Acquiring an insulating machine for your glassworks business is a strategic investment to produce energy-efficient glass products. Understanding the key factors before making a purchase is essential. This guide outlines the main points to consider when evaluating insulating machines and highlights some prominent manufacturers in the industry.

Key Points to Consider

1. Machine Specifications: Start by examining the machine’s specifications, including its production capacity, glass thickness range, and the types of insulating glass it can manufacture. Ensure the machine aligns with your production needs and can accommodate the glass dimensions you commonly work with.

2. Quality and Performance: Choose machines known for their reliability, durability, and consistent performance. Evaluate the overall construction quality, including the materials used and the manufacturer's reputation. Investing in a high-quality machine ensures the consistent production of insulating glass over time.

3. Automation and Technology: Automation features significantly enhance productivity and efficiency. Look for machines with advanced automation capabilities such as automatic sealing, gas filling, and edge deletion. Additionally, consider if the machine integrates with digital control systems for seamless operation and improved production control.

4. Energy Efficiency: Energy consumption is crucial in the glassworking industry. Opt for insulating machines designed for energy efficiency, featuring low-energy convection, efficient heating systems, and programmable settings to optimize energy usage. This reduces operational costs and environmental impact.

5. Maintenance and Service: Assess the availability of spare parts and the level of technical support from the manufacturer. Understanding the machine’s maintenance requirements and the accessibility of service technicians is vital to minimize downtime and ensure smooth operations.

Prominent Manufacturers

Bystronic: Known for precision, efficiency, and innovative technologies, Bystronic offers cutting-edge insulating glass production lines. Their machines are reliable and designed to deliver high-quality results.

Lisec: A globally recognized manufacturer of glass processing equipment, including insulating machines. Lisec is renowned for high-quality production, reliability, and comprehensive automation features.

Glaston: Specializes in glass tempering and insulating solutions, providing advanced insulating machines tailored to glassworks businesses. Glaston’s equipment is known for performance, energy efficiency, and intuitive user interfaces.

What is Insulation?

Insulation in glassworks involves creating insulating glass units (IGUs) or double-glazed windows, designed to improve energy efficiency and provide thermal and acoustic insulation. Here’s a simplified explanation of the insulation process:

  1. Glass Cutting: Cutting individual glass panes to the desired dimensions, typically using two panes of different thicknesses for IGUs.

  2. Cleaning and Preparing Glass Surfaces: Thoroughly cleaning the glass panes to ensure a pristine surface free from contaminants like dirt, dust, and oils.

  3. Spacer Installation: Placing a spacer along the edges of one glass pane, creating a sealed space between the two panes. The spacer acts as a barrier, maintaining a uniform gap and providing structural support.

  4. Desiccant Application: Incorporating a moisture-absorbing desiccant within the spacer to prevent condensation and maintain optimal insulation performance.

  5. Sealing the Edges: Applying a primary sealant to bond the spacer to the glass panes, ensuring an airtight and watertight seal using materials like silicone or polyisobutylene.

  6. Gas Filling: Injecting an inert gas, such as argon or krypton, into the sealed space between the glass panes to enhance insulation by reducing heat transfer.

  7. Secondary Sealant Application: Reinforcing the seal with a secondary sealant to cover the primary sealant and provide additional protection against moisture and air infiltration.

  8. Quality Control and Testing: Conducting rigorous quality control checks to ensure adherence to industry standards, including tests for air leakage, moisture penetration, and overall performance.

The resulting insulating glass units are then ready for installation in windows, doors, or other applications requiring enhanced insulation, providing improved thermal insulation, reduced energy consumption, and increased comfort.

Budget Considerations

When purchasing a used insulating machine, prices typically range from €4,000 to €15,000. This range varies based on the machine's condition, capacity, and technological features.
