TOYOCC provided a tailored solution to a leading glass manufacturing company in the UAE, renowned for its high-volume production of premium glass products. As one of the top players in the region, the company specializes in handling oversized glass panels for architectural, automotive, and industrial applications. Their operations involve working with exceptionally large glass sizes, often exceeding standard dimensions, which presents unique challenges in maintaining cleanliness and surface integrity throughout the production line.
Project Background
The company faced significant hurdles in their glass washing and drying processes due to the sheer scale of their glass panels. Traditional washing systems were inadequate for handling very large glass sizes increased downtime, and potential quality issues. Manual or semi-automated methods resulted in inconsistent cleaning, higher water and energy consumption, and slower throughput, which bottle necked their production capacity. With a target output of 600-700 IG units per 8-hour shift, they needed a robust solution that could ensure thorough washing and drying without compromising speed or glass integrity, all while accommodating thicknesses from 3-19mm and minimizing defects like streaks or residue.
Tailored Solution
To address these challenges, TOYOCC delivered a customized automatic vertical glass washing and drying machine designed specifically for high-volume, large-format glass processing. This state-of-the-art system features a vertical configuration that optimizes space and facilitates seamless integration into existing production lines. Key specifications include:
Dimensions and Capacity: Measuring 16,098mm x 4,000mm x 4,500mm (L x W x H), the machine supports glass sizes starting from a minimum of 300mm x 450mm up to the large-scale requirements of the client's operations.
Performance Metrics: Capable of washing speeds from 0-10m/min and transmission speeds up to 45m/min, ensuring rapid processing without sacrificing quality.
Modular Design: Composed of three sections feed, washing and drying, and light inspection/storage this setup allows for efficient workflow, from initial loading to final quality checks.
Advanced Features: Equipped with precision controls for handling various glass thicknesses and types, the machine incorporates energy-efficient drying mechanisms and automated controls to reduce operational costs.
The solution was delivered with a lead time of 45 days, ensuring a smooth procurement process. This tailored approach not only met but exceeded the client's needs for scalability and reliability in processing very large glass sizes.
Installation was straightforward, with the machine's compact yet robust design allowing for quick setup in the client's facility. The TOYOCC team provided on-site training and support to ensure seamless operation from day one. The vertical orientation minimized floor space usage while maximizing throughput, integrating effortlessly with upstream cutting and downstream assembly processes.
Conclusion
Post-implementation, the company reported a significant boost in productivity, achieving consistent output of 600-700 IG units per shift with reduced labor involvement and lower defect rates. The machine's efficiency in handling very large glass sizes eliminated previous bottlenecks, resulting in faster turnaround times and improved product quality. Energy savings from optimized washing and drying cycles contributed to cost reductions, while the overall system reliability enhanced operational uptime. This partnership underscores TOYOCC's commitment to delivering innovative solutions that empower top-tier glass manufacturers in the UAE to maintain their competitive edge in a demanding industry.
