In laminated glass, two glass sheets are bonded together with a PVB or EVA interlayer. The lifespan of this bond depends on how clean the surfaces are before autoclaving and how smoothly the edges are prepared. Deka's vertical washing and grinding machines guarantee these two conditions at the entrance of your laminating line.
The most common defect seen in laminated glass in the field. delamination — Separation of the interlayer from the glass is characterized by cloudiness and bubbling progressing inwards from the edges. Almost all of this is due to surface preparation before bonding: residual oil film, operating dust, or post-drying mineral residue prevents the PVB from adhering properly to the glass. The intermediate layer traps the contamination and cannot be cleaned again. Edge preparation is also important: a jagged edge will both stress the interlayer in the autoclave and leave a path for moisture to enter.
Next in line for laminate production. Break-in → drilling (if necessary) → washing → assembly → autoclave This is how it works. Washing is the final and most critical step before the cleanroom.
FSR vertical CNC glass processing center: drilling, milling, grinding and shape cutting in a single machine. Low space requirement and fast preparation thanks to vertical positioning.
VGWM vertical glass cleaning machine: brush configuration for insulated and Low-E glass, demineralized water circuit and drying. Spotless surface for butyl adhesion.
DKDT vertical glass edging and grinding machine: edge preparation for pre-tempering, including band, flat, C-shaped, and profile edging. The number of spindles is configured according to your production line.
DD6 vertical glass drilling machine: drills and countersinks in flat, shaped, and laminated glass. Torque control reduces the risk of cracking and output chipping. Manufactured by Deka Makine.
