
metres in length.
Hubtex sideloaders with glass pack rotating
device were used to solve the problem of a customer regarding the fact that LES size demand
was higher than Jumbo demand. Capacity on the
LES stackers had already reached the maximum
limit and the aim was to use the Jumbo stackers
to stack LES sizes (double stacking). In the past,
the client produced Jumbo sizes and transferred
them to a separate cutting line, causing inefficient
double handling and high handling costs.
The problem was that he could only stack the
LES packs on the Jumbo stacker in portrait sense,
but had no equipment to rotate the glass packs
into the landscape sense for shipment. In this
case, the Hubtex sideloader with glass pack rotating device avoids double handling and helps flat
glass customers follow market requirements.

requires only one operator, who stands on a platform above the load. The advantages of this
equipment are: very good visibility, multidirectional steering system which enables exact
maneuvering and smooth working hydraulics. All
these features are necessary to move hundreds of
glass packs safely and efficiently each day.
The basic version of the M-Series is
equipped with a number of standard safety features such as anti-glass breakage sensors
installed on the forks.

The main job within a flat glass factory is to

store glass packs on floor bearers to increase
warehouse density and storage capacity. On the
other hand, commissioning of glass packs and
their preparation on A- or L-racks for shipment
is carried out according to customers orders. As
an option, the Sideloaders can be equipped with
vacuum attachments for the handling of single
glass sheets.
GLASS FRAME TRANSPORTERS GTR SERIES

Capacities from 15 to 42 tonnes
Hubtex Glass Frame Transporters are utilized in
the flat glass industry for the handling of A- and
L-stillages with lateral lifting rails. The main jobs
are the loading and unloading of stacker tables at
the cold end, but also of stacker tables at glass
processing lines (mirror, coating, laminating,
automotive off-line cutting etc.). They are also
used to move the A- and L-racks between the
cold end, warehouse and dispatch. They are
available electrically, diesel- or gas powered and
can be equipped with Vulkollan (PU) tyres for
indoor use and /or with solid rubber tyres for
combined indoor and outdoor applications.
Glass stillages are picked up from floor level by
synchronous vertical lifting of the chassis with
carrying rails. The special vertical lifting movement guarantees the safe and precise lifting of
glass stillages without displacement. Four
hydraulic clamps hold the glass sheets in place
during transport. The GTR 330 E/D/G is available with drivers stand or closed, sit-down cabin.
On request, an easily removable plastic cover
to protect from rain can be supplied with wing or
roller doors to be opened and closed electrically
from the driver cabin. The closed driver cabin for

combined in- and outdoor use, with rotatable drivers seat, heating, air condition and more, is also
available. The drivers stand can also be equipped
with a bilaterally adjustable operator panel for
enhanced visibility during truck manoeuvring
with the glass frame loaded.
The transporters are also equipped with horizontal standard glass clamps for minimum glass
heights of 2400 millimetres and/or optional vertical glass clamps with increased retention force
for thin glass and minimum glass heights of 1600
millimetres.

offers the GTT series.
This truck is equipped
with a liftable platform
that drives underneath
the A- or L-stillages.
Once the platform
is well-positioned the operator can, with the
platform, lift the A- or L-stillage from the
ground and move it around the factory. The
truck has a very compact design, high manoeuvrability with an extremely small turning
radius. The GTT platform transporter can also
be equipped with a hydraulically rotatable
glass securing system to stabilize glass packs
on the right or left side of the stillage. The
glass securing system is adjustable as per the
height and thickness of the glass packs that
need to be secured. The truck can be equipped
with an operator stand in combination with a
shiftable dashboard for enhanced visibility
during the pick-up and deposit of glass stillages. For long drive distances, the truck can
be equipped with a cross-seat cabin. On
request, a colour camera system is available for
better views underneath the stillage, or special
stillage securing systems to stabilize unsymmetrically loaded stillages.
PROVEN LIFE EXPECTANCY

Hubtex has supplied over 600 glass transport systems to customers all over the world
since 1993.
Hubtex glass transport systems are used nonstop in very hard three-shift applications 365 days
per year, for a total of over 10,000,000 working
hours of experience in glass handling.
Working hours increase continuously, because
even the first machines delivered in 1993 are still
working and doing their job every day. Hubtex
glass transport systems have definitely proven
their high life expectancy and, sometimes, different truck generations come together.

Since our last

article about this
company in 2009,
there have been
some important
changes and
developments
even in this
adverse economic
scenario. Starting
its activities 30
years ago, COMSS
has continued to
develop and
expand its
technology in the
screen printing
sector, working
with major
glassmakers
worldwide.
EY WORDS: SERVICE AND RELIABILITY
The name CO.M.S.S. stands for Costruzione Macchine Stampa

Serigrafica (Construction of Screen Printing Machines), but we like to
think and are sure that the double S has a double meaning: Service and
Seriousness/Reliability, the way of working that has always been behind our
company. This is one of the reasons why COMSS continues to grow despite
this long and ongoing economic recession.
The daily commitment of the company, in fact, is that of technically
improving our machines of course, but also the service that we offer each and
every client.
Nowadays, in fact, the delivery of a machine is only 50 per cent of the work,
we must also supply pre- and post-sales service that always meets and respond
to our customers needs.
COMSS is highly appreciated internationally with regards to this offer of
machinery and service and it is here, in fact, internationally, where COMSS
is investing to improve the satisfaction of its clients even more.
COMSS has been active in the market since 1974 with the same name and the
same logo, demonstrating that even then, Service and Seriousness/Reliability
were, and will always be the foundations of the company.

SILK SCREEN PRINTING MACHINE
Technical and functional characteristics
Structure
The load-bearing structure is made of steel tubes and is equipped with
pivoting wheels for easier transportation and adjustable articulated feet
to maintain the table perfectly level.
Print bed
It consists in a layer of wooden material with laminated surface and
non-scratch finish. The printing bed is equipped with micrometric
regulations along the X and Y axes (range 40 millimetres) to facilitate
the setting and centring of the silk-screen frame with the panel to be
printed. The micrometric regulations are carried out by means of
purposely designed knobs located on the front of the machine. The
print bed is also equipped with a lever locking system used to maintain
the position obtained at set-up. The locking levers are located near the
knobs of the Y axis. The release levers must be loosened during set-up
phase.
Frame holder clamps
The silk-screen frame is mounted on purposely designed clamps that
can slide along the support shaft to match the dimensions of the silkscreen frame to use. The frame is locked in position by means of screw
knobs. The frame thickness can be from 20 to 50 millimetres. The two
columns that support the shaft are equipped with vertical regulation
(range 50 millimetres) to match the thickness of the panel to be
printed. The folding aperture is assisted by counterweights that also
ensure the positioning (high - down).
Printing unit (optional)
it consists of a carriage that slides on the guides fitted on the machine
structure. The carriage supports an articulated arm complete with
squeegee-holder clamp. The length of the squeegee is selected
according to the dimensions of the pattern to print. The arm extends
up to the front of the machine and has a handle on
the end that the operator must push downwards
and pull to get the printing unit to move forward.
Tools drawer
The table also includes one tools drawer
located on the front of the machine where to
keep tools and
accessories used for
printing or for the
maintenance of the
machine.

insulated plates that ensure the machine is well heat-insulated.
Transport system
The transport system consists of a fiberglass mesh conveyor
belt with teflon coating that is resistant to high temperatures
(standard version). On request, it can be fitted with a kevlar
mesh conveyor belt with teflon coating for extra mechanical
resistance. Steel idle rollers support the conveyor belt along
all its length. The belt is driven and managed by an inverter
and transportation speed can be adjusted by means of a
potentiometer fitted on the control console.
Drying section
The drying tunnel is composed of three consecutive sets of
infrared lamps, which can be selected and enabled
independently from the control console along with the
possibility of regulating working temperature individually for
each lamp. The first set works with low temperature for a
perfect flash-off of inks, while the second set works with
medium temperature and the last set with high temperature
for a definitive drying process.
Each infrared lamp set ends with a blower that blows the hot
air generated by the lamps themselves.

product range has continued to expand, also
thanks to the close collaboration with its
clients, and to company philosophy for Made
to Measure products.
At the ends and at the centre of the drying tunnel there are
three extractors to expel the vapours generated by the paints;
these extractors are fitted with a collector that can be
connected to a suction plant.
Cooling section
The cooling section consists of one set of eight high-pressure
electric fans that allow a large quantity of air at ambient
temperature to flow into the tunnel through a lamellar system,
thus enabling to cool the glass panels partially. The electric
fans are managed by means of the command panel and can be
activated in sets of four.

