Innovation and cutting-edge technologies for glass processing
Preparations are in full swing for Forel’ s participation in Vitrum 2025, a leading international exhibition for machinery, equipment, and systems for the glass industry.
From September 16th to 19th, the Fiera Milano Rho exhibition centre will be the epicentre of glass industry innovation. An exhibition space strategically designed to showcase our most advanced technology and sophisticated solutions for flat glass processing. We will particularly highlight our hightech line for producing insulated glass and our cutting-edge solutions for vertical glass edge processing. These automated platforms demonstrate Forel’ s ongoing commitment to innovation, performance and quality within the sector. Within the insulating glass unit segment, Forel will present its latest technology for the extrusion and placement of thermoplastic spacer, specifically designed for advanced IGU’ s. Protected by an international patent, this innovative solution allows for the extrusion of profiles exceeding 20 millimetres and marks a significant step forward in the production of highperformance insulating glass. The new extrusion technology and technique ensures a stable and secure process, which eliminates the risk of the profile from deforming and guarantees consistent product quality. This advancement directly addresses the increasing demand for insulating glass with enhanced thermal and acoustic performance capabilities. The focus will also be on the latest innovations in vertical glass edge processing as we present a newly configured vertical grinding machine that offers superior performance in operation and output. This new module can easily interrogate with IGU production lines, as well as automatic glass sorting and handling systems.“ Positioned at the head of the insulating glass line, this next-generation machine has been developed to optimize workflow, reduce cycle times, and increase overall process efficiency. The Sorting System for completed IGU panels will also take part in our display, this automated system represents an effective response to the logistical downstream challenges of insulating glass production. Thanks to intelligent handling, this smart Sorting System can unload, transport and organize finished units without the need for any manual intervention. This directly translates into greater efficiencies reducing time, cost and management associated with internal logistics, as well as minimizing the risk of product damage. As always, Forel continues to drive a strong path to growth through innovation as just in the past year alone, we have filed multiple new patents and expanded our manufacturing base with a 9,000 square meter extension to our production space. Amidst all of that, we’ ve also launched our new headquarters for Northern Europe based in Mönchengladbach, Germany. With this initiative, Forel North Europe confirms its geographical commitment to serving and supporting
