Machines to carry out coloured glass.
The coloured glasses are more and more popular on the market, mainly for the furniture market (tables, kitchen …).
The glass colouration is generally done on only one face, from time to time for the edge and the second face.
This is done with 2 steps: the colouration and the treatment to fix the color on (or inside) the glass.
For the colouration there are 3 main processing machines (coming from wood colouration)
The curtain
A curtain of liquid drops on the glass to colour with 2 various technologies.
The lips machines: the curtain drop on the glass between two rubber lips. The distance between the lids adjusts the width for the curtain. It is the more efficient technology allowing a steady coating.
The overflowing machines
The flow is adjusted with different devices depending the machines supplierss
-The rolls
The glass passes under one or several rolls (rolls assembling), generally engraved (the coloured product is inside the groove), and this way, the enamel is put on the glass surface.
-The gun
The enamel is powdered on the glass with a gun with two different ways.
-The glass is on a belt which moves inside the area where the guns are.
-The glass is located on a fix plate and the machine software manages the guns moving. It is possible to have several glasses to colour together on the same fix plate.
The curtains and rolls equipment are for important series due to the time to clean the network (tank, pipes, rolls..) to change the colour.
The gun system is more for sole units or small series (but in this case the glass edge has to be protected) or when you want also to color the glass edge.
These machines come directly from the wood machine markets and the main machines suppliers come from this market.