Pros and cons of

high convection
furnaces
ONVECTION HEATING
BACKGROUND
Pure radiation heating furnaces did

not actually exist after an advantageous
Tamglass heating balance patent expired over
10 years ago. This patent expiration brought
roller hearth furnace manufacturers much closer
to each other as far as heating technology was
concerned. However, already in the 1990s, more
advanced companies started to develop blower
operated internal circulation convection technologies. There were many failures but already
in 1996 the first perfect process was implemented by Ianua of Italy. There were two main
secrets of this perfection, both very familiar,
from radiation heating furnaces:
1. the use of good heat focusing control system
of radiation heating furnaces was applied for
convection air. That means more heat where
more heat is needed. More heat is needed
where there is more glass, especially important for large sheet sizes; and
2. the elimination of roller temperature drop
with high furnace loading. This also eliminated roller overheating during furnace empty
time or low loading.
These features were
not patented. The door
was therefore open for
development.
Considering
the
many advantages of
convection
heating
furnaces it is surprising to see that convection heating furnaces
have not dominated
the market more than
they have done so far.
One reason may be
that there are a large
number of convection
variations, some operated with compressed air,
with or without ejector effect. Blower operated
convections are also sometimes with top convection only. There are especially various convection
efficiencies depending on convection air volume
and pressure, different nozzles and air flow
arrangements, etc. These have an important effect
on the intensity and efficiency of convections.
Smart
Cycle
convection
and heating
system,
including
patented
features
The cost of making effective convection is

also high or very high depending on design,
manufacturing location, etc. Comparison of a
great number of different technologies is practically impossible. That is also why this presentation compares two main technologies:
1. radiation heating furnaces, which means
single chamber furnaces with compressed air
heating balance; and
2. high convection furnaces, which means
single chamber furnaces with blower operated
convection.
Both of these furnaces have temperatures of
about 700C. Radiation heating is normally a little higher and convection heating often slightly
below 700C. The capacity of high convection
furnaces is 50-70 per cent higher than radiation
heating furnaces for clear glass, and about 100150 per cent higher for low emissivity glasses,
depending on emissivity value. Different convection efficiencies for glasses with varying
emissivity values are illustrated in Figure 6,
while Figure 1 describes the main advantages and
disadvantages of high convection furnaces.
HIGH CAPACITY IS OFTEN CONSIDERED

ONLY AS INCREASED PRODUCTION
This presentation excludes furnace size as far
as production capacity is concerned, because
large furnace size is selected for maximum glass
size, not to increase capacity. Large, (wide) furnaces would lead to huge tempering blower
sizes for thin glasses, worse glass quality and
uneconomical and inconvenient operation.
Increased tempered glass sales would be easy
to understand as an extra profit. Fifty per cent or
more high convection furnace capacity means
extra profit only if market absorbs extra capacity.
Convection furnaces increase glass sales rather
indirectly, thanks to better glass quality and capability to temper coated glasses. Not purely from
higher capacity.

Labour cost saving is directly the result of

higher capacity as less working hours are
required for the given tempered glass production. Depending on labour cost, number of operators needed for particular operation and working hours per day labour cost saving can be
0.50 EUR/m of glass. That could mean over
EUR 100,000 per year. The effect of capacity
for production volume and labour cost saving is
presented in Figure 2 in percentage compared to
radiation heating and lower capacity furnaces.
Energy consumption saving is more difficult
to understand. It seems that there is also incorrect information in the market. Energy consumption can be divided into three categories:
Capacity
increase
and
labour
cost
savings
1. Glass heating. The physical fact is, that 4-millimetre glass requires 1.4 kWh/m to elevate
temperature from 20C to 630C.
2. Glass tempering and cooling cannot be really
less than heating. Natural cooling and little
higher unloading temperature assist only
very little. As loading efficiency is often 65
per cent, this means, that 35 per cent of tempering and cooling air goes to waste.
Additionally, blower(s) are idle for a great
portion of time. Furthermore, there are other
mechanical losses. If we consider a loading
efficiency of 65 per cent, a rough figure for
tempering and cooling would be 1.4 kWh/m
/ 0,65 = 2,15 kWh/m.
3. The rest of energy consumption is waste.
When looking at heating and cooling combined
(3,55 kWh/m for 4-millimetre glass) and comparing it to the figures shown in literature, questions arise. The great majority of energy goes to
the heating and cooling. Energy saving efforts
can really be directed only to waste, which

could, in reality, be in the range of 15 per cent.
Thus 30 per cent savings in waste would mean
less than 5 per cent in total energy bills. We are,
however, still speaking of important money.
Convection furnace energy savings are often
considered to be due to convection heating. That
is not necessarily true. The fact is, that:
- Lower energy consumption of convection
furnaces is often considered to be because of
convection itself. The convection heating
process saves energy as it has lower production time than radiation heating for given
glass quantity. This means that conduction
energy losses through furnace walls and
openings to the environment are less. On the
other hand, convection blowers require some
20-25 kW power to circulate hot air in medium-sized furnaces.
- Radiation heating heating balance wastes
energy in two ways. Compressed air is an
expensive form of energy and heating balance air transfers hot air out of the furnace.
Additionally, conduction losses of radiation
heating furnaces are higher.
The pure heating balance air does not waste
energy much more than convection furnace hot
air blowers. However, if heating balance air is
used to try to temper coated glasses or increase
capacity, energy losses become very important.
However, energy saving of convection furnaces in tempering and cooling are more important. The reason for this can be seen in Figure 3.
For normal glass thicknesses, 3 millimetres to
12 millimetres, the heating time of radiation
heating is much longer than tempering and cooling time. With high convection furnaces, 12 millimetres clear glass heating and cooling times
are approximately the same. The graph in
Figure 3 shows approximate cycles of heating
and tempering and cooling for 4-millimetre
glass for the two furnace types.
Tempering and cooling time for 4-millimetre
glass is the same for
both furnace types. It
can be calculated to be
50 seconds. Simple
calcu-lation shows that

time for convection furnaces is 0.5 hours per hour,

but for radiation heating furnaces, it becomes 0.67
hours. The difference is 0.17 hours. With idling
power of 200 kW, energy waste of radiation
heating furnaces is 35 kWh per hour compared
to high convection heating furnaces. For 3-millimetre glass, energy waste increases by about
50 per cent.
MARKET ADVANTAGES
Most of architectural glass is coated glass,
forcing the majority of glass processors to invest
in convection heating furnaces. Coatings are
getting better and better. Polished silver is generally considered the surface with the lowest
emissivity: 0.02. In the glass tempering business, figures of 0.02 or even 0.01 are sometimes
mentioned, whether such glasses exist or not.
The situation is somewhat unclear. That is why
it is important to remember that it is convection
which increases furnace heating speed.
Therefore higher capacity for clear glass always
means better convection and, consequently, better characteristics for low emissivity glass.
Roller
temperature
control
roller temperature drop even more. High convection on rollers with present well known furnaces has proven to be a very effective stabilizer of roller temperature. Similarly, Smart
Cycle roller heat stabilizers have proven to be
effective due to their high capacity and easy
operation. Figure 4 illustrates the situation with
the main alternatives with 100 per cent loading
efficiency. One hundred per cent loading efficiency is selected for demonstration reasons as
in this condition, top-side radiation or top convection would not assist maintaining roller temperature at a sufficient level. So-called waiting
time, delaying new loads after the previous
load has exited the furnace, is a know method to
reduce roller temperature drop. This, however,
causes capacity loss making operations more
difficult.
Natural results of better heating control and
GLASS QUALITY IS BECOMING

MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT
Capacity and glass quality actually go hand
in hand. It is a widely accepted fact that convection heating furnaces give better glass quality. It
is especially easy to see on glass edges.
Radiation heating and natural convection associated by radiation heating heats edges to a
higher temperature than other parts of glass.
This results in optical defects called kinks.
These glass temperature differences can also
break the glass during tempering. Well designed
high convection and heating control actually
prevent the overheating of edges and eliminate
kinks. If the glasses have holes, notches or
other irregular shapes, the benefits of convection heating are even greater.
PROCESS ADVANTAGES
Roller temperature fluctuation is a known
problem with radiation heating furnaces. If the
convection furnace has top convection only, the
top side heating speed would increase 50-150
per cent depending on glass types. A higher
loading rate of cold glass would increase the
more uniform glass temperature are higher

yields. Yield, especially, is much better and much
more important with highly pre-processed glasses with holes, notches, polished edges etc.,
because they are too expensive to be broken during tempering. This also applies to coated glass.
Convection furnace yields are often 99 per cent
+0.5-1 per cent, whereas with radiation heating
furnaces they are often 97 +/- 1-2 per cent.
OTHER ASPECTS AND THE FUTURE

OF CONVECTION FURNACES
High heating speed naturally requires proportionally more heating power. If loading delay
is not used, the transformer size becomes high,
5/2012
because the maximum power consumption

for heating and tempering take place simultaneously according to Figure 3. This can be
expensive in some countries, where high
prices are applied for higher power supply
and/or for peak power consumption.
Without sufficient power feed high convection furnace advantages cannot be fully
exploited.
As far as operations are concerned, high
convection furnaces have 50 per cent or
higher heating speed compared to radiation
heating furnaces. This means that the temperature increase of 4-millimetre glass just
before its exit is about 1.5C per second,
while with radiation heating furnaces the
increase is just 1C per second. This is why high
convection furnace heating time settings need to
be somewhat more accurate than in radiation
heating furnaces. On the other hand, operations
are easier and more stable than in radiation heating furnaces. Of course, operator skill is always
important to obtain good glass quality.
The fabrication of convection systems is
expensive because all the convection ducting,
nozzle boxes and other material must be high
temperature resistant steel. The best known
standard is the US standard: AISI 310S.
Experiments on lower grade steel have shown
bad failures. The other reason for high costs
regards the hot air blowers and associated electrical and control systems for them. The blowers
of specialized manufacturers are nowadays reliable. Refine Machinery and Feracitas recommend auxiliary drive systems, preferably engine
driven electric aggregate to keep blowers running in the case of power failures. Stopping of
hot air blowers in high temperature can cause
damage to them.
It seems that convection furnace heating
speeds cannot be increased much more from the
present figures even though hot air blowers and
other technologies are improving. The reason is

that convection heats the glass surface only and

the glass temperature difference between top
surface and glass centre would get too high.
Increasing convection air temperature by blowing air through open resistors seems to cause
instability to convection heating and probably
have a bad effect on some coatings. However,
convection furnaces, as they are now available,
are a great technological step ahead.

material can be used in a variety of
applications and irrespective of the type of finishing fulfills individual functions. Modern
insulation glass offers reliable heat insulation and
solar protection, prevents high noise pollution
and also, if required, corresponds to the highest
safety levels. In addition, individual design highlights can also be achieved through the use of
glass. The elementary functions of glass products
in the building shell also include heat insulation.
In view of the increasingly tighter legal requirements placed on architectural heat insulation and
the rising energy prices, in recent decades the
glass industry has been continually further developing its products and has achieved considerable
improvements in efficiency.

INCREASING REQUIREMENTS
The limits of physics can, however, not be
overcome even with the use of perfected glass
formats and highly functional coatings. In the
case of double (insulation) glazing, which has
been used over decades, the limit has already
been reached with a heat transfer co-efficient
(Ug-value) of 1.0 W/m2K. To satisfy the current
heat insulation requirements by law, this value
is absolutely sufficient, but not for future
requirements. According to the European Union
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive EPBD), which came into force in 2010, as early
as January 2021, only nearly zero-energy-
buildings are to be erected in the private construction sector, in other words buildings, which
require almost no external energy supply. For
new buildings, which are used by the authorities
as the owners on an owner-occupier basis, this
requirement will already apply two years earlier. As poorly insulated existing buildings
account for a large part of high building energy
consumption, here too the minimum requirements for heat insulation applying to new buildings have to be satisfied for larger restoration
projects and new extensions.
DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE USE

OF TRIPLE INSULATION GLAZING
In order to fulfill the expected high requirements placed on energy efficiency in buildings,
insulation glazing will also have to achieve even
better results in future. The glass industry is
therefore increasingly relying on triple insulation glazing. With U values of up to 0.5 W/m2K,
in the past this functional glazing was previously mostly fitted in passive housing. In the last
five years sales of high-insulation glazing have,
however, risen dramatically, because when it
comes to glazing, an increasing number of
building owners are relying on high energy efficiency even if their buildings have not reached
the level of passive housing.
According to the German Flat Glass
Manufacturers Association (Bundesverband
Flachglas e.V.), in the period from 2008 to 2011
alone, the share accounted for by triple insulation glazing of total glazing sales in Germany
rose by around 10 per cent to over 50 per cent.
For the current year, the association already
expects a share of around 60 per cent. And the
upward trend will continue further. We are
convinced that the market share will grow to
5/2012

over 90 per cent. This trend is being accelerated

by the forthcoming Energy Savings Ordinance
(Energieeinsparverordnung - EnEV), which will
probably prescribe the use of triple insulation
glazing, explains Dipl.-Oec. Jochen Grnegrs,
Executive Director of the German Flat Glass
Flachglas), and Managing Director of the MultiPane Insulating Glass Quality Association
(Gtegemeinschaft Mehrscheiben-Isolierglas).
Triple glazing in the Scandinavian countries
Sweden and Finland, along with Austria and
Switzerland, has a very high market share and
similar trend perspectives as those in Germany.
In view of the current trend, the specialist world
is in agreement: at least in central and northern
Europe, the triple structure of insulation glazing
is set to become a successive standard.
In parallel with the increase in energy efficiency in the residential as well as commercial
construction sector, the trend towards ever larger glass units is continuing. Architects and
building owners want to have an open room
ambience for their buildings, with the maximum
amount of daylight incidence and highest
degree of external views. In winter the glazing
should also ensure solar energy generation.
HIGHER GLASS PANE WEIGHT

Both current trends basically present no
problem for insulation glazing manufacturers.
The know-how and technology involved in the
manufacture of corresponding products are
available. The problematic nature of climatic
burdens (suction and pressure effect on glass
panes and the edge seal), which is increasingly
a feature of triple insulation glazing due to the
larger inter-pane volume, can be overcome.
What is problematic, however, is the increasing

weight of the glass panes. By comparison: a glass pane measuring one

square meter, designed as double insulation glazing with 2 x 4 millimetres and 16 millimetres inter-pane gap, weighs 20 kilograms.
The same format as triple insulation glazing in
the 4/12/4/12/4 format already weighs 30 kilos.
The increase in weight by 50 per cent has farreaching consequences. The insulation glazing
manufacturers must gear their in-house processes to the heavy glass panes, while transportation
becomes more expensive because the maximum
loading capacity for trucks is already reached
with fewer units and the fittings manufacturers
have to deliver extremely durable solutions.
In the window sector, this presents a special
challenge, because in this area the aim is to
develop high-load bearing fittings which can
reliably hold the heavy elements in place over
decades, whilst at the same time conveying a filigree impression. Even at this stage, fittings systems are already reaching their limits in this balancing act between requirements. On top of this,
the frame profiles for facades and windows also
have to be adjusted to take the high weights.
The installation and fitting teams are particularly affected by the increased weight of the
construction elements. For them the trend
towards triple insulation glazing means a considerably increased burden. The weight is
enormous. Particularly in old buildings when no
technical aids can be used, the burden is striking
and personnel are clearly called upon much
more than before, reports Martin Gutmann,
Master of the Federal Glazers Guild, who goes

on to say: If you are unlucky, you also have to

do with triple sound-proof or burglary-proof
glazing, then the weight of the glass panes is
even higher. The situation is also made more
difficult by the increased weight of the thermally optimized frame profiles.
THIN GLASS AS A SOLUTION CONCEPT

