Casso-Solar
Casso-Solar laminating systems include a free-fall load table, two lay-up conveyors with vacuum lift, pop-up table and pneumatic bridge, infrared preheat oven with pre-press, infrared tack oven with three-zone convection heating sections, tack press, acceleration conveyor and a tilt-unload conveyor. The finely tuned infrared energy can penetrate the glasses and heat directly the polyvinyl butyral film sandwiched between the glasses. The convection heating capability of the system helps the tack heating process when laminating glass coated with reflective coating for window application, since glass with reflective coatings reflects a certain portion of the infrared energy. With this infrared and convection combination system, workers using the system are able to process laminated glass with coatings at the same production rate as glass without coatings.
