Glass Production Revolutionized: Meet the Schiatti Angelo Turnover Line!

Welcome to another exciting edition of the DeGorter Gazette! This month, we are thrilled to spotlight a groundbreaking automated line for the world of flat glass production – Officina Meccanica Schiatti Angelo s.r.l. #Turnover Line. This revolutionary product is designed to automate the production of flat glass in a vertical position, significantly enhancing efficiency, precision, and safety in the manufacturing process.

A New Era in Glass Production

Though the Schiatti Angelo Turnover Line is officially in production for over a decade, it still represents a significant leap forward in glass production technology in the most cost effective way. By automating the vertical edging process, it not only increases production speed but ensures consistent quality and reduces the risk of human error. This advanced flat glass edging equipment has been transforming the industry, making it easier for companies to meet the growing demand for high-quality flat glass with much lower labor input.

Key Features and Benefits

• Varying Sizes and Thicknesses: The unique measuring and clutch system of the Turnover Line allows its users to place any size and thickness glass in succession. The line reads all the dimensions, including thickness, and adjusts itself accordingly providing a non-stop flow of production and protecting against operator error.
• Out of Square Glass: Due to vertical positioning with slightly modified vertical edgers, The Turnover Line allows to process out of square glass without a problem, something robotic arm solutions continue to struggle with.
• Vertical Positioning: The Turnover Line automates the production process in a vertical position, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and quality of the glass
• Enhanced Efficiency: Automation leads to faster production times, allowing companies to increase output without compromising on quality. The solution provides a truly uninterrupted flow of glass. Capable of dropping one finished piece roughly every minute.
• Reduced Labor Costs: By automating key aspects of production, The Turnover line allows to be operated by only two people; one for loading and one for unloading. As well is capable of integrating with automatic loaders/unloaders further allowing companies to reallocate labor resources to other critical areas, potentially reducing overall labor costs.
• Simple & Effective: The Turnover does not rely on complicated robotics or expensive software solutions which restrict today's automation in the glass industry. Its design is simple and effective, based on more than 5 decades of experience in production of vertical glass edging equipment.