In view of this extensive problem area, the
glass industry, insulation glazing manufacturers
and research institutes are working intensively
on solutions. Their aim is to reduce glass pane
weight without cutting down on its energetic
functionality. The development of light, highinsulation vacuum glass, which has been ongoing for years now, has still not really moved
forward sufficiently for it to be used in classic
window and faade construction. However, use
of the very thin glass panes is already practical
in flat roof-top windows in standard sizes. A
further possible solution is light, transparent
synthetic film and plates, which are aimed at
replacing the central pane in insulation glazing.
Whether this technology will assert itself on a
broad front depends on the practicality and
durability of the products as well as on their
acceptance by the end-users. The application of
thin glass appears to be the most potentially successful. As early as 2004, architect Prof. Stefan
Behling, who for some years now has been presenting the latest trends and developments from
the glass industry in the glass technology live

special show, part of the leading international

glass trade fair glasstec, declared: In the flatscreen sector, thin glass is becoming part of a
revolution. At some stage perhaps whole walls,
ceilings and floors will be able to change. In
the area of entertainment and communication
electronics, his forecast relating to modern
smartphones and also products such as Apples
iPad, which are almost exclusively operated
using thin glass touch-screens, has long since
become reality. In addition, the current development tendencies on the insulation glass market
confirm that Stefan Behling is right with his
expectation for the architecture sector. Today,
windows incorporating triple insulation glazing
are already available on the market, and are no
longer produced using triple 4-millimetre, but
triple 3-millimetre-thick heat-treated glass
panes. This means a weight reduction of one
quarter. And even thinner glass is possible. In
the insulation glass sector, industry tests are
already underway using hardened glass in the
3/2/3-millimetre format. Machine manufacturer
Lisec recently received the 2012 Austrian State
Prize in the Research and Innovation category in recognition of its special pre-stress technology. It enables the manufacture of flexible
and robust glass in a thickness of only 2 millimetres without optical distortions. According
to the company, the light thin glass is outstandingly suited for use in modern architecture.
When it comes to the thin glass used in insula-

tion glass theme, critics point the increased breakage risk of the thinner glass panes. Their objection: although the glass is lighter through the
reduced thickness of the individual planes, at the
same time edge breakage risk is increased. The
supporters of thin glass in contrast point to the
higher durability of the thermally hardened glass.
JOINT RESEARCH PROJECT

In order to explore the possibilities of weight
reduction in multi-pane insulation glazing on a
well-founded, secure basis, the renowned
Rosenheim Institute of Window Technology
(Institut fr Fenstertechnik - ift Rosenheim), in
cooperation with the German Flat Glass
Flachglas), has launched the Energy-efficient
multi-pane insulation glass Investigations into
technical measures aimed at the reduction of
glass pane weight project. The aim of the project is to investigate which measures can be
used to reduce the surface weight of multi-pane
(insulation) glass and the effects resulting from
this. Dipl.-Phys. Norbert Sack, Head of Research
and Development at the ift and project director,
explains in this connection: a reduction in the
surface weight of triple insulation glazing is
desirable and would in principle be possible
through the use of thinner glass or transparent
plastics. Thinner glass could be used in all three
levels, i.e. on the outside, the room side as well as
the central pane of triple insulation glazing. He
said that within the framework of the project,
however, no general investigation of all the principle factors was possible. On the contrary, decision-making bases for an assessment and future
implementation should be developed. BF
Executive Director Jochen Grnegrs adds: We
have included an assessment programme especially for 3 x 3 millimetres format insulation
glass in the project in order to increase awareness
for this theme. If the calculation bases are taken
into account, it is definitely possible to manufacture insulation glass in the 3 x 3 format.
In view of the relevant heat insulation (Ugvalue), total energy transmission (g-value) and
translucence (V) values, insulation glass using
thin glass comes closest to matching the values
of conventional triple insulation glass. And in
the area of sound-proofing too, the integration
of sound-proof film or varying glass thicknesses ensures a high level of protection. The solu-

fair for the glass sector will be held from 23 to
26 October 2012 in Dsseldorf. In addition to
the broad range of construction glass, glasstec
will also provide a comprehensive overview of
the latest production and finishing technologies
along with the entire spectrum of glass applications. While the trade world is still conducting
an intensive discussion on the advantages and
disadvantages of using thinner glass, individual
insulation glass manufacturers are pressing
ahead in the competition for optimized insulation values. Even at this stage, on the Internet
you can find references to quadruple insulation
glazing, which, with 3-millimetre-thick glass,
is designed to deliver an Ug-value of 0.3
W/m2K. A questionable development, because
this format brings us back to the starting problem once again. The quadruple pane is just as
heavy as todays conventional triple glass with
standard format.
THIN GLASS IN PHOTOVOLTAICS

In the solar energy sector too pre-stressed
thin glass is already being used to reduce the
weight of glass-glass modules. According to
manufacturers, the life cycle of these modules is
clearly higher than those modules based on film
laminates. In addition, due to the higher
mechanical rigidness, we can forego the enclosing aluminium frame. As a result, the thin glass
modules are also suitable for the increasingly
significant building-integrated installation of
photovoltaic elements.

This 14th exhibition, which
carries the logos of UFI
the Global Association of
the Exhibition Industry, and
RUEF the Russian Union
of Exhibitions and Fairs, and
is held under the auspices of
the Chamber of Commerce
and Industry of the Russian
Federation and the Moscow
City Government.
According
to
Yury
Gnedovsky, the Honorary
President of the Russian
Union of Architects, glass
has become a symbol of the
development of modern
architecture, and such significant number of participating companies testifies
to the fact that this field is
developing and still attracts
a lot of attention. The Mir
Stekla exhibition actively
promotes the development
of the construction market,
the attraction of investments in the domestic glass
production and the establishment of economic rela-
tions between manufacturers of glass, architects

and builders.
The thematic structure of the exhibition will
enable visitors to see the main trends of the
global glass industry, to estimate both innovations and human imagination and artistic ideas,
embodied in the versatile material glass.
The Mir Stekla exhibition is a platform for professional communication, effective cooperation
between manufacturers of glass products,
investors, architects, designers and builders. The
beneficial impact of such communication and
business contacts has significantly resulted in
the growth of the quality of products and services offered on the glass market.

engaged in research and development
to continue to offer its customers the best
in terms of quality of its products.
The company, will, at glasstec, have
on show its new line of cup wheels for
the straighline polishing of edges, and
double-edger machines.
The new range of wheels, Smart S,
has a special bond able to work with
high working pressure and temperatureresistance.
Another important feature is to have
more cutting and abrasive power to polish all types of glass with particular performances on laminated and high thickness glass.
Available, as always, in different grit
sizes of 40, 60, 80 and 120.
New line of cup polishing wheels
Another important step for the company is the new cerium cup wheel, SMART
PLUS S, with a special bond more per
formant in terms of quality and life on
straight line and double-edged
machines.
This cup wheel has a new bond and
plate able to achieve brilliant polishing
at both 1400 and 2800 RPM with lower
working pressure and longer life of the
tool.
At glasstec, Abratech, will also keep
on promoting its full line of the wellknown cup polishing wheels for arris,
Smart 400 and Smart 280; its line of
low-E wheels and the new bond Mito for
the small internal radius which is having
a lot of success; the production of special suction cups.

