Vertical Glass Washing Machine – 1800, 2000 and 2200 mm Heights
One of the most essential stages in double-glazed glass production is washing the glass with dedicated industrial equipment, including vertical glass washing machines.
Even the smallest stain on the inner glass surface cannot be reached and cleaned after the double-glazed window manufacturing process is complete, reducing the quality of the finished product.
The vertical glass washing machine, available in heights of 1800, 2000 and 2200 mm, is one of the most efficient machines for this purpose.
History of Double-Glazed Glass Production
Double- or multi-glazed glass consists of two or more panes arranged parallel to one another at equal distances and separated by a spacer.
The space between the panes contains air or an inert gas, such as argon or krypton, at a pressure approximately equal to outside atmospheric pressure. This cavity provides the insulating properties of double-glazed glass.
Aluminium spacers are commonly used in double-glazed units, with their cavities filled with silica gel or another desiccant.
This material absorbs moisture from the air between the panes, while suitable sealants provide a complete airtight seal.
Spacers are commonly available in thicknesses of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 mm.
Depending on requirements, double-glazed windows can use clear, tinted, reflective, laminated or tempered glass.
In 1865, a glass shop owner in New York City obtained a patent and the rights to use double-glazed glass in the United States.
Through research and experiments, he demonstrated that double glazing could help prevent indoor heat from escaping in cold weather and improve protection of the indoor environment.
Introduction to the Double-Glazed Glass Washing Machine
Have you ever wondered how glass is cleaned during double-glazed unit production so that the finished product reaches the customer completely clean and free of stains?
The key machine in this process is the industrial glass washing machine, available in horizontal and vertical models.
Its advantages include high operating speed, ease of use, improved product quality, competitive pricing, and easy replacement of components and spare parts.
What Is a Vertical Glass Washing Machine?
A vertical double-glazed glass washing machine, unlike a horizontal model built as a single unit, has three main sections:
1. Left conveyor
2. Main washing chamber in the centre
3. Right or end conveyor
The left conveyor is the first stage of the washing process. Unwashed glass panes are placed on it, and driven rollers beneath the glass move it into the main washing chamber.
Because the vertical machine is installed at a slight incline, several small plastic idler rollers support the glass from one side and help maintain its balance.
Inside the washing chamber, polyurethane idler rollers support the glass, while shafts fitted with driven polyurethane or silicone rollers move it forward.
These soft rollers adapt to different glass sizes. Four brushes wash the glass and prepare it for drying.
The main washing chamber can be made of stainless steel or galvanised steel. Stainless steel is more expensive but offers better quality.
The dryer is located at the end of the chamber. It consists of two metal air nozzles connected to a fan by flexible plastic ducts. The drying fan should have a power rating above 5.5 horsepower.
In vertical washing machines with heights of 1800, 2000 and 2200 mm, gravity and easier access to both sides of the glass improve washing and drying performance.
The final stage is the right conveyor, which receives the glass from the washing chamber.
The right conveyor has driven rollers underneath and, like the left conveyor, uses a slight incline to support the glass from one side.
This section also has several fluorescent lights behind the glass, allowing the operator to monitor the final washing stage effectively.
