Hornos Industriales Pujol

The LAM-PRO seiers ovens has been developed for companies seeking to achieve high performance at a low investment in mind, without compromising with it the excellent quality of the end product.
The LAM-PRO series incorporates unique and innovative features that make it a highly reliable solution. 

• Flexibility: Independent isolated work chambers, maximum heat distribution and energy efficiency, resulting in ultra-fast work cycles and a very low specific energy cost per sqm of laminated glass.
• Productivity: Automatic rapid cooling system thanks to  our  optimized  airflow  design,  the cold air inflow is distributed quickly and uniformly inside the chamber by a set of  high  pressure  fans  located  at  the rear of the oven. The TOP range consists of Pre-Vacuum Bottom Buffer + fast cooling.
• Software control system: Our highly customizable and full featured programmer and HMI allows to keep a continuous close watch of all key process variables such as: temperature- time segments, ramp functions, vacuum status, pressure level, cooling sequence or clock timers.
• Uniformity: Distributed double-layer radiation system that is reinforced with an air homogenization convection equipment by impulse fans “Pujol Impeller Convection  System®”,   this  translates into  a homogenization  of the  heat  in the chamber of +/- 3º  C.
• Ergoniomics: Our commitment to safety and health is embodied in the design of machines with  high ergonomics in order to improve the productivity of machine operators, thus minimizing  their  fatigue  and avoiding accidents.
• Bending: All oven chamber with bending laminating performance offers a 500mm internal height.
• Environmentally friendly energy savings:Thanks  to  the  consistency  and  reliability of our fast cycles, and the control and versatility of our software, it is possible to automate and leave the oven unattended during some phases of the process. This makes it possible, for example, to program the oven at a specific time of the night and without the presence of operators, in order to take advantage of the hours with the lowest electricity consumption costs the hours of lower electricity consumption cost and in a more efficient way.
• Vacuum bag with Ω letter design closure: The vacuum bag is manufactured with a pioneer perimeter closure with Ω letter- shaped design which allows a safe and effective closure that in addition to ensuring a  tight  seal,  offers the  user  an  easy  and quick operation of closing and opening the bag.
• Free distorsion glass with no excess EVA on the edges: Our  original  high-performance  vacuum bags contribute to a final product without excess EVA on the edges, saving time and additional operator costs for edge cleaning. The high elongation of the bags helps to reduce  pressure  and  stress  on  the  edges of the glass, avoiding bending effects and improving optical quality compared to traditional bags.

• Ready for Industry 4.0 The LAM-PRO series (DUO & TOP) incorporates as standard the PUJOL e-Connect system which allows to obtain remotely and securely the  traceability  of  the  process,  as  well  as to perform tele-assistance and production control services.

Glass treated using Hornos Pujol’s chemical tempering system offers significant advantages over heat-treated glass:

• These include: absolute transparency without the waves that cause optical distortions or anisotropy appearing in the glass after its installation.
• Greater safety owing to the substantial increase in the mechanical properties of the material.
• Reduced structural or hardware costs: higher quality or performance due to the reduced thickness of the glass, but also due to its lightness.
• This reduces the cost of laminated glass due to its perfect planimetry. Minimises the number of layers to be laid, as well as the thickness of glass to be used.
• High flexural strength. Owing to its improved mechanical properties, it is able to better absorb the stresses produced by permanent and variable loads that are placed on it.
• Highly scratch resistant: the chemical change produced in the glass thanks to Hornos Industriales Pujol’s Pujol-TQ System composite provides it with greater hardness. This makes it much more difficult to scratch this glass.

Automatic line

Complete high production line for the automation of EVA and/or PVB laminated glass production. This reduces production costs and increases laminated glass quality through the automatic alignment of the glass without taping or effort on the part of the operator. By automating this process, less additional machinery is required and directly lowers the cost.

This type of plant is fully adapted to customer needs. Plant designs can be adjusted to suit the space according to factory layout.

This increases production of laminated glass and generates cost savings.

Semi-automatic Line

This is a manually moving and automatically adjusted line which improves the quality of the laminated glass owing to greater precision in the alignment of the two or three sheets of glass to be assembled.

The semi-automatic production line was designed to help the operator achieve accurate centring of the glass layers, thereby speeding up and facilitating this procedure.

The semi-automatic line consists of the following elements:

• 50x28 elevating table (optional) which inserts and removes trays containing glass sheets from the different oven levels.
• Centring table that uses conveyor bearing which help the operator position the glass to the centred position.
• Assembly tables that contain conical bearings.
• Mobile handling unit with a mobile structure on a guide-rail to facilitate manual movement. It is also equipped with an elevating device and suction cups to transport the glass.
• Manual cutter (3 positions). EVA roll holder (up to three rolls) which also allows manual cutting of EVA once it is placed on top of the glass.
• Light overhead crane. Structure with a handling unit to move the glass.

Manual line

This is a manual production line with easier placement of both sheets of glass and film cutting for perfect assembly.

It is manually adjustable, which means that some intervention is required on the part of the operator, although it facilitates the EVA laminating process. This means greater cost savings and improved quality of finished product.

Designed by the Hornos Pujol engineering team, this plant can fully adapt to the needs of the glass processor. Plant designs can be adjusted to suit the space according to factory layout.

White rooms

This room is fast becoming a necessity among professional glass processors. Its characteristics ensure hygienic conditions which in turn maximise the quality of the final laminated composite. A white room guarantees that the glass will not come into contact with dust after exiting the washing machine, which minimises the risk of inclusions.

This custom-built structure considers the characteristics of the manufacturing area and the placement of its machinery. This optimises available space and investment.

Other advantages of our washing machines:

• Perfect washing of layered laminated glass.
• Entry and exit lengths designed for comfortable operation.
• Optimisation of working height.