glass non-stop for the four exhibition days, in order to
show visitors the quality we can offer. In detail: four
straight-line edging machines, one double-edger, one
straight-line bevelling machine and one corner grinding
machine.
Among the straight-line edging machines, core-business of our production, there will be our TLR 13 AV C,

with arrisses and mitres, equipped with a device for the
processing of parallelograms in inclined position, a
washing machine fitted on the outlet conveyor, front
regulation of the rear arrisses, clock for the regulation

of the front diamond arris, brakes on the polishing
arrisses spindles pistons, ultrasonic glass presence sensor and panel for the management of statistics, maintenance activities and machine alarms.
The double-edger will be a 10-wheel model, BETA 10,
with a maximum opening of 3,000mm, equipped with a
touch-screen operator panel, adjustable control panels at
the glass entrance side allowing to manage the processing standing still in the glass loading area, possibility to
change the wheels from the machines external side, no
need of power zero at start-up: the machine is always

Exciting IT products at glasstec

2012: A+W presents a completely
new software generation
Surely everyone has now and then
been dreaming of having his
working environment available
anywhere, anytime, and on any device imaginable. With this new product generation, A+W offers many
function for the use in the office and
on the shop floor as web applications - with ergonomic design and
intuitive operation. The terminal in
question only requires an Internet
browser, but no additional installation. Highlight of this new product
generation: A+W ENTERPRISE, the
big A+W ERP solution for groups of
companies and corporations, as
HTML 5 Web application.
The benefits not only comprise
mobile working and direct access to
the system for branches and agents.
According to A+W managing director Uwe Schmid, using the in-house
browser solution saves a lot of time
and money thanks to a significantly
reduced workload regarding installations, updates, and any type of system maintenance. A+W will present
the first browser-based applications
at glasstec 2012 and, according to
Uwe Schmid, nearly all products of
A+W will soon be available as web
applications.
Brand-new ERP System: A+W

Business
Dragonfly is the name of a fascinating project which has heralded the
start of a completely new product
generation at A+W. The first pilot
installations have turned Dragonfly
into the product A+W Business, the
new ERP solution for medium-sized
flat glass processors and IG producers. The core question for the A+W
team while developing this system
was: How can we support our customers in working faster, more elegantly, more target-oriented, and generally more productively? The result is
impressive: Ergonomics, transparency, and user-friendliness have been
improved considerably while the look
and feel has been closely adapted to
the present Windows environment.
A+W Business 5 comes as a multidialogue application, i.e. several dialogues such as order dialogues plus
master data dialogues can be
opened and edited at the same time;
menus and dialogues can be positioned at random, and dialogue sizes
can be adjusted by just a mouse-click.
Many of the functions are operated
by drag+drop as is the custom in
other standard applications. The new
editor offers more formatting options,
and report functions have been considerably improved.
Perfect clarity: A+W Production

Cockpit
What with the vast number of technologies and simultaneously run
processes, production and shift managers have to keep track of a multitude of parameters. Customers have
often voiced their desire for a control
station which bundles the mass of
information be it from barcode registration or from the analysis of
machine-oriented, electronic elements
and permits real-time evaluation as
well as systematic monitoring.
The answer is A+W Production
Cockpit, which compiles all information and makes it available to the production manager real-time. For all
sections of complex production such as
cutting/sorting, IG lines, edgework,
screen printing, as well as tempered
and laminated glass production, productivity ratios and machine status
(ready for operation, maintenance,
etc.) are visualized through instinctively
recognizable, graphic elements (diagrams, traffic lights, speedometer). The
production manager configures the
individual control stations based on the
ongoing and perhaps critical processes, sorts the information and decides
about the necessary steps. Bottlenecks,
operating errors, and technical problems are detected early on and can be
analyzed and corrected.
A+W staff will be
available to discuss
these new highlights at
the companys stand at

Moving into the future with high speed

solutions
At this years glasstec/solarpeq trade fair
Bystronic glass is further emphasising its preferred partner cooperation with Hegla. In
fact, the Bystronic glass stand, located in Hall
14 and measuring over 1,000 sq.m. is situated directly next to that of Hegla.
Consequently, customers, where necessary,
will be able to conduct joint talks comfortably
with experts from both companies.
Bystronic glass is using its exhibition space
to present high-speed solutions for glass processing in the architectural and automotive
glass sectors as well as to present innovative
solutions for the solar industry. Moderated live
presentations of the machines will take place
several times a day, offering visitors deeper
insights into the fascinating technologies.
New benchmark in triple I.G. production
The new speedline for the production of
insulating glass will stretch along the entire
length of one side of the stand. In addition
there will be the speedsealer, the quick sealing robot that has already been introduced
onto the market. This modern production line
also includes machinery that allows for the
production of triple I.G. units with the fastest
possible cycle time: two tpsapplicator components that are arranged one after the other
for the application of TPS (Thermo Plastic
Spacer) and the speedassembler, the new
press for the quick assembly and gas filling of
triple insulating glass units.
Proven, revolutionary technologies
In the laminated glass production sector,
customers can obtain information about the
ecolamiline, the new production line, which
enables all versions of laminated glass to be
produced in an energy-efficient manner
from simple constructions through to complex
shaped formats with special films all on a

single system. The ecoconvect, the pre-nip
system that is proven and continues to be revolutionary, will be on display at the stand. The
integrated, innovative technology enables a
homogeneous heat input that is evident in the
quality of the end product. And the eco part
of the product name has not been given by
chance: the radiant heater technology of the
pre-nip controls the energy consumption to
match the size of the laminate, meaning that
a small laminate only requires half of the radiant heater output by comparison to a large
laminate for example. The convection system
also ensures homogeneous heating in the prenip, therefore allowing the rational lamination
of highly reflective, coated glasses. The omission of compressed air in the clean room of
the compared to servo technology, which is
seven times less expensive and offers further
benefits in relation to the environment.
Glass handling take it easy
In addition to the insulating glass line and
the laminated glass pre-nip, customers will
also be able to try out a selection of rational
handling equipment for all flat glass and plate
processing sectors for themselves. This also
includes the best seller, the Easy-Lift, which
has converted customers in the glass processing industry with its rigid guidance and its
low own weight since 1998. In recent years,
the handling equipment has also gradually
won over large window manufacturers with
the flexibility of the frame design and how it
can fulfil their requirements.
Quick and precise grinding of automotive
glass
In the form of the champspeed, Bystronic
glass has introduced a completely new
machine generation for the preprocessing of
automotive glass onto the market. It is now
also available in the champspeed 2in1 version, the first machine in the world that can
break automotive glass with or without a template on one single machine. In addition to
templates that support the glass during the cutting process and ensure a correspondingly
high quality of the break edge, the champspeed 2in1 is equipped with a freely
manoeuvrable underlay that aligns itself to the
break edges. Customers obtain both functions
in one cell and can flexibly switch between
breaking with or without a template. This provides the opportunity to deploy the machine
according to their requirements or orders as
well as to optimize their production processes
at the same time.
Cost reductions in module production with
TPedge
The TPedge module makes an innovative
leap into the production of solar modules and
will also be on display at the Bystronic glass
stand. It is a joint development by Fraunhofer
ISE in Freiburg and the Bystronic glass Group
on the basis of a Fraunhofer patent. Waferbased solar modules can be produced much
quicker and much more inexpensively than
standard wafer modules. Time and cost savings are a consequence of a simplified modular structure and a completely innovative
production technology.
Service wherever our customers need us
Right from the very first minute, Bystronic
glass supports its customers during the project
planning. The customer service department is
then on hand all over the world for the delivery of spare parts and on-site support.
Maintenance contracts and individual training sessions round off the range of services
on offer. The expert contact partners will be
on hand at the glasstec stand to provide information regarding the Bystronic glass service.

