UNIX TRIPLE
Heavy duty triple belt wet seamer for premium edge finishing.
The Ashton Industrial UNIX TRIPLE is a compact wet-running glass seaming (arrissing) and flat edge grinding machine designed for efficient edge finishing of flat glass panels prior to tempering or further processing.
Summary
The UNIX Triple is a professional heavy-duty cross-belt seaming machine designed to process the top arris, bottom arris, and flat edge of glass simultaneously. By incorporating a third vertical grinding belt, it delivers a superior edge finish in a single pass, making it ideal for applications where edge appearance, strength, and safety are critical.
Key Features
-
Triple belt grinding system: Three independently mounted grinding belts simultaneously process the top arris, bottom arris, and flat edge of the glass in one operation.
-
Single-pass edge finishing: Produces a smooth, consistent edge without requiring a secondary grinding process.
-
Removable centre belt: The vertical edge belt can be removed when only conventional two-belt seaming is required, providing operational flexibility.
-
Heavy-duty construction: Built from robust industrial-grade steel and components for long-term reliability in demanding production environments.
-
Wet grinding system: Water-cooled grinding belts provide excellent edge quality while minimizing heat build-up and extending belt life.
-
Flexible belt options: Compatible with diamond, silicon carbide, or conglomerate belts depending on production requirements and desired finish.
Benefits
-
Superior edge quality: Simultaneously finishes the edge face and both arrises, producing a cleaner, safer, and stronger finished edge.
-
Increased productivity: Eliminates the need for a secondary flat-edge grinding operation, reducing processing time.
-
Improved edge strength: Produces higher-quality edges suitable for tempering and demanding architectural or furniture applications.
-
Operational flexibility: Can operate as either a traditional two-belt seamer or a full triple-belt edge finishing machine.
-
Industrial reliability: Heavy-duty construction ensures dependable performance during continuous production.
Overall
The UNIX Triple is a robust industrial seaming machine designed for glass processors who require a higher standard of edge finishing than conventional seaming (arrissing) alone can provide. Its unique triple-belt configuration enables premium edge quality in a single pass while maintaining the durability, simplicity, and reliability expected from the Ashton UNIX range. It is particularly suited to manufacturers producing furniture glass, shelving, appliance glass, louvre blades, and architectural products where finished edge quality is essential.
