The “2500” in the model name generally indicates the maximum processing width of the glass, meaning it can handle glass sheets up to 2500mm wide.
Glass Thickness:
These machines typically handle glass thicknesses ranging from 3mm to 30mm, though this can vary.
Processing Speed:
Processing speeds vary, but often range from 0 to 7 meters per minute (m/min), or can reach much higher speeds in high speed machines. Some machines have stepless speed adjustment.
Brushes:
Most machines feature multiple pairs of brushes (e.g., 3 pairs) to ensure thorough cleaning. These brushes are often designed to be suitable for various glass types, including Low-E coated glass.
Air Knives:
Drying is achieved using air knives, with multiple pairs (e.g., 2 or 3 pairs) and powerful blowers. Some machines have heating systems for the air knives to enhance drying.
Construction:
Robust construction with materials like stainless steel for water contact areas.
Often Aluminum profiles are used for the main structure.
Control Systems:
Many modern machines use PLC touch screen control systems for precise operation.
Power Requirements:
Power consumption varies significantly depending on the machine’s size and features, and can range from several kilowatts to upwards of 40 kilowatts.
Water Tanks:
Often the machines will have multiple water tanks, to help keep the washing water clean.
Minimum Glass Size:
There is also a minimum glass size that the machines can process, often around 350mm x 350mm.
Weight and Dimensions:
These machines are large and heavy, with weights often in the thousands of kilograms.