Vertical processing,
our distinctive feature
At glasstec 2012, For.El. is presenting its most recent innovations
that enable to process glass sheets
vertically guaranteeing: high productivity, extreme automation and
improved logistics.
GFC - Gas Filling

Conveyor
An important step forward in running glassworks: with vertical glass working, processes and work safety for operators
is improved, thus speeding up production.
We have designed cutting solutions that have revolutionized glass processing: the glass sheet is transported to the
glassworks and is stored vertically on racks (automated stock
selector), the type of glass to be processed is automatically
selected and loaded onto the vertical cutting table, which cuts the glass to size ready for further processing.
Continuing with vertical processing, we can also include other processed to be carried out on the
edges of the glass sheets, such as the removal (de-coating) of low-E glass to guarantee the adhesion of
sealants during IG unit assembly phases (edge trimming) as well as high-speed and quality arrissing, grinding and polishing of the glass, bringing it to the needed size without damaging the low-E coating.
GM - Vertical Arrissing and Grinding Machine
With regards to insulating glass, For.El. has on show its range of

machines for the vertical assembly of IG units: automatic washing and
drying, automatic and in-line quality control, automatic positioning of
flexible spacers together with butyl sealant, or manual positioning for
rigid profiles (aluminium or steel/plastic), with high-speed filling of the
cavity with insulating gas (argon/krypton) combined with pressing
and, last but not least, secondary edge sealing of double-, triple- and
structural glazing.
For.El. designs, develops, produces, and patents its machinery at its
premises in Treviso, north-east Italy. This localization ensures the highest level of quality, enabling the company to directly control all phases
of the project from the very first designs right up to post-sales service.
For.El.s goal is, and has always been the same: complete customer satisfaction.
At glasstec 2012, and on an exhibition area of about 1,000 sq.m.,
visitors will have the possibility of seeing different lines carrying out
simulated production, and can meet our commercial and technical staff
to find out about For.El. and its philosophy.

Reaching the extremes in heat treatment
Whether you want to develop into extremely thick or thin
glass applications, Glaston is ready with the solutions that
can temper glass down to 2mm or heat strengthen glass up
to 19mm, a world record. Glastons newly developed
GlastonAir air flotation technology for extremely thin glass
is a flexible concept that allows glass to be tempered to
norms comparable to the 3mm EN standard, also in terms of
fragmentation. The concept can be applied to any new or
existing continuous tempering furnace production line.
GlastonAir offers the opportunity to create a new standard
wherever excellent optical quality is needed for 2-4mm glass.
This includes tempering 2mm glass with a surface stress of
over 120 MPa or heat strengthening with a surface stress of

Grenzebach presents new control

architecture and new stacker generation
At this years glasstec the Grenzebach
glass equipment specialists again live up
to their reputation as high tech innovators. In addition to their entire portfolio
for float glass, thin glass and solar glass
business, Grenzebach is presenting the
latest standard setting product innovations. Particularly the new modular
control concept and the new direct
drive stacker generation should be the
main focus of the trade and business visitors interest.
With the new modular control system
architecture the Grenzebach specialists
are ultimately saying good-bye to the
well-known and widely dreaded
spaghetti code. The result is impressive. The new control system opens up
entirely new possibilities for virtual system diagnostics and commissioning
and at the same time reduces the time
required for upkeep, maintenance and

development significantly.
The new directly driven Grenzebach
stacker generation is very exciting as
well. It offers a previously unavailable
flexibility and performance when it
comes to cycle time, maximum load, and
plate size.
For Martin Strb, Head of the
Grenzebach Business Unit Glass, both are
perfect examples for the Quality and
Output motto, which the Hamlar based
specialists used as their concept for this
years exhibition. We want to show our
visitors that Grenzebach equipment offers
the most value for their money. And of
growing importance in this context is the
total package. Strb is convinced that the
glass equipment specialists are well positioned With over 40 years experience in
glass equipment engineering, innovative
high tech solutions, worldwide manufacturing locations close to our customers, as well
as after sales service around the clock, our

equipment guarantees both to our customers, top quality and peak output rates.
At the trade show booth, the glass
equipment specialists present their product portfolio for float glass, display glass,
conventional photovoltaics, CPV, CSP
and the inspection system markets. Here
again the focus is on customer orientation and satisfaction. We look forward
to our visitors and want them to feel comfortable at our booth. Accordingly, the
booth is designed generously, with a

Cutting solutions for float glass and laminated safety glass
The centrepiece of the trade-show booth is a two-line
cutting solution for float glass and laminated glass,
which is jointly fed by a compact loader. As a part of this
configuration, visitors will be able to see two ReMaster
units in real-time operation, which optimize the cutting
results. The buffer stores the residual glass above the cutting system until this material can be optimally used for
the next cutting operation. By performing this process,
the ReMaster unit not only significantly reduces waste
glass, it also reduces manual handling by automatically
retrieving and loading residual sheets, explains
Managing Director Manfred Vollbracht.
stores the sheets, processed in a chaotic,

cut optimizing sequence, in its buffer and
retains them until all the glass required
by an IG unit is available. The output
shuttle of the SortJet then transfers the correctly sequenced glass to the next processing station for example an insulated glass line. Dynamic intermediate
glass storage eliminates manual sorting.
This task is performed by the SortJet, permitting continuous production flow for
cutting operations and the IG line,
explains Vollbracht.
Coater periphery
For coater periphery applications, Hegla will exhibit
two under-floor stackers, which retrieve entire glass
panes in the shortest possible cycle time from the floatliner racks, change them into the horizontal production
orientation, and automatically restack the sheets from
the line onto the racks.
Compact float glass cutting line
As an example of a compact LES cutting line for float
glass, Hegla will present a combination of an automatic shop-floor loader, including direct retrieval from the
glass rack, an Optimax cutting system for model and
straight cuts and a break-out table. This can be further
optimized with a laser marking system.
Automation/Robotics
Two robots will be on show from the
automation/robotics field. These employ the pick on
the fly process to load and retrieve coated/uncoated
glass synchronously to the transport conveyor, without
interrupting operations.
According to Hegla, further cost reduction potential can

be leveraged with the SortJet at the end of the float line. It

After the radical restyling carried out last year on its IDRO RO water demineralization plants, this year, the
already wide range of products also includes three new models with capacity of from 1750 to 2250 l/h.
Compared to the previous models, these new machines feature:
- smaller dimensions about
40% less;
- FlexFlux! System that enables
the automatic flushing of the
membrane at every stop of the
machine;
- the plants are completely
installed on a single and strong
stainless steel skid, thus simplifying installation even further;
- lower energy consumption
between 40 and 48%!
In consideration of their production capacity, these machines are
destined for installation on large
washing machines, or in centralized circuits, and therefore to be
used with more than one washing

The research, development and experience gained in the years, allowed us to present a new generation of autoclaves, suitable to work any type of glass (float, tempered, low emission, translucent, etc.) both with PVB and with EVA.
In the research more and more aimed to saving to optimize investments, we designed a new line of autoclaves
that can stratify and later on make the HST test (Heat Soak Test) with cycles completely in automatic mode.
This new series of machines, thanks to the solutions of thermal insulation adopted (insulations with nano-technologic
materials) and much performing control systems, allow an
energy saving up to 70% compared to the standard autoclaves being in the market now.
Our policy, which until now rewarded us, was to assure to
our customers results in terms of performance, quality and saving, therefore of optimization of the investments, in the aim to
supply a reliable product in time (over 70 plants sold all over
the world).
At our production sites, we can make autoclaves with sizes
from diameters of 1 meter up to 5 meters with length up to
20 meters and over. The raw materials employed, the manufacturing procedure, tests and the continuous monitoring
of manufacturing activities, allow us to assure to our customers the best quality and completely safety in use of the

