FeneVision Clean Roller Robot powered by Eurotech Way
Automate tempering oven roller cleaning and reduce fabrication defects with Clean Roller Robot
Clean rollers are critical to making high quality tempered glass and
avoiding liability and customer dissatisfaction issues. Dirty rollers
carry debris that gets fused under high temperature into your glass.
These fabrication defects often go undetected until a cleaning crew or
homeowner uses a scraper to clean the surface.
But keeping your rollers imperfection free with manual procedures is a challenge.
It takes too long and can damage rollers. It’s tempting to clean less often than you should.
Fortunately, there is now an automated, consistent and convenient
method to thoroughly clean, smooth and polish tempering oven rollers:
Clean Roller Robot.
A fused silica roller cleaning breakthrough
Whether they are immediately visible or not, defects created
during or discovered after tempering happen at the worst
possible time. The glass has been fabricated and is almost
finished. As the tempering oven can be a bottleneck, you can
miss a delivery if you have to remake.
The glass fabrication equipment experts at Italian company
Eurotech Way performed extensive research on how to conveniently
revive fused silica rollers with smooth, clean and long lasting
polished surfaces. They used these insights to develop Clean
Roller Robot. |

A robotic system, smart PLC controls
Clean Roller Robot does its work by proceeding systematically
through your tempering ovens.
It cleans, polishes and removes dust from rollers two at a time.
Using the rotation energy of the furnace rollers without
manual intervention, Clean Roller Robot automatically moves
ahead on the rollers.
The PLC controls guarantee synchronized movement of the
cleaning heads and disk rotation. Each roller’s entire surface
is perfectly cleaned, polished and comes out practically better
than new.

Consistently produce cleaner tempered glass
With Clean Roller Robot, you reduce the time to clean your rollers while increasing the
quality of your glass. It does not remove any part of the expensive rollers, just what is on
the surface. It is practical, safe and proven in use.
Because Clean Roller Robot is easy to run, you can clean more often.
You need just a one-day break in your tempering schedule to cool, clean
and restart your oven.
Cleaning time varies based on the length of the oven. But is drastically reduced over,
and more thorough and consistent than manual procedures.
The PLC controls can accommodate and remember the parameters for multiple ovens so you
can potentially service multiple furnaces.
Consistently produce cleaner tempered glass
With Clean Roller Robot, you do away with mops, rags and manually removing, cleaning and
replacing rollers. Gone are struggles to remove persistent imperfections like sodium sulfate
deposits and nodules, which can pit the rollers when done incorrectly.
You also drastically reduce those startup junk glass runs to remove any lingering debris
or dust after cleaning. Instead, you can run just a small number of junk glass pieces and get
right back to tempering.
