Forel proud to represent “ Italian Excellence ” with an important display of its knowhow . Showcasing the very latest machine innovations with live demonstrations , Forel will also introduce enhancements in vertical edge processing , production with Thermoplastic and a fully integrated logistics system .
Important patent innovation Taking centre stage at glasstec will be an important patent innovation that allows for the accurate placement , dimension control and management of Thermoplastic spacer beyond twenty millimetres width . The development path that led to the latest enhancement began in 2020 after the Forel R & D team succeeded in improving critical aspects associated with the process . Their analysis of the extruded material led to innovations like the production control buffer , positioned inline between the thermoplastic applicator and press , to consolidate the materials characteristics with best coupling performance without compromising production performance . This methodology delivers safer and faster pressing , even when the profile height is 5.3 mm and the width plus 20mm . The need to expand the extruded width of thermoplastic spacer was client led and a new patent allows for 20mm plus spacer that ensures the optimal geometric position without deformation . Another aspect improved is the unloading phase generated
