Bystronic glass at glasstec 2018

When the glasstec trade fair opens its doors in Düsseldorf on 23-26 October 2018, Bystronic glass will present innovations and trends in architectural, automotive and display glass manufacturing in Hall 14 at Stand A51/A52 true to the motto “Join us at the top“.

This exhibition motto will be taken in a proverbial sense because visitors of the Bystronic glass booth are awaiting an unique “sporting challenge”. What kind of event highlight it is all about, this secret we won’t be giving away now.

Bystronic glass will present more than 50 years of experience in innovative glass processing solutions for the architectural, automotive and display glass industries in over 1,000 sqm of exhibition space.

A number of moderated, live machinery presentations will take place every day to provide the visitors with an in-depth view of the fascinating technologies. Cooperation partner HEGLA will again be on the neighbouring stand, enabling the customers to easily enter into discussions with experts from both of the companies. 

I.G. unit sealing in maxi sizes

The Bystronic glass sealing robot jumbo’sealer is a solution for efficient I.G. unit sealing in maxi sizes. The core is its dynamic mixing system. In contrast to the static mixing system that is very common in the sector, the dynamic mixer works with a significantly reduced material pressure.

With a flow rate of up to six litres per minute, it also makes the utmost material volume available. As a result, the jumbo‘sealer is able to seal even deep spacer setbacks of rectangular units compared to other machines in the market. With the XXL version, glass sizes up to 18 m in length at a total weight of up to 10 tons can be sealed – and this for up to 4-sided stepped I.G. units.

What also sets it apart from other sealing robots in the glass industry is its automatic material changing system that allows operator-free changing of the sealing material – from polysulphide to silicone for instance – inside two minutes. Furthermore, there are several undergripping options in the discharge area that support the removal of the fully sealed Jumbo units.
