Glass Processing

Glass Equipment Applications

We supply three different roller constructions for defined glass-processing positions. Nylon roller brushes clean the glass. Sponge rollers absorb water after washing. Rubber-covered rollers support and move glass in compatible cooling and transfer sections.

Glass Washing & Surface Cleaning

Soft Nylon Roller Brushes

Soft nylon roller brushes provide controlled cleaning contact in horizontal glass washing machines. A close-wound spiral brush on a stainless-steel shaft is one available construction. Nylon grade, filament diameter, density, brush pitch or fill pattern, finished OD, working length, shaft detail, and balance requirement are made to the approved drawing.

Glass type, coating, cleaning liquid, operating speed, and required surface quality must be reviewed. Do not assume that one nylon brush construction is suitable for every glass surface.

PVA sponge roller for glass washing machine water removal

Glass Water Removal & Pre-Drying

PVA Sponge Rollers

PVA sponge rollers remove surface water after glass washing and rinsing, then reduce residual water before the final hot-air or air-knife section. PVA grade, wet dimensions, core, shaft, and mounting details are made to the machine drawing. The construction is reviewed around the required water removal, line speed, contact pressure, liquid, and drainage arrangement.

Glass Cooling & Transfer Conveyors

Rubber-Covered Conveyor Rollers

Rubber-covered rollers can support, convey, and position glass with controlled contact. Cover material, hardness, finished dimensions, working-face profile, shaft, and mounting details are made to the approved drawing.

For cooling, unloading, and transfer positions, the glass temperature and process conditions must be compatible with the specified cover material. Rubber-covered rollers are not assumed suitable for furnace, quench, or other high-temperature sections.

Custom Roller Supply

Made for OEM, Replacement, and Volume Production

We manufacture nylon roller brushes, PVA sponge rollers, and rubber-covered rollers from an approved drawing or measured sample for OEM, replacement, and volume programs. Each construction is reviewed separately for its machine position.

Nylon grade, filament diameter, density, brush pitch or fill pattern, trim, working length, shaft, and balance requirement
Sponge material, wet dimensions, core, shaft, and drainage requirements
Cover material, hardness, finished dimensions, working-face profile, and required contact performance
Glass type, surface condition, and machine position
Glass temperature at the roller position and relevant process conditions
Shaft, journals, bearings, drive, mounting interface, and order quantity

If the sponge changes dimension between dry and wet conditions, provide the required operating dimensions. For rubber-covered rollers, provide the complete roller and shaft drawing, including the required working-face profile.

When reusing an existing shaft, check wear and dimensional change before confirming the replacement fit.

Application Boundaries

Important Application Review

For coated, Low-E, solar, optical, or other surface-sensitive glass, send the glass specification and machine position for review. Surface condition, brush filament, contact pressure, cleanliness, and incoming glass temperature must be confirmed before production.

High-temperature furnace, quench, and lehr positions may require ceramic, composite, graphite, metal, or other specialist roller constructions. Do not select a rubber-covered roller for these positions without confirmed operating data.

Inspect the rollers when cleaning changes, water streaks, damaged filaments, cuts, grooves, slipping, or glass marks appear. Replacement timing follows condition and required glass quality rather than a fixed calendar interval.
