Vertical glass washing machines
The vertical washing machines for glass have some advantages
Workshop surface saving
The possibility to work "on line" with others machines (edging machines, drilling machines, vertical CNC center...)
Less limitations for the maximum glass dimensions (for the open top machines), but only for the smallest machines
These machines have 3 sections
Washing with one, two or three brushes pairs depending if the washing machine is used for double glazing or for flat glass processing.

The important points
washing useful dimensions. Even if the vertical glass washing machines are "open top" allowing to wash in 2 times large glass, this possibility can affect the washing quality for the highest washing machines (rigidity problems)
Brushes number
Concerning glass processing 2 pairs of brushes for washing are the proper solution to have good quality and speed. Even if washing machines with only one pairs of brushes exist on the market. The risk with such a washing machine to have washing quality problems is important. So a one brushes pair vertical washing machine is not an industrial solution.
3 brushes pairs (or 4) are only required for double glazing processing.
The working direction is important to better organize your production, even if the machine is not installed "on line" in the workshop.
Need or not to have lights on the outlet conveyor to control the washing quality.
Position for the brushes motors (better on the top of the machine to reduce the maintenance)
Minimum glass dimensions (distance between the rolls for the inlet and outlet conveyors).
But these machines have also some limits:
-No possible to wash glasses without a straight edge.
These machines are always in contact with water. So it is important to have the maximum part of the machine with inox steel.
