Why Choose SANKEN for Your Glass Silk Screen Printing Production Line?
Single-Colour and Multi-Colour Configurations
Single-colour, four-colour and five-colour line layouts are available as planning references. The number of printing stations and their arrangement are selected according to the required pattern, colour sequence and production capacity.

Servo-Controlled Printing
Servo control manages the printing squeegee and ink-return movements. PLC and touch-screen controls allow operators to manage line settings, with programmed protection functions for equipment operation.

Glass Positioning and Conveying
Glass positioning mechanisms and synchronized anti-slip conveyor belts support glass transfer and alignment through the printing process.

Screen Preparation Equipment
The supporting equipment covers mesh stretching, emulsion coating, exposure, developing and screen drying. This allows screen preparation requirements to be considered alongside the printing line.



Glass Silk Screen Printing Process

Glass Printing Workflow
Prepared Glass → Glass Positioning → Screen Printing → Drying or Curing as Required → Inspection

This is an outline for line planning. Glass preparation, ink drying or curing, and any subsequent heat treatment must be matched to the selected ink system and finished product. These stages do not imply that all equipment is included in every configuration.



Screen Preparation Workflow
Mesh Stretching & Frame Bonding → Emulsion Coating → Screen Drying → Exposure → Developing → Final Screen Drying

Screen preparation is a separate supporting process. The horizontal dryer is used after emulsion coating; the vertical dryer is used after screen cleaning and developing.




Glass Screen Printing Line Configurations
The printing line is configured around glass size, artwork, the number of colours and the required output. Multi-colour projects also require the colour sequence, alignment and drying or curing arrangements to be defined before the layout is finalized.


Single-colour configuration for a one-colour printing requirement.
Four-colour and five-colour configurations for projects requiring multiple colour stages.
PLC and touch-screen operation with servo-controlled printing movements.
Conveying and positioning equipment selected for the required glass format.



Screen Preparation and Supporting Equipment
Automatic Screen Stretching Machine
PLC and touch-screen controls manage mesh clamping and tension adjustment. After the mesh reaches the required tension, pneumatic lifting brings the screen frame into contact with the mesh for adhesive bonding.

At the test site, the technicians started the joint production line. After the original glass was processed by the high-precision edge grinding machine, it was seamlessly connected to the high-pressure air cleaning machine through the intelligent conveyor belt, without any manual intervention.



1.Pioneered positioning mode: Non touch glass after positioning probe switch. Longer life, more convenient operation and maintenance;

2.Patent structure, processing glass thickness 3~12mm;

3.All imported servo electronic, to make the equipment more stable and reliable;

4.Transmission using a toothed chain transmission, more stable, more static;

5.Opening & Closing using rack drive, speed up to 40 meters per minute, more accurate, more durable;

6.Hemline grinding function.



Glass Automatic Four Sides Edger is designed for glass chamfering with features of economy, efficiency and automatic identification of glass size and thickness. This machine is suitable for processing the construction glass, insulating glass of window and door and other different size flat glass with a large quantity. Being connected with other machines, the production efficiency can be improved deeply.



1.Adopt the servo-driven, annular timing belt and rubber roller for conveying and polyurethane wheel for press which ensures the stable glass transmission, accurate positioning and excellent grinding performance.

2.The automatic opening and closing mechanism of grinding motor and lateral pressing wheel are adopted the gear reducer and servo driver. Assembling with the ball screw rod, liner guide rail, pinion and rack, the mechanism can be accuracy.

3.The motor rotation system adopts the gear reducer and servo driver that make it position precisely.

4.Adopt limit switch probe positioning instead of touch glass that avoid the distress of parameters resetting due to the replacement of probe. This novel design greatly improves the life of the limit switch probe and makes the operation and maintenance more convenient.

5.Adopt human interface and PLC control system, easy operate.



Highly intelligent high-speed four-side grinding is widely used in the fine edge grinding of door and window glass. For developed countries, they need it very much, and for developing countries, which do not have high requirements for edge grinding quality, it will also be completely suitable for them. Use seaming machine to grind the edge to achieve the requirements of tempered edge grinding.
