Washing & Drying Process
The machine uses a continuous four-stage process:
Pre-washing: Spray bars and circulating water remove loose dust and surface contaminants before brushing.
Brush washing: Three pairs of brushes clean the glass surface. The dedicated soft upper brush is configured for Low-E glass.
Rinsing: Three stainless-steel water tanks and circulating pumps support continuous washing and rinsing.
Air-knife drying: Three pairs of air knives remove residual water from the glass surface before discharge.
The combination of controlled brush contact, circulating water, and multi-stage air knives is intended to provide a clean, dry surface suitable for subsequent glass-processing operations.
Production Applications
The machine is suitable for production lines processing:
- Architectural and façade glass
- Window and door glass
- Low-E and coated glass
- Glass before tempering
- Glass before insulating glass assembly
- Glass before lamination, printing, inspection, or packaging
It can be installed as a standalone washing unit or positioned between upstream and downstream glass-processing equipment where continuous material transfer is required.
Configuration & Customization
The machine can be configured according to:
- Maximum glass size and production width
- Glass thickness range
- Required washing speed
- Low-E/coated glass processing requirements
- Electrical standards for the destination market
- Integration with cutting, edging, tempering, or other production lines
PLC and touchscreen control are available according to the selected configuration.
Quality Control & Machine Testing
Before shipment, key mechanical, electrical, and washing functions should be checked against the confirmed configuration. Factory testing includes:
- Conveyor and brush rotation testing
- Washing and circulating-water system testing
- Air-knife and blower operation testing
- Motorized lifting operation
- PLC/control-system and emergency-stop checks
- Water leakage inspection
- Trial washing and drying using representative glass where required
- Verification of machine dimensions, electrical specifications, and configured components
A machine test record and final configuration checklist can be prepared for project orders to support installation and acceptance at the customer's facility.
Installation Requirements
The standard machine requires a 380 V, 50 Hz, 3-phase power supply and adequate factory space for the 5550 × 3200 mm equipment footprint, plus access for glass loading, unloading, maintenance, and utilities.
For installation, the buyer should prepare a level supporting floor, suitable water supply and drainage, electrical connection, and sufficient ventilation around the equipment. Where compressed air is required by the selected configuration, an industrial glass-washing machine commonly uses approximately 0.6–0.8 MPa working air pressure; the final requirement should be confirmed on the machine technical sheet before installation.

FAQ
Q: Can the machine wash glass with water-based processing residues?
A: Yes. It can be configured for production environments where glass carries dust, fine particles, cutting residues, or other water-soluble processing contaminants. The exact washing requirement should be confirmed from the customer's upstream process and surface condition.
Q: Can cleaning chemicals be used with this glass washing machine?
A: Yes, compatible glass-cleaning detergents can be used when required. Chemical concentration should follow the detergent supplier's recommendation and be compatible with the machine's pumps, seals, brushes, tanks, and the glass coating being processed.
Q: Can the washing machine prevent water spots after drying?
A: The air-knife system removes residual water, but final surface quality also depends on water quality, glass cleanliness, air cleanliness, and machine adjustment. For demanding applications, treated final-rinse water and regular cleaning of air knives and water circuits are recommended.
Q: What regular maintenance does the machine require?
A: Routine maintenance includes cleaning water tanks and filters, checking pumps and spray components, inspecting brushes and conveyor rollers, cleaning air knives, and checking electrical and drive components. Maintenance intervals should be adjusted according to production hours and water contamination levels.
Q: Which parts are normally considered wear parts?
A: Typical wear parts include washing brushes, conveyor components, seals, pump-related consumables, filters, and other components exposed to continuous water or mechanical contact. A recommended spare-parts list can be supplied according to the final machine configuration.
Q: What is the typical delivery time?
A: Standard configurations are typically delivered within 60–90 days after order confirmation and production details are finalized. The final schedule depends on the machine configuration, customization requirements, and production plan.
Q: What shipping methods are available for international orders?
A: Sea freight is generally used for complete machine shipments, while air or express services may be considered for documents, spare parts, or urgent components.
Q: Which Incoterms are available for the machine?
A: The usual delivery term is FOB Shanghai Port. EXW, CFR, and CIF are also available for buyers who require different arrangements for freight, insurance, or import logistics.
Q: What warranty is provided for the glass washing machine?
A: The complete machine is covered by a one-year warranty. Warranty coverage applies to the entire unit under normal operation and according to the agreed technical and operating requirements.