LiSEC Glass Processing Machinery: All From One

LiSEC, your single source, will present itself at glasstec 2012. LiSEC will showcase new technologies in glass
sorting and cutting, insulating glass production and sealing, laminated glass production, and flat glass processing over a total display area of 2,600 sq.m. (30,000 sq.ft). LiSEC will also once again demonstrate its technological expertise with its all-new FlyOver concept, which will revolutionize remnant plate handling.
A revolution in remnant plate handling and efficient glass cutting
The LiSEC FlyOver is a revolution in remnant plate handling and efficient glass cutting. The intelligent one-row
design of the suction bridge allows it to move diagonally above the entire glass storage area when no glass is
being transported. In this way, the bridge will automatically follow the shortest path to the next storage rack,
which minimizes cycle times and keeps cutting machines working at full capacity. This LiSEC innovation offers a
revolutionary advantage, besides the significant time savings achieved: The FlyOver renders costly remnant plate
storage systems obsolete by transporting remnants back to the glass storage area and using the storage racks as
remnant plate racks.
Complete insulating glass production
LiSEC will also exhibit high-end insulating glass machines and solutions for the complete flat glass processing
cycle. All of these systems are easy to operate and offer the highest manufacturing quality. Optimized cycle
times, as well as the capability to meet all requirements of a wide
range of products are a matter of course. Additionally, LiSEC will
introduce an improved system at glasstec, which significantly
enhances the sealing process, particularly in the corners of insulating glass units.
glasstec 2012 An important industry get-together in October
Especially in times like these when companies are reluctant to
invest, cost-optimized products that are in line with market requirements are an absolute must. As the worldwide leading trade show
in the flat glass industry, glasstec is the perfect venue to discover
the latest developments and future-proof technologies. LiSEC is continuously developing new products and always strives to meet and
exceed the product-related and economic requirements of the market. Furthermore, LiSEC offers a high-tech product for the laminated glass field: an improved washing machine, especially for highly sensitive coatings, and a redesigned pre-laminating system guarantee great accuracy in the laminated glass process and a competitive choice for all glass companies.
The shortest path to the next glass sheet: LiSEC FlyOver

LAMMIFLEX 1500 laminating plant

for glass with PVB and EVA: at extremely convenient conditions
The furnace is made up of a heating
chamber with five independent shelves
for the positioning of glass with different thicknesses, as well as curved glass.
Loading and unloading of the glass
are carried out by removing the shelves
using a hydraulic platform. In alternative, there is also the possibility of a
warehouse structure for five more
shelves so as to optimize loading and
unloading of glass and, consequently,
increasing productivity.
A double oil pump to create a vacuum environment is integral part of the
system, which is connected to the silicon bags of each independent shelf,

made of high-temperature resistant silicon tubes and attachments to create the
vacuum needed for the lamination of
glass, as well as to create a vacuum
inside the chamber of the furnace.
Inside the heating chamber, the heating cycle takes place by means of hot
air convection, enabling the uniform
distribution of hot air all around the
chamber and all over the surface of the
glass sheets.
This plant is the only furnace on the
market that enables to laminate glass
with PVB without the need of autoclaves
and climatic chambers.

RESTORE SYSTEM FOR SINGLE

GLASS PANES STORAGE
The latest product of Officine
Mistrello is the Re-Store storage system for single glass panes.
Re-store is used to automatically
recover remnant glass coming from
cutting optimization, but could also
be used to accumulate glass panes in
jumbo sizes 6,000 x 3,210mm or
half size 3,210 x 2,600mm, before
the cutting process (like a buffer) in
order to eliminate stopping production during loading of the glass onto
the storage racks (like classifiers).
The Re-store storage system for single glass panes is modular, with a
minimum of 10 positions. Each position can accept one or more glass
sheets starting from a minimum size
of 1,000 x 1,000mm. Obviously, the
number of storable glass sheets
depends on the machine length.
Length can be adapted to customers available plant space or specific requirements. Re-store can be
directly integrated with the cutting
optimizer.
In this way, the cutting table communicates with the Re-store, while the
loading and unloading process is
carried out automatically without the
need for operator intervention.

Improving performance and flexibility of production systems:

this is and has always been the main aim of Optima. And to
give a concrete response to these market needs, at glasstec,
Optima is presenting its new software, specifically dedicated
to production environments Re-Opt.
This solution is able to manage all situations connected to
the recovery of items quickly and efficiently, enabling operators to intervene directly on the work orders. No more downtimes, no waiting for the office to provide the necessary documentation, more responsibility for production personnel.
With this innovative system, businessmen of glassworks can
have important and sure results:
1. integration between cutting tables and company ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning), with consequent simplification of cutting operations, increased productivity, and
reduction of possible errors;
2. reduction in delivery times and complaints because the
recovery of breakages and/or defects can take place in
less time;
3. higher flexibility in the management of the cutting table with
regards to cutting sequences thanks to the storage of glass
sheet movement, which enables partial interruption and
start-up of the cutting table;
4. real-time information of the different stages of cutting operations;
5. printing of necessary technical documents regarding the
glass being processed (worksheets, labels, etc.);
6. traceability of the glass being processed and of raw material with regards to quality control;
7. choice of automatic collection of processing times.
Re-Opt can also be equipped with Line Manager functions,
providing the cutting table operator with a real control console
for the different processing phases. From this position, the
operator can interact with each work order, deciding which to
do first and priorities, which to stop so as to manage urgencies
or unplanned machine stoppages, what to start working on
again, all connected closely to the cutting table (and, where
present, with automatic glass sheet storage).
Alongside the innovations regarding ERP, at glasstec,
Optima is presenting other important and new solutions:
the 7.2 version of Opty-Way, with the new and even more
powerful algorithms;
Optistrato the first and only system in the world able to
automate laminated glass work cycles;
Cad-Way, the powerful 2D drawing system, now compatible with DXF e DWG formats in the 2011 version.
Attention to end users and direct contact with technology

Meet our specialists and solve your glazing problems.

At this years glasstec Pannkokes

main focus of product presentation
will be, once again, on the field of
vacuum lifting equipment. We are presenting new and advanced devices
not only for extraordinary customer
wishes and requirements in respect to
vacuum lifting device needs in the
most demanding and extreme building situations, but also for standard
glazing work and a wide range of
handling equipment for various inhouse production areas.
We are introducing our new concept behind the arrangement of suction cups on the 7411-DSG7 for moving heavy, concave panes of glass.
With the 7411-DSG7, panes with up
to 630kg can be lifted with a radius
of at least 750mm. The 7411-DSG7
has four independent vacuum circuits
and a quick-change system for standard
rechargeable
batteries,
enabling non-stop working. While
you work using one battery, you can
charge the other one. They can be
changed in next to no time.
Our 7411-DS7Z, a compact fourcircuit device, can lift up to 750kg

with just 8 488-K suction cups. The
new PANNKOKE 488-K suction
cup, having the same proven,
excellent loading capacity, is especially suitable for thin glass from
thicknesses of 3mm. The unique
gear rack adjustment, which is no
problem to operate even in the
case of larger panes thanks to the
cable principle, allows pivoting
with fine locking.
The KOMBI 7441-DS3, an
advanced development of the familiar KOMBI 7211-DS3, is also a
four-circuit device. The advantage:
fewer suction cups with a high level
of security, resulting in lower maintenance costs and quicker handling. Up to 1,000kg can be pivoted with the 7441-DS3 using a
hydraulic cylinder; the rotary movement is carried out manually.
The affordable 7211-V250 is for
vertical transport of windows or
panes. It can easily be dismantled
for transport, and has simple adjustment of suction cup spacing lengthwise and widthwise. A truly simple
device when you just want to lift elements weighing up to 250kg. This
device also has a new quickchange battery system.
We are also introducing the small
7005-DS4-2/E venturi device, suitable for lifting glass weighing up to
250kg (also for horizontal glazing
in the version shown).
Our glass cutting technology
products range from simple manual
guided to semi-automatic cutting
machines with digital dimension
display, and on to modern CNC
controlled cutting machines. For
affordable cutting of many large
glass sheets of the same size we
deliver two-bridged cutting tables.
Cutting and tilting tables as well as
3-ply-laminated glass cutting
machines and any conceivable
combination of loading, cutting and
break-out tables round off our
diverse product line.

