Minimize logistics in lamination by installing an RCN loading conveyor

To increase efficiency means to install equipment that contribute to the proper functioning of the system.
Our loading conveyor has been designed to improve handling in lamination.
As a matter of fact, the use of this roller conveyor eliminates the need to use an overhead crane or other lifting equipment for glass handling.

The glass panels to be laminated are loaded directly from the preparation table to the conveyor by horizontal transfer.
By ensuring safety the RCN’s conveyor reduces the manual handling,of at least 30% and allows smooth product flow throughout the production process.

Built for durability in customizable dimensions, this conveyor pairs well the lifting platform releasing the glass to be laminated directly into the laminating bag.

Once loaded, the conveyor moves over the lifting platform and, going back, allowes the controlled release of the glass directly to the laminating bag, granting a precise, safe and efficient transfer. Then it returns to the original postion ready for a new load.

In other words: increased handling efficiency, improved operator safety and reduced costs

To automate means improving efficiency
There has been much discussion about automation in production and it is now a crucial matter for all the glaziers.
But why should you choose automatic machines?
Though it seems a simple question to reply to, it is something not so evident, especially because for some companies, this shift, it is an intricated procedure.
Technology is running fast and production with null or reduced human involvement is a reality, and to see a production site in total automatism conveys a sense of precision and order.
But what are the benefits of these investments?
An industrial automatic plant assures that every stage of the process carefully follows procedures and recipes. This result in a high quality product and the repetition of the correct operations by means of a traceability system.
There are several benefits three of which are fundamental:
Increase in productivity, major efficiency and cost-cutting.
Quality and efficiency are expected to increase, safety is under control and stress is reduced because repetitiveness of the jobs gives the way to flexibility and dynamism.
�
Some points of all these advantages have been summed up in our graphics:
- Maximation production time and costs
- Reduced operator intervention
- Less waste
- More safety
�
RCN too, as machinery manufacturer, supplies automatic versions with specific software for:
- Production flow control
- Bi-directional machine communication
- Immediate estimate production timeline
- Consumption data analysis (Ind. 5.0)
- Full remote control (Ind. 4.0)

In-House Design: the engineering of customization

For a few years now, production flexibility has been the distintive feature of our company.
The new generation has driven a significant evolution within the company. While building on our long-standing manufacturing expertise, they have progressively specialized in the design and manufacture of customized machines.

That’s because we consider every machine to be a unique project that meets specific requirements originating from careful listening to customers and created entirely by our in-house technical team.
Our projects are suits, tailored around customer’s production demands, thus expanding our offer and ensuring quality, attention to details, controls and fast decision-making.

It is a structured team effort that faces different perspectives through collaboration and expertise, supporting more innovative and effective solutions.

Project and design generate machines that meet important specifications such as:
- energy efficiency
- better safety
- relialiability and easy maintenance
- automation and process control
- norms compliance

In other words, in-house design is not merely a stage of the process; it is the core of our work.

In a high competitive glass market, machines design is a decisive value and we study solutions engineered to make a difference and will bring tangible benefits to customers too.

Curved glass: to invest in increasing production capacity.

There are three systems to bend glass: by gravity, by pressing, and recently by bending and tempering. All of them requires a hot process.

There is another one, cold bending which is often performed by using thin chemical tempered glass.

The first thing that comes to mind when we think about curved glass is the fluidity of the shapes, appearing softer, more natural and harmonious. And we are all fall in love with curved glass.

But there is more.

Curved glass has an important light interaction because its surface gradually modifies the direction of the rays of light, depending on the shpe.

RCN SOLUTIONS is specialized in manufacturing kilns for bending by gravity: the glass is heated and, under its weight, it slumps on a mold taking the shape without fusing completely.

But how to satisfy the demand for different curves and volumes?

RCN SOLUTIONS provides three lines of bending machines:

- ECO SPECIAL, the traditional line with one bending trolley and independent heating zones.
- FLOATING, with mobile or fixed top and bending trolleys
- ROTARY, four working positions: loading/unloading, heating, bending and cooling.

Different systems for uncountable possibilities. Which one will you choose?

Adding curved glass to your existing processing capabilities allows to meet a broader range of customers requiring high-specialized products.

Light but more resistant, namely, the glass chemically tempered.

Chemically tempered glass - also known as chemical strengthened glass - is a type of glass made more resistant to scratches, impacts, and cracking through a chemical process rather than heat treatment.

Valuable for the benefits it offers, among which design freedom, the chemical tempering of the glass is gaining visibility.

Based on ions exchange between sodium of the glass (NA+) and fused potassium salt (K+), the chemical process takes place at a temperature of about 450°C, after pre-heating at about 380°C.

It is a molecular strengthening process enhancing the glass resistance to impact, three times over the glass thermally tempered, and resistance to flexions, without modifying the optical features, thus granting high quality standard.

The process takes over a time of about 16 or 20 hours, necessary to ensure proper ion exchange and the achievement of the desired mechanical properties. This time can be reduced to 4 hours by using special glass suitable for chemical tempering and produced by the main glass manufactures.

The RCN’s CT line of machines has been designed to meet different requirements, from small glass units to big ones, from thin glass – 0.5mm – up to thick glass.
The picture shows one CT950 the biggest among the standard sizes, 3200x2200mm, but our offer is wider and customers can choose among different option, knowing that we are able to design customized solutions, tailoring each machine to the customer's requirements, facility layout, and manufacturing objectives.

REVA BF: a matter of decibel.

Noise is an annoying, issue especially when it continues overtime Noise is everywhere: road traffic, airplanes or simply loud neighbourgs which disturb our privacy, our sleep or concentration.

There are special glass panels providing sound barrier and also some special interlayers, some promising and some effective.
RCN has never considered this matter until we found out that REVA BF, our laminating interlayer, that has proved to have great transparency and adhesion (120N/cm2), high resistance to wet and humidity, as well as under severe weather conditions, has a new property.

A new detail is going to add to the above ones. We did not expect such significant values of the acoustic isolation with 2x0.76mm REVA BF, tests carried out by a Portuguese Institute and whose table results we are happy to share.

Whether specialized solutions are required, depends entirely on the context.

2026: it is Glasstec year

The glass community will gather at Glasstec, 20-23 October, Dusseldorf Exhibition Center, Germany.
“We are Glass”, this simple but catchy slogan of Glasstec reminds all of us this exhibition plays a key role in the glass industry.

Germany has historically been one of the European pillars of the glass industry.especially in sectors having high technological value. In the last few years, Germany, as many other European countries, has experienced high energy costs, building crisis, industrial slowdown and Eastern competition, but it remains highly focused on innovations and technology.

That’s why Glasstec keeps being “The World's Leading Trade Fair for the Glass Industry”, (source from Glasstec website, https://www.glasstec-online.com) admist glass art, decarbonization, digital technology and circular economy.

RCN is working to prepare its participation with interesting news and proposals for innovative machines at high performance. It is a corporate project, not just a matter of being there. During the four days exhibition, the aim is to show concrete innovations, carry out demonstrations, receive customers and potential ones, work that cannot be done without adequate preparation of both technical and commercial team.

When the lights of the show turns on, the coordination has been started months earlier to offer as much as we can in matter of care and attention by putting the customers’ needs at the centre of all our strategies.

RCN will be located in Hall 12, booth number C45. Stay tuned to know what you can see at our space.
