    Glass rolling machine for continuous production of photovoltaic (PV) glass

    The solar glass rolling machine works as the main forming unit in a rolled glass production line. Positioned between the melting furnace and the annealing lehr, it works together with the lift-out roller to shape the glass ribbon while it is still hot and flexible. Through this forming process, the glass processing line can reliably produce ultra-thin glass sheets with thicknesses down to 1.1 mm, while keeping stable mass production at around 1.4 mm thickness. It can also handle panels up to 4000 mm wide, which are widely used for manufacturing large solar modules. Since the glass rolling system works with high precision, the glass processing line reaches yield rates above 85%, ensuring consistent production of PV glass with excellent light transmission.

    Equipment Details
    • Main Rolling Machine Unit
      Main Rolling Machine Unit
      The main part of the rolling machine includes the rollers that shape the glass, support rollers, the drive system, cooling units, and an air-cushion system. It also has adjustment controls on all sides, so operators can set the position of the rollers and keep the glass sheet even and stable while it’s being formed.
    • Lift-Out Roller
      Lift-Out Roller
      The lift-out roller has a sturdy steel frame, with cooling water running inside the tubes to keep it from bending under high heat. This design helps the glass stay stable as it moves through the forming stage.
    • Pressure Rods
      Pressure Rods
      Two pressure rods are installed on the upper part of the rolling machine, one on the drive side and the other on the non-drive side. Each rod can push with up to 20 tons of force, giving the machine the strength to keep the glass ribbon flat and under control while it’s being shaped.

    To keep raw materials flowing evenly, the system uses two drive stations and three clutches that can be combined in different ways. This makes the feeding shovels move together in sync, so the material is delivered continuously without interruptions.

    The box is built with precise welding, so it doesn’t bend or lose shape, and then it’s heat-treated to make it even stronger. Inside, stronger stainless-steel plates are used, which can handle high temperatures without losing stability. This makes the box more reliable in daily use and lowers the risks that usually come with long-term operation.

    The lift-out roller table is built with a steel frame that has a circulating water system inside. This cooling setup prevents the frame from bending or losing shape when exposed to high heat. The bearings are also water-cooled, which reduces wear and extends their service life. Thanks to this design, the machine can keep running reliably even during long periods of continuous production at high temperatures.

    The stirring depth can be adjusted depending on production needs. As the blades move, they generate vortexes in the molten glass that collide and mix together. This motion helps mix the molten glass thoroughly, making sure it stays even in both composition and quality before it goes into the forming stage.
