At GlassBuild America 2025, Glaston showcases its latest innovations in glass processing, emphasizing smart automation, energy efficiency, and production flexibility.
Glass Tempering
The new Glaston FC Series E introduces advanced energy efficiency and flexibility, featuring the Glaston Bora circulated-air convection system for precise heating. Built on proven technologies, it efficiently handles all glass types and integrates state-of-the-art automation for reliable production.
Glaston Autopilot is a unique, fully automated solution for tempering glass in mixed production environments. It intelligently adjusts heating and cooling settings based on the type, size, and load of the glass, eliminating the need for manual operator input. This automation reduces waste, enhances production efficiency, and ensures consistently high-quality tempered glass.
Glass Laminating
The ProL lamination technology offers exceptional flexibility for mixed production. Its convection heating chamber simplifies switching between glass types. The new Glaston ProL SPEED edition increases efficiency by up to 40%, with full automation for handling, foil placement, and trimming. The patented ProL Convection Control enhances output with structural laminates like SentryGlas®, while the ProL-zone upgrade replaces infrared heating with convection, reducing energy consumption by at least 50%.
Insulating Glass Manufacturing
Glaston ULTRA TPS® introduces a patented method for producing thin triple IGUs, with center glass as thin as 0.5 mm. These units match the thickness of standard double IGUs but offer superior thermal performance, ideal for both new builds and retrofits. The line also supports quadruple IGUs, improving light transmission while reducing material usage. Glaston MUNTIN’MASTER automates muntin placement, eliminating manual steps and increasing precision and cost-efficiency.
Mobility Glass Processing
Glaston CHAMP EVO is the latest in pre-processing for mobility glass, offering high precision, energy-efficient drives, and faster changeovers. Glaston MATRIX EVO, a new automatic bending furnace, delivers top optical quality for complex automotive glass applications, such as ADAS and HUD. Its modular design and active convection system enhance energy efficiency. The line is especially effective for processing borosilicate glass – a more durable and lightweight alternative to traditional soda-lime glass.
Automation and Upgrades
The Glaston Batch Optimization utilizes robotics to create efficient batch patterns, thereby maximizing furnace utilization. Glaston’s automation solutions integrate mechanical systems with process intelligence, optimizing every production step. A full range of upgrades and lifecycle services ensures long-term equipment performance and compliance with evolving industry standards.
