Automotive Glass Production

Ceramic Ink Drying

Casso-Solar Ceramic Ink Drying Systems lead the industry in processing water base, water miscible, terpinal and pine oil based inks, leaded or lead free. Special attention is given to maximize green strength on low resin content inks, allowing for safe overprinting and handling. Cooling systems are designed to bring glass and ink temperatures to or below ambient. Dryers are compact, energy efficient with little maintenance over years of service life. Casso-Solar works closely with the ceramic ink manufacturers and maintains an extensive library on current inks used in the industry.

Windshield Bending Systems

Windshield Bending Systems for automotive O.E.M. and aftermarket bus, truck, aircraft and recreational vehicles. Single Station, Shuttle and Multi-Station Serial Benders. Production rates of 5-60 units per hour up to 72" x 120", doublets and multi-layer bullet proof glass to 2" thick. Casso-Solar Multi-zone Graphical User Computer Control for complex shapes with localized programmable 3-Axis Crease Heaters that follow the glass as it bends in the tight radius areas. Menu storage allows for easy recipe recall and the ability to process different parts within the same system allowing for short production run mixes.

Windshield Preheat and Tacking Ovens

Continuous preheat and tacking ovens to allow for proper de-airing of windshields and to tack the glass for further processing in the autoclave. Glass temperatures exiting the preheat are 110-120°F and exiting the tacking oven at 180-190°F. Medium wavelength heaters penetrate the glass to heat the PVB/glass interface. Designed for either short edge or long edge leading. Ovens also available for vacuum ring applications, batch or continuous.

Architectural Glass Production

Spandrel Glass Products

Spandrel glass or fully coated/decorated sheets of glass are precisely made with a Casso-Solar reverse roll coater, large area semi-automatic screen printer and infrared drying/curing system. Ceramic, epoxy, silicone and enamel inks can be applied to created mosaic patterns, marble effects, geometric decorations,etch finishes and solid sheet colors. Glass sizes from standard to jumbo sheets. Ceramic inks are fired into the glass as part of a tempering or annealing operation.

Laminating Lines for Safety, Security and Bullet Proof Glass (PDF)

Laminating lines consist of an entry washer; temperature controlled lay up room with PVB unwind stands, overhead glass transfer assists and pop-up caster tables; preheat ovens to bring laminate to 110-120°F prior to first de-airing press; oversized roll de-airing press; tacking oven to bring the laminate to 160-180°F; final tacking press and unload conveyor with overhead assist. Recommendations for new and used autoclaves are provided. Also available in Autoclaveless configuration.

Bending Systems for Laminated Glass and Furniture Glass

Casso-Solar single station, shuttle and serial benders can provide glass for architectural, showcase, furniture cabinets and tables. System sizes designed to fit load requirements of the customer. Computer control systems available with automatic setup and recipe storage.

Decorative & Appliance Glass

Screen Printers and Drying/Curing Systems

Independent or integrated systems consisting of semi-automatic or auto-registration, heavy duty four post screen printers, with electric or gas infrared drying systems. Cooling systems can be provided to allow for multiple in-line printing stations.

Firing & Annealing Lehrs for Flat Glass, CRT's and Container Glass

Rolling Hearth Conveyors with Radiant Cooling

Casso-Solar Rolling Hearth furnaces use a unique drive system eliminating the need for end caps on the fused silica rolls. All roll surfaces run at precisely the same speed. Radiant cooling systems allow for annealing of all types of glass products that may have been coated or decorated with high temperature firing inks.

Specialty Applications

Casso-Solar prides itself in its ability to custom design systems to our customer's needs. Specialty applications such as shatter resistant teflon coating light bulbs, curing coatings on Television Picture Tubes, Solar Energy Collectors and LCD computer displays are some of the many projects we have worked on with our customers.

Computer Controlled Graphical Interfaces allow automatic setup and Operation of systems from stored recipes. System Diagnostics monitors all components to alert the operator of faults. All functions are data logged for a permanent record.
