1800 Vertical Washing Drying Machine for Insulated and Tempered Glass

Core Features

Washing and Drying System

• Multi-stage cleaning: The 1800 Vertical Washing Drying Machine for Insulated and Tempered Glass passes each glass sheet through a series of rotating brush rollers and spray nozzles. A pre-wash zone removes coarse dust, followed by a main wash with heated water and detergent if required, and a final rinse with demineralised water.
• Air knife drying: High-velocity air knives are positioned above and below the glass path after the rinse section. The air stream is heated and the knife gap adjusts to glass thickness, providing uniform water removal across the surface. The vertical orientation helps drain water downward, reducing the chance of residual droplets remaining on the glass.
• Water filtration and recirculation: A closed-loop water system with replaceable filter cartridges captures particles washed off the glass. Recirculated water is reused in the pre-wash and main wash stages, while fresh demineralised water is used for the final rinse. This arrangement lowers water consumption and waste output.

Control and Energy Use

• PLC with HMI: A touchscreen interface provides access to washing speed, brush pressure, water temperature, air knife heater settings, and alarm logs. Operators can save parameter sets for different glass types and recall them when changing production batches.
• Variable frequency drive: The main conveyor motor is inverter-driven, with speed adjustable from 0 to 8 m/min. This allows the operator to match the feed rate to the required cleaning intensity and the downstream process speed.
• Installed power: Total power consumption is 15 kW, distributed across brush motors, water pumps, heating elements, and the air knife blower. Energy use is reduced in standby mode when no glass is detected on the conveyor.

Low-E and Coated Glass Handling

• Adjustable brush pressure: The brush height and contact pressure can be reduced for sensitive Low-E or coated glass surfaces. Soft-bristle brush sets are available as an option. This allows the machine to clean coated glass without removing or degrading the functional layer, provided the correct parameters are set.

Technical Specifications

Applications

The 1800 Vertical Washing and Drying Machine for Insulated and Tempered Glass is used in glass processing plants for cleaning flat glass before further manufacturing steps:

• Architectural curtain walls: Prepares large-format glass panels for structural glazing and insulating glass unit assembly.
• Insulated glass production: Performs the cleaning step before spacer placement and butyl coating, where surface contamination could weaken the primary seal.
• Tempered and laminated glass: Removes dust and residues prior to heat treatment or lamination to reduce the risk of surface defects and optical distortion.
• Automotive and specialty glass: Suitable for windshields, sunroofs, and decorative glass where a particle-free surface is required.

FAQ

Q1: Can this machine safely wash Low-E or coated glass?

Yes. The 1800 Vertical Washing and Drying Machine allows adjustment of brush height and pressure. Soft-bristle brush sets are available as an option, and with the correct settings the cleaning process does not remove or degrade the functional coating.

Q2: What is the maximum glass size this model can handle?

The maximum glass size is 1800 mm wide by 2500 mm high, which covers common commercial and residential insulating glass unit dimensions.

Q3: How does the vertical design benefit insulated glass production?

Vertical washing allows water to drain off the glass surface by gravity during the rinse and drying stages. This reduces the likelihood of water pooling, which can leave residue after drying. A dry surface before butyl coating and assembly helps maintain the integrity of the primary seal.

Q4: Do you provide installation and technical support?

Shandong Lebulang Precision Machinery provides English-language manuals and installation videos. Remote guidance is available, and on-site installation support can be arranged at additional cost if required.

Q5: What is the power consumption of this machine?

The total installed power is 15 kW. Actual consumption depends on the selected water heating temperature, conveyor speed, and how many brush and blower motors are active during operation.
