Glass Manufacturing Spray Applications
In glass manufacturing, a coating's consistency and performance determine its real-world effectiveness. For bottles, surface treatments boost scratch resistance, reduce scuffing on high-speed lines, and minimize breakage during filling and transport. For flat glass, uniform coatings enhance durability, support further processing, and improve adhesion of subsequent layers, contributing to long-term performance in architectural and automotive applications.
Flat Glass Spray Applications
After flat glass exits the furnace, a thin, uniform chemical layer is applied to protect it from corrosion and discoloration during storage, transport, and installation. Getting that coating right matters: uneven application leads to defects, chemical waste, and increased scrap.
Our automated flat glass coating system uses PulsaJet® nozzles that respond in real time to changes in glass width and speed. Sensors trigger the relevant spray zones automatically, while the controller adjusts flow and dosing continuously to maintain consistent, uniform coverage across the full ribbon - with minimal waste and no need for manual intervention.
Solar Panel Flat Glass Coating
Flat glass coating plays a crucial role in protecting solar panels from the elements. After the glass exits the furnace, a precise chemical layer is applied. This coating shields the glass from corrosion, discoloration & grime, factors that can seriously reduce a panel’s performance over time.
Cleaning Applications for Flat Glass Production
Start with a spotless ribbon by integrating our high-impact cleaning application at the hot end or cold end of the line. Custom spray headers sweep away tin-bath residues, dust and seeds with precisely metered water or detergent, preventing defects before they form. Larger orifice nozzles and automated flushing routines slash clogging and water consumption, keeping uptime high and maintenance low.

Bottle Scuffing
Returnable glass bottles take a beating on high-speed filling lines - the longer they stay in circulation, the more visible scuffing builds up. Left untreated, that surface wear damages your brand image and shortens bottle service life.
Our OptiCoat® system tackles this directly. Developed in partnership with chemical producer Arkema, it combines Arkema's OptiCoat® grade 240 chemical agent with our compact single-line applicator and PulsaJet® nozzles. Precision Spray Technology ensures a precisely measured dose is applied to every bottle, every time - eliminating over-application, reducing chemical waste, and extending the life of your returnable packaging.

Why Optimized Flat Glass Spray Applications Matter
When spray parameters are dialled-in, you gain measurable advantages:
- Uniform quality 24/7 - Precision Spray Control (PSC) maintains a constant spray angle and droplet size even as ribbon width, thickness or speed change, guaranteeing even coverage across the full ribbon.
- Less scrap and lower chemical use - Customers have cut scrap by up to 75% and reduced coating consumption by 60% after switching to an automated AutoJet® Flat Glass Coating System.
- Sustainability built-in - Closed-loop dosing slashes over-mist, water and chemical waste while optional reverse-osmosis units protect the environment and your equipment.
- Consistent coverage on dynamic, high-speed lines: Our precision-controlled systems have been proven to accommodate high-speed lines with varying widths and sizes. The system automatically fine-tunes zoning, flow, and dosing in real time, ensuring uniform coverage where manual systems fall short.
Our engineered flat glass spray applications are purpose-built to overcome each of these hurdles.
