Automatic Glass Film Applicator
SANKEN SKFS series applies protective and process films to glass using PLC and touch-screen control. The machine supports single-sided or double-sided application, with automatic glass positioning, heating, film application and film cutting.
Four models cover maximum glass sizes from 1250 × 2500 mm to 1950 × 3200 mm. All four process glass 2–19 mm thick at speeds of 1–8 m/min, allowing model selection around the glass format and film requirements.
Main Features
PLC and Touch-Screen Control
The PLC system coordinates positioning, heating, film application and film cutting. Operators use the touch-screen interface to control the application process.
Single-Sided and Double-Sided Application
Select single-sided or double-sided film application according to the glass protection or downstream processing requirement. Confirm the required film arrangement when specifying the machine.
Automatic Glass Positioning
The machine positions the glass before film application, coordinating the panel with the conveying and application stages.
Automatic Heating and Film Application
Heating and film application are automatically controlled as part of the processing sequence. Match the operating settings to the selected film and glass surface.
Automatic Film Cutting
The machine cuts the film as part of the application cycle, coordinating film handling with glass transport.
Rubber Roller Conveying
Rubber conveying rollers support glass movement through the machine. The rollers have heat- and corrosion-resistant characteristics for the application environment.

Processing speed is glass transport speed through the applicator. Finished-panel output depends on panel size, spacing, film setup and the application process.
Select the model using the maximum and minimum glass dimensions required for production.
Film Applications
Protective Film for Finished Glass
Apply a suitable protective film to cover the surface of finished glass during handling, storage or subsequent operations. Select the film for the glass surface and the intended removal conditions.
Masking Film for Glass Sandblasting
Apply compatible masking film for the subsequent pattern preparation and sandblasting workflow. Coordinate the film properties with the intended pattern-making and blasting process.
Film for Glass Screen-Printing Workflows
The applicator can apply suitable process film used in glass screen-printing operations. Send the film specification and intended application stage to confirm the required configuration.
Application Workflow
1. Select the Film and Glass Format
Confirm film type, roll dimensions, the glass size range and whether single-sided or double-sided application is required.
2. Prepare and Feed the Glass
Prepare the glass surface for the selected film and feed the panel into the conveying section.
3. Position, Heat and Apply
The machine coordinates automatic positioning, heating and film application according to the selected operating settings.
4. Cut the Film
Automatic film cutting completes the application sequence for the panel.
5. Inspect and Transfer
Inspect film coverage and adhesion for the intended operation, then transfer the panel to handling, storage or the next process.

Workshop Layout and Installation
Plan the applicator between glass preparation and the required downstream operation. Leave space for incoming and outgoing panels, film roll replacement and routine servicing.
Coordinate the machine working direction and transfer arrangement with nearby handling equipment. Use the machine dimensions in the parameter table to plan placement and provide additional working clearance.
Confirm the electrical supply for the selected 3.85–5.50 kW model and the film storage and operating conditions needed for the chosen material.
