FGTECH Washer - 2500CGW and Glass 4-Sided Grinder join forces to boost Irish factory

In the current increasingly competitive situation of the global glass processing industry, efficient and precise production equipment has become the key to stand out. Recently, in the customer's factory in Ireland, FGTECH's FG - 2500CGW glass washing machine and the partner company's glass four-side grinding machine were successfully docked. The two machines work in tandem to give full play to their optimal performance, bringing a qualitative leap forward for the customer's glass production line, achieving a significant improvement in productivity and a steady increase in production capacity.

FGTECH - 2500CGW glass washing machine is designed to provide excellent washing solutions for glass processing enterprises. Its unique aluminium alloy assembly structure is not only robust and durable with a timeless permanent service life, but also makes the machine's overall mass light and easy to install and maintain. Other structural parts are treated with top quality powder coatings, which provide greater corrosion resistance than ordinary coatings, allowing for long term stable operation in a variety of complex industrial environments.

The washing and drying functions of this washing machine are truly outstanding. Equipped with three pairs of 160mm diameter brush heads with SS304 shafts, it can gently and efficiently clean LOW - E glass, ordinary coated glass, and solar coated glass, ensuring that the surface of the glass is free of scratches and providing a perfect foundation for subsequent processing procedures. Meanwhile, the machine has two pairs of air knives made of stainless steel and aluminium. One vertical and one oblique air knife design, strong wind power and good drying effect. Together with the equipped air heating system and high pressure fan with air filter, the drying efficiency is further improved. The high-pressure fan is installed on the top of the machine, which saves space and can be lifted and lowered with the cleaning and drying section for easy maintenance and inspection. The air filter is located on the side for easy and regular cleaning. It only needs to be cleaned once every 7 days to maintain good ventilation and drying effect at all times.

The FGTECH - 2500CGW also excels in terms of transmission and control. The main drive is gear driven, combined with frequency conversion speed control and digital display, which can accurately control the machine running speed. The brush rolls in the cleaning section are driven by upper and lower motors via separate belts. The advantages of this design are automatic pulleys, no need for tension pulleys, flexible rotation of brush rollers, high precision, smooth brush operation and long service life to meet the requirements of high quality cleaning of special glass. In addition, the machine is controlled by PLC and touch screen, which makes it easy to connect with other equipments in the production line and realise the seamless connection of automated production process.

When the FGTECH - 2500CGW glass washing machine was successfully docked with the partner company's glass four-side grinding machine, the advantages of both were fully utilised. In the previous production process, there were often problems of poor connection and inefficiency between the glass washing and grinding processes, resulting in limited production capacity of the whole production line. Now, the FGTECH - 2500CGW washer can quickly and efficiently clean glass with sizes ranging from 400x400mm to a maximum width of 2600mm and thicknesses of 3 - 25mm at a working speed of 0 - 15m/min. The cleaned glass can then be fed directly into the four-sided glass edge grinding machine for edge grinding without waiting, significantly reducing the production cycle.

In terms of production capacity, the synergistic operation of the two brings a significant increase. According to statistics from the customer's factory, before the connection, the factory's glass production line had a limited daily output and the quality of the products varied. Now, with the efficient co-operation between the FGTECH - 2500CGW and the glass four-side grinding machine, the daily output of the production line has been greatly increased and the product quality has been strictly controlled. Tested with reference to GB/T1.1 - 2009 standard, the cleaned glass has no water stains, no roller marks, no scratches and good dryness. After entering the four-way grinding process, the grinding process can be completed accurately, and the glass products produced are of high precision and excellent quality, which have won wide recognition in the market.
