The Glas Industry

Transport and handling systems for flat glass

If sensitive handling of material is a must in the above-mentioned industries it is absolutely essential in the glass industry. Here, fault means breakage - and with glass pane dimensions of 6 x 3.21 m, breakage can mean a lot of broken glass!

Since SYSTRAPLAN was founded in 1974, the company has successful completed many panel handling projects across a variety of processing industries.
SYSTRAPLAN has established itself within the glass industry in Germany, Europe and elsewhere based on its “know how??? and expertise in the following sectors:

  • laminated glass handling
  • suface coating plants
  • mirror coating lines
  • processing of flat and convex cut-to-size glass


Design and installation of complete conveying systems for the glass industry

For example: glass feeding, laminated glass production, mirror coating, feeding and stacking systems for glass processing machines and safety-glass lines.
Complete electrical and control systems can be supplied with either conventional PLC logic or a VDU-based operation station.

Manufacture of feeding and stacking machines for glass processing plants

For example: feeding of a coating line for 6 x 3.2 m sizes (HKZ plant). The glass, stacked vertically in a frame, is picked up by a gantry handling device and then positioned onto a lifting table. The glass pick-up units consist of both vacuum and clamping systems.

Manufacture of individual sections of more extensive production lines

For example: Paper coating and stacking of glass jumbos (6 x 3.2m). The transportation and cyclical feed of the filled vertical stack frames uses hydraulic carriages without the need for pits.



SYSTRAPLAN has been developing standard concepts for
These standard concepts are then adapted to customer requirements.
