Vacuum
Busch R5 pumps, capacity 900 m³/h, vacuum 0.1 mbar abs. Cold evacuation before heating and hot evacuation during it.
PRE-LAMINATION FURNACE FOR LAMINATED GLASS / DESIGN, INSTALLATION, SERVICE
Precision built
into every stage.
The B1 Machine is a pre-lamination furnace for laminated glass, designed and manufactured by Clima Line in Katowice. The process runs in 5 stages: cold evacuation, pre-heating, hot evacuation, pre-cooling and main cooling. The 900 m³/h vacuum system reaches a maximum vacuum of 0.1 mbar abs; control by Siemens PLC with PID regulation.

THE SOLUTION STARTS WITH THE PROCESS
A process matched to the glass.
The process configuration (vacuum system, heating and cooling profile, controller program) is defined for the product and the production line. Design, manufacture, installation and service stay within one scope of cooperation.
Heating
Pre-heating of the glass/interlayer/glass sandwich, with the temperature profile controlled by the controller’s PID loops.
Cooling
Pre-cooling and main cooling, run from the same PLC, complete the 5-stage cycle.
Safety
Guarding, E-STOP buttons, light curtains and Festo interlocks in line with ISO 12100 and EN 60204-1.
REQUIREMENT → PARAMETER → DELIVERY → PROOF
Parameters,
not promises.
Every requirement has a parameter, a delivery method and proof that can be checked after commissioning.
| Requirement | Parameter | How we deliver | How we prove it |
|---|---|---|---|
| De-airing of the glass/interlayer/glass sandwich before lamination | 0.1 mbar abs, capacity 900 m³/h | Busch R5 pumps, cold evacuation before heating and hot evacuation during it | vacuum measured in every cycle |
| Repeatable temperature profile for every batch | 5 stages: cold evacuation, pre-heating, hot evacuation, pre-cooling, main cooling | Siemens PLC with PID regulation, stage parameters editable per product | parameters stored in the controller for each product |
| Operator safety | ISO 12100, EN 60204-1 | guarding, E-STOP buttons, light curtains, Festo interlocks | risk assessment to ISO 12100 and safety acceptance before machine handover |
| Bent and laminated glass for automotive | glazing for passenger cars, trucks and buses | vacuum, heating and cooling configured for the product geometry | machines in operation at a global industry leader, Saint-Gobain reference letter |
How does glass pre-lamination work in the B1 Machine?
Pre-lamination of laminated glass in the B1 Machine runs in 5 stages: cold evacuation, pre-heating, hot evacuation, pre-cooling and main cooling. Each stage has its own parameter set, stored in the controller and repeated for every batch.
The vacuum system on Busch R5 pumps has a capacity of 900 m³/h and reaches a vacuum of 0.1 mbar abs. Cold evacuation removes air from between the glass and the interlayer before heating; hot evacuation continues de-airing as the interlayer softens and begins to bond with the glass.
Siemens PLC control with PID regulation runs the heating and cooling temperature profile. Process parameters are fully editable, so one machine handles different products, including bent and laminated glass.
What safety features does the machine have?
Machine safety complies with ISO 12100 (risk assessment) and EN 60204-1 (electrical equipment of machines). Equipment: full guarding, E-STOP buttons, light curtains and Festo interlocks.
The design is modular: the vacuum system, heating and cooling sections and the control panel are matched to the line requirements, and the controls limit energy consumption while maintaining cycle throughput.
Which products and industries is it designed for?
Automotive: laminated glazing for passenger cars, trucks and buses, including bent glass. Construction: balustrades, facade glazing and partition walls in laminated glass. Glass technology: comprehensive processing of bent and laminated glass.
The machines operate at many companies in Poland and abroad, including a global leader of the glass industry. The design and supply of the furnace are confirmed by a Saint-Gobain reference letter.
The scope of cooperation covers design, manufacture, installation on the client’s line and service. The furnace and its controls are built in Katowice. The same team delivers HVAC and BMS control systems.
