MultiGlass is a newly designed roller machine, suitable to the enamelling, painting, and design printing of glass sheets by means of an engraved cylinder.
MultiGlass represents the evolution of machines that have been on the market for years. The MultiGlass project brings together all the improvements gained from years of field experience and feedback, combining the technical innovations of ColorGlass with the operational flexibility of the previous StarGlass model.
With MultiGlass It is possibile to easily enamel and print any kind of flat glass available on the market, with sheet thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 25 mm and working width from 1300 to 2600 mm.
The sheet transport happens by means of a conveyor belt, made of a special oil/solvent resistant rubber.
Particular attention has been paid to improving the typical challenges of roller coating, ensuring uniform and precise surface coverage while avoiding paint deposits on the entry and exit edges of the sheets. For tempered sheets, thick sheets, or those not perfectly flat, a new type of rubber conveyor belt, combined with the rubber engraved cylinder, ensures uniform coverage even for very large sheets.
For increased flexibility and fast article changeovers, MultiGlass is equipped with a revolver-type rotary turret, that can be raised by pneumatic pistons to allow a quick cylinder change; up to three different engraved cylinders to be fit. The entire article changeover process, which includes setting sheet thickness, dimensions, enamel amount and colour, is completed in a remarkably short time, typically around 15 minutes. A tilting entry conveyor is placed in front of the machine to transport the sheets. An optional device for aligning the front edge of the sheet with the coating engraved cylinder can also be provided on this conveyor.
The electrical panel is integrated into the main frame and is equipped with PLC and inverters for the AC motors. The adjustment of the working thickness is motorized with digital control. Machine is series-arranged with a router for remote assistance and communication with factory computer network. All machine controls and settings are displayed on a large colour screen located on the operator panel.
