Full-Automatic PVB Laminated Glass Production Line
SANKEN SKPL-A series integrates automatic glass loading, washing, conveying, positioning, suction transfer, motorized PVB film unwinding, assembly and pre-lamination pressing. Siemens PLC and touch-screen control coordinate the production stages for laminated glass preparation before final autoclave processing.
Six models cover maximum glass sizes from 2000 × 3000 mm to 3300 × 6000 mm, with a processing thickness range of 6–80 mm. Choose the line around the largest glass format, laminate structure, required output and available workshop space.
Production Line Views
Automatic Processing Sections
Automatic Glass Loading
The loading section feeds glass into the line and connects the incoming handling stage with washing and downstream assembly.
Automatic Washing and Conveying
The washing section prepares the glass surfaces before lamination. Conveying sections transfer the panels through the line at an adjustable speed of 1–5 m/min.
Automatic Glass Positioning and Suction Transfer
Positioning and suction transfer equipment move glass into the assembly sequence. Coordinated movement supports the placement of the glass layers around the selected interlayer.
Motorized PVB Film Unwinding
Motorized unwinding supplies PVB film to the assembly area. Plan film storage, roll changes and handling conditions around the selected film dimensions and laminate structure.
Assembly and Pre-Lamination Pressing
The assembly section brings together the glass and interlayer before the laminate passes to the automatic pre-lamination pressing section. The prepared laminate then continues to the final bonding process.
Automatic Tilting
The line includes an automatic tilting section to support transfer after pre-lamination. Coordinate the discharge arrangement with the handling equipment and autoclave loading route.
Siemens PLC and Touch-Screen Control
The control system coordinates the automatic sections through a touch-screen interface. Configure production settings around the glass dimensions, laminate structure and process requirements.

Production efficiency and area capacity depend on glass size, laminate structure, interlayer handling and operating conditions. Conveying speed is the transport speed of the line, rather than completed laminates per minute.
Occupied-space figures describe the line arrangement. Plan additional areas for glass storage, interlayer storage, the lamination room, maintenance access, autoclave handling and supporting utilities. Confirm the complete equipment list and power requirements for the project.
Laminated Glass Production Process
Glass Loading → Washing & Drying → Conveying & Positioning → Glass and Interlayer Assembly → Pre-Lamination Pressing → Transfer → Autoclave Processing
1. Prepare the Glass and Interlayer
Select glass dimensions, thicknesses and interlayer specifications for the intended laminate. Organize incoming glass and film supply before the production run.
2. Load, Wash and Position
Automatic loading feeds the glass to the washer. The cleaned panels move through positioning and transfer equipment toward the assembly area.
3. Assemble the Glass Layers
The assembly area combines the glass panels with PVB film supplied from the motorized unwinding section. The line can be configured for laminates containing two or more glass layers.
4. Pre-Laminate and Transfer
The assembled stack passes through pre-lamination pressing, then continues to the downstream handling arrangement for autoclave preparation.
5. Complete Final Bonding
A separate autoclave carries out the final heat-and-pressure bonding process for the selected PVB laminate. Coordinate the autoclave working size, batch capacity and cycle requirements with the upstream line.
Glass Sizes and Interlayer Selection
Six Full-Automatic Models
SKPL-2030A, SKPL-2040A, SKPL-2540A, SKPL-2560A, SKPL-3060A and SKPL-3360A provide different maximum formats and production capacities. All six have a minimum glass size of 300 × 420 mm and a processing thickness range of 6–80 mm.
PVB and SGP Project Requirements
The line is configured around the glass and interlayer selected for the project. For SGP interlayer requirements, confirm film handling, assembly and downstream processing settings with SANKEN before equipment selection.
Architectural Laminated Glass
Laminates can be specified for facade glazing, windows, railings, roof glazing and other architectural applications. Final performance depends on the glass build-up, interlayer, processing quality and project requirements.
Factory Layout and Autoclave Connection
Arrange incoming glass, washing, the lamination room, pre-lamination pressing and autoclave transfer in a connected production flow. Keep the assembly area and interlayer handling conditions suited to the selected film.
The production-line space ranges from 35 × 6 × 4 m to 50 × 7.3 × 4 m across the six models. Coordinate these dimensions with the actual equipment arrangement, working direction and surrounding handling areas.
A PVB lamination area can be planned with a separate autoclave, transfer rails, air compressor and air treatment equipment. Select their capacities and utilities for the laminate dimensions and required production schedule.
The factory layout reference combines glass washing, a lamination room, pre-lamination pressing and autoclave transfer. We adapt the arrangement and automatic handling sections to your selected SKPL-A model and workshop dimensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which models are included?
The full-automatic series includes SKPL-2030A, SKPL-2040A, SKPL-2540A, SKPL-2560A, SKPL-3060A and SKPL-3360A.
What is the difference between the A and S series?
The A series uses automatic loading, suction transfer and motorized film unwinding as part of the assembly arrangement. The S series is a separate semi-automatic configuration with more manual film handling and assembly work.
What is the largest glass size?
SKPL-3360A handles glass up to 3300 × 6000 mm. Smaller models cover 2000 × 3000 mm, 2000 × 4000 mm, 2500 × 4000 mm, 2500 × 6000 mm and 3000 × 6000 mm.
What thickness range can the line process?
The processing thickness range is 6–80 mm. Confirm the complete laminate build-up, including individual glass layers and interlayers, when configuring the line.
Does pre-lamination pressing replace the autoclave?
The pre-lamination section prepares the assembled laminate for downstream processing. Final bonding for the selected PVB process takes place in a separate autoclave.
Can the line process SGP interlayers?
Send the SGP film specification and laminate structure so we can confirm the interlayer handling configuration and processing requirements.
What information should I send for a quotation?
Send maximum and minimum glass sizes, the laminate build-up, interlayer type and dimensions, required output, factory drawing, available utilities and any existing autoclave details.
