Glass handling refers to the handling of glass materials at various stages of their life cycle, including manufacturing, transportation, storage, processing, installation and recycling. Glass is used in many industries including construction, automotive, retail and electronics. Here are some aspects of glass handling in which we are active:
- Production:
- The glass manufacturing process involves melting raw materials such as sand, lime and soda at high temperatures. The resulting glass is formed into various products including flat glass for windows, mirrors or glass products for various applications. The resulting glass is shaped into various products or blanks. Depending on the shape and type, robots or handling manipulators are increasingly being used in the manufacturing process.
- Security:
- Due to the risk of breakage, handling glass requires special safety measures. This includes the use of personal protective equipment, safe work practices and training for employees. In order to minimize the dangers for employees, robots and manipulators are increasingly being used and take over the various handling steps.
Efficient glass handling is crucial to ensure quality and safety. In many cases, specialized equipment such as vacuum cleaners, crane systems and special transport vehicles are required to safely handle glass.
