1. Who is Schiatti Angelo?

Schiatti Angelo, Schiatti, is a company that specializes in manufacturing of machinery for processing of flat glass. Founded and located in Italy where there is a rich history in this field. Schiatti is located just outside Milan and the company has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality, reliable equipment. Their products are used worldwide and are synonymous with precision, reliability, and durability.

2. Types of Glass Equipment by Schiatti

While Schiatti Angelo offers a wide range of equipment, including the ability to custom produce to meet any specification. Let's mention a few of the most commonly provided solutions for companies like yours:

• Straight-Line Edging Machines: These are used for grinding and polishing the edges of flat glass. They process different glass thicknesses from 1/8" to 3" on standard models and can produce various edge finishes such as flat with arris, pencil profiles, OG, and various others including variable mitering for butt-glazing panels.

• Horizontal Double Edging Lines: These lines consists of two machines with a transfer table and are take on the highest production environments running 24/7/365. As they process two sides of the glass in a single pass with one fixed side, glass exits these lines perfectly square. Capable of producing flat with arris or pencil edge profile.

• Automatic Vertical Edging Lines: The Turnover Line was a unique solution designed to automate processing of glass in vertical position, where often the glass is not perfectly square and that double edging solutions cannot accommodate. This product allows our partners to processes varying thicknesses, sizes, and out of square glass with uninterrupted production. It pairs 4 vertical edging machines with a special turning device to process all four sides of the glass without operator interference, simply load and unload the line and the equipment does the rest.

• Drilling Machines: As the name suggests, these machines are used to drill holes into the glass in various ways. From simple dual-head horizontal drilling machines (FPD-60) to the most complex vertical CNC machines for highest precision (TFV machine). This process is essential for creating fixtures, fittings, or decorative features.

• Bevelling Machines: A bevelling machine creates angled bevels on the flat surface of the glass. Commonly used in the production of mirrors and other specialty decorative glass products.

3. Why Schiatti Angelo Stands Out

It's essential to understand not all glass equipment is created equal. The precision, reliability, and durability of Schiatti Angelo machines make them a preferred choice among professionals.

4. The Importance of Quality Glass Equipment

Understanding glass is not just about appreciating its beauty or functionality. The process of shaping, cutting, and finishing glass requires a keen understanding of the material and the right equipment. Faulty or imprecise equipment can lead to defects, waste, and safety hazards. This is why investing in top-notch machinery, like that from Schiatti Angelo, that will last you decades is crucial.
