1800mm Horizontal Insulated Glass Washing and Drying Machine

In insulated glass (IG) production, glass cleanliness is critical for seal integrity and service life. The 1800mm Horizontal Insulated Glass Washing and Drying Machine is engineered for larger glass sizes with a horizontal conveying system, ensuring stable, continuous operation for high‑volume IG lines. Unlike vertical washers, this horizontal design simplifies loading of oversized glass and integrates easily with existing conveyor tables.

Built entirely from grade 304 stainless steel (cover and water tank included), the machine features four brush rollers (two pairs), three sponge roller pairs, and a circulating hot air plus air knife drying stage -- eliminating edge moisture, water spots, and streaks. A frequency‑controlled panel adjusts washing speed from 2 to 12 m/min, letting you optimize throughput by glass thickness and soil level.

This 1800mm Horizontal Insulated Glass Washing and Drying Machine handles float, tempered, laminated, and low‑e glass (with optional brush configuration), and is widely used in architectural glass, automotive glass, and high‑end furniture glass lines. By reducing water carryover and improving drying efficiency, it helps manufacturers achieve lower defect rates and higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• True Horizontal Conveying -- Flat feeding reduces operator fatigue; connects directly to washing, drying, and IG assembly lines.
• Full 304 Stainless Steel -- Machine body and water tank are rust‑proof and chemical‑resistant for long‑term wet operation.
• 4 Brushes + 3 Sponge Pairs -- Nylon/abrasive brush rollers and absorbent sponge rollers remove residues and pre‑wick water.
• Heated Air Knife Drying -- High‑velocity circulating hot air strips water from both sides -- no streaks or edge bleeding.
• Frequency‑Controlled Speed -- Conveying speed adjustable from 2 to 12 m/min for different glass conditions.
• Compact Footprint -- Handles 1800mm wide glass with only 4.3m total length -- saves floor space.

Operational & Economic Benefits

Upgrading to the 1800mm Horizontal Insulated Glass Washing and Drying Machine delivers measurable improvements in your production line:

1. 30% faster size changeover -- Switch from 300mm to 1800mm in under 2 minutes, no tools.
2. Save 1,500L of water per shift -- Recirculating filtration cuts water & detergent costs drastically.
3. Reject rate <0.5% -- Dual air knives eliminate edge carryover; down from 5% typical.
4. 25% less drying energy -- Circulating hot air design beats standard blowers.
5. Longer roller life -- 304 stainless body means no corrosion debris. Sponges last 4--6 months, brushes 10--14 months.
6. Plugs into your line -- 850mm ±50mm adjustable height fits most conveyors & IG tables.
7. Payback in 6--9 months -- For mid‑volume IG lines (2,000 m²/day).

FAQ

1. What is the actual maximum glass width this machine can clean?

The effective cleaning width is 1800 mm. The infeed and outfeed tables can accommodate glass up to 2500 mm in length. For longer glass (e.g., 3000 mm), we offer an extended conveyor option.

2. Can this machine process low‑e glass without scratching?

Yes. For low‑e (soft coated) glass, we can replace standard brushes with soft felt rollers or fine nylon brushes upon request. Please specify when ordering.

3. Does the horizontal design require a different foundation or leveling?

The machine comes with adjustable feet. A flat, level concrete floor is sufficient. No special foundation needed. We provide a detailed leveling guide.

4. Can the machine be integrated into a fully automated IG line?

Absolutely. The horizontal design allows easy connection to automatic loading/unloading conveyors, edge grinding machines, and IG sealant applicators. We can provide matching conveyor sections upon request.
