AQUA SERIES

Vertical washing machines for flat glass

INTEGRATED WASHING AND DRYING IN A SINGLE SOLUTION

The Aqua series is the Intermac range of washing machines which can be fully integrated with vertical machining centres, enabling processed glass to be washed and dried in accordance with the highest standards.

Aqua guarantees extreme cleaning of all the impurities accumulated during the machine operations carried out on glass sheets, preparing these perfectly for subsequent processing operations or for leaving the machining cycle.

INFINITE WORK CYCLES

The passage of the glass through the washing machine is a crucial stage in the glass processing cycle as it removes all the impurities from the sheet that may have been deposited during previous processes, as well as preparing the glass for subsequent processing operations such as tempering, screen printing, lamination, digital printing and double glazing, where the glass must be perfectly clean when it enters the machine.

The Intermac Aqua range washes and dries processed glass to the highest standards.

High-quality components
Aqua guarantees infinite use, adapting perfectly to the speeds of the machining line

The feed rollers that move the glass forward work as a single unit, and are made from a one piece of vulcanised and ground rubber; they are non-marking and antistatic, they do not absorb oil or generate dirt, and are not charged with electrostatic current. The transmission of the drive rollers takes place by means of bevel gear sets in plastic material, which are devoid of any type of lubrication.

Aqua can be fully configured in accordance with varying production requirements courtesy of the length-adjustable inbound and outbound conveyors, both for stand-alone and in-line installations. The solution offers maximum flexibility when it comes to glass loading and unloading widths, thanks to the 3 dimension types (1.0/1.5/2.0 m), which can be combined with one another. It is also possible to configure the processing direction, from right to left and from left to right. The

DEDICATED TECHNOLOGY FOR AUTOMATIC MANAGEMENT OF ALL TYPES OF GLASS ON THE MARKET
Ideal for infinite work cycles
An automatic adjustment system enables Aqua to handle glass sheets with thicknesses of up to 32 mm, and can be interconnected with other machines in the same line, allowing the processing speed and the machine opening to be managed in accordance with the thickness of the sheet of glass in question.

PRE-WASHING OF THE GLASS
The entire Aqua range features a glass pre-wash system; this step is fundamental, particularly when the washing machine is combined in line with other machines.

WASHING

Washing is performed by two or three pairs of brushes.

The machine can also be equipped with soft front brushes, which are particularly suitable for washing delicate types of glass (low-e).

Each washing section has its own tank, with independent pumps.

RINSING
Where subsequent processing operations are due to take place, it is advisable to fit the machine with a purification system for demineralising the water, for an improved glass drying result (no droplets or rings).

DRYING

Air blade (blowers) in stainless steel ensure absolute durability over time.

The machine can be equipped with antistatic bars, to eliminate the current generated during the drying operation.

The fan power can be managed via the inverter in accordance with the speed of work.