Pomdi launches 3NEO its revolutionary new technology that will change the way companies use and buy
glass-working diamond grinding wheels and tools
Imagine that if every time a worn tyre had to be replaced on a
car, it was necessary to buy a whole new wheel as well. Not only
TOTAL EXCHANGE TIME 2 MINUTES would it be hugely expensive, it would also be hugely wasteful.
Fortunately, it was soon realized that since the wheel rim would be
less likely to require changing, it would be cheaper and less wasteful to
separate the two components and only replace the worn part the tyre.
Pomdi has reached the same conclusion when it comes to diamond grinding wheels and tools.
After all, whats the point of throwing away the whole diamond
cup grinding wheel when only the diamond surface is worn out?
If the shank attached to the diamond surface does not wear and
can be reused, why not use it again? Why not replace just the worn
part, and so reduce both cost and waste? This is the idea behind
Easily remove ring
3NEO, a new technology invented, developed and recently
launched by Pomdi as part of the Q-LEAN project to eliminate
waste and lower costs.
Pomdis 3NEO technology means it is only necessary to replace the
worn diamond surface, helping minimize operating costs.
3NEO not only lowers overheads, it also raises productivity, as
it makes changeover times 15 times faster than with conventional
tools. Moreover, other than cutting costs and changeover times,
Pomdis 3NEO technology also means only one fiftieth of the stock
Clean surface
needs to be kept at the company.
3NEOs sophisticated patented locking system holds the shank and
diamond ring securely in place whilst in use, but enables to detach
them with a simple click when the worn ring needs replacing.
Pomdis 3NEO diamond rings are universal and fit any machine,
enabling glassmakers to stock only those in their usual range of grain
sizes and types and not a selection of complete tools. With Pomdis
new 3NEO technology, any grinding ring can be attached to any
shank.
Pomdis new and revolutionary 3NEO technology can help:
Click-on new ring
reduce stocks, as the manufacturer or distributor can supply
replacements within 24 hours;
reduce costs by only replacing the worn diamond ring, not the
whole tool;
reduce costs by cutting changeover times when the diamond ring
needs replacing.
Pomdis 3NEO technology enables glassmakers and processors
be part of the revolution sweeping the flat-glass diamond grinding
wheel and tool sector.

Glass industry
Accurate measurements are very important in the glass industry to avoid expensive waste. Traditional methods imply a
great loss of time, effort and often precision. Large amounts of cut glass for windshields are frequently wasted due to inaccurate measurements.
Prodim Unfold 2012
Prodims dedication to the glass
industry has resulted in the improved
Prodim Unfold 2012 solution for glassmakers of bent glass, dealing with
windshields for the automotive and
naval industries. This software easily
translates 3D drawings into 2D unfolded shapes.
Digital templates can be created from
windshield prototypes as well as directly from frames; hard templates are no
longer necessary.
From 3D to 2D in one click
After measurement, the Unfold software directly calculates the 2D unfolded shape from a 3D drawing. It reads
.DXF. Then a 2D contour is calculated
with consideration of the material characteristics.
With the improved
unfold software it
is now possible
to create and
save 3D models (IGES) for Quality

Control; compare with the original
mathematics or between copies. You
can also use the Proliner output to
design molds in your CAD software.
Ready for being cut
As a control check, the software contains a FEM analysis, which determines
that the bending is not carried out
beyond the elasticity limit. The user can
print a report in which the results of the
calculations are listed.
The user can also use the Unfold software to flatten double curved shapes
(DXF) for cutting. After cutting by CNCmachine, Waterjet or manual: the glass
is ready for the oven.
An easy and fast way
With the Prodim Unfold software the
time consuming and inaccurate traditional way of measuring belongs to the past.
Combining the Proliner and the Unfold
you have the capabilities to digitize 3D
shapes and at the same time easily get
the flat development, all at once.

PUJOL 100 System

"The end of Autoclaves"
The only system in the market
with allows you to laminate directly
PVB without using climate chambers, dehumidifiers or calandres.
The furnace is designed for PVB
& EVA processing of laminated
glass, which, compared with old
traditional technology using autoclave systems, does not required
special storage chambers or processing rooms, or climatic and
dehumidifier installations and conditions. As a consequence, significant cost reductions in terms of
energy efficiency and final processing costs of PVB laminated glass
are achieved.
The new Pujol 100 system provides laminated glass processors
high flexibility for the adaptation of
production runs, orders and busi-
ness opportunities regarding the

existing demands of the market,
thanks to the availability of fast firing cycles, with or without heavy
loads, adjusting low energy consumptions as per the glass to be
processed, and even the possibility
of combining PVB processes or EVA
processes easily.
Reduction of the initial investment
Without homologation projects
or potential increasing installed
due to its low consumption
Without explosion risk nor costs
decennial revisions for pressure
testing
Production: between 8-12
tons/day of PVB
Flexibility production due to
combining rapid cycles of EVA
and PVB
The new Pujol 100 system is

accompanied by the first automated
horizontal assembly line for laminated glass.
The assembly line, with the new
development of Pujol 100, does not
need to be located in a chamber
with dehumidifier or climate control. The line is designed to maximize production and reduce the
costs of preparing laminated glass.

James Tang Managing Director Shanghai Refine Machinery Co. Ltd.

Feracitas/Risto Nikander and Shanghai Refine Machinery

Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement in 2011, which
added Feracitas patented high convection furnaces to Refines
radiation heating furnace range.
The development
was quick, because
Refine used its own
proven furnace technology and only included Feracitas convection system in
Refines furnace design. The convection process efficiency
and quality is proven by the heating speed which is about 28
seconds/mm of glass thickness for clear glass. This also means
that Smart Cycle has extremely good capability even for the
lowest emissivity glasses. Smart Cycle has two features, which
make operation easy:
- top convection automatically distributes hotter convection
air into the areas needed; and
- patented roller temperature stabilization system, which, in
addition, saves energy compared to other good bottom
heating systems.
The very high capacity of Smart Cycle also offers savings in
labour and energy costs. Maybe even more important are
higher yields and glass quality.
Six deliveries have been made in less than 10 months, all so
far in P.R. China. Export sales promotions have also been
started recently.
Feracitas/Risto Nikander has also patented bending and
tempering inventions and extensive know how for economic
high quality gravity bending and tempering since 1989.
Feracitas has full rights for all this know how. This, combined
with the Smart Cycle furnace and team of specialists, offers an
extremely good combination also to offer press bending and
tempering furnaces with the highest economy and quality.
Feracitas and Shanghai Refine Machinery Co., Ltd. can
offer radiation heating and Smart Cycle high convection furnaces for flat glass tempering, cylindrical bending and tempering and complex shaped automotive glass press bending

SKILL E-D is a vertical work centre that

combines multiple types of processing
in one system, which is capable of carrying out processing operations with a
high level of speed and precision. The
machine permits any type of processing
on shaped or straight flat sheet glass,
and combines all drilling and milling
technology with the characteristics of a
vertical grinding machine. A fundamental characteristic is the machines versatility, which allows a wide range of
operations, while maintaining high execution speed and excellent precision.
SKILL E-D performs grinding, polishing,
milling, and drilling operations on
shaped and straight flat sheet glass with
thicknesses between 4 to 20mm, and
can process sheet glass which, depending on the versions used, ranges from a
minimum of 600x300mm to a maximum
of 6,000x3,210mm. The machine comprises e eight axes that are operated by
the latest generation brushless motors,

which are quick and reliable. The
10kW electrospindles, with speed from
0 to 10,000 revs/min, are assembled
on two separate, opposite axes and
their movement is numerically controlled
with the feed axis during processing.
Each spindle has a ten-position tool
change, and enables the internal
passage of water via a rotating joint,
so that the tool is sufficiently cooled
during processing. The electrospindles
are cooled with compressed air and
this helps to limit possible breakages,
also reducing the frequency of maintenance operations.
PROCESSING OPERATIONS
The machine can carry out multiple
processing operations:
GRINDING: this type of processing is
carried out with 150mm diameter diamond wheels, and can be performed on
straight and shaped glass, even if it is

laminated or coated.
POLISHING: polishing can be performed on large surfaces with 150mm
diameter wheels, or on small inserts with
30 or 50mm diameter wheels.
DRILLING: drilling can be performed at
maximum speed, guaranteeing high quality and precision due to the opposite heads.
COUNTERSINKING: can be performed
either with individual diamond tools and
adjusted according to client requirements
by the programme, or with accessories fitted on the diamond drill bits.
MILLING: due to the systems high level
of precision and robustness, milling is a
quick and simple operation to carry out,
and with multiple tools it is possible to
obtain a milled, ground insert in just a
few seconds.
