No-one keeps ordering more of the same, if they are unhappy with what they already have.

 

Glasswerks Group is one of the USA's most dynamic independent glass processors, consistently expanding and progressing throughout the North American continent.

 

In a recent move Glasswerks have built and equipped a most impressive, modern and efficient new facility in the heart of Los Angeles, incorporating some of the best glass-working machinery available worldwide.

That naturally includes fully automatic seaming lines from Ashton Industrial. Glasswerks already owns 4 Ashton FastTrak^TM lines installed in facilities around California and Texas.

 

But now, Glasswerks have invested in their 5th Ashton line, and it's the very latest design SeamMaX-X^TM high speed PLC controlled layout with fully automatic batching. Destined for their latest venture, a brand new facility in the east, this line will form an important part of Glasswerks' production flow, keeping costs under control while maximising output volumes and quality to guarantee their customers an unsurpassed service in all respects.

 

Ashton's BatchMasta^TM automatic batching eliminates human handling of glass between seaming, laser logo marking, and construction of batches of lites which are accumulated fully automatically prior to washing and tempering.

Especially in the case of coated glass, the ability to feed directly from optimised cutting and breaking without intermediate racking, keeps the glass horizontal throughout all processes right up to the tempered end product. That means less labour costs, less errors from operator fatigue, minimised risk of operator injury and of course less glass damage; the upper glass surface is never touched at any stage of the production sequence and the floor area is not filled with racks of glass waiting to be processed.
