The market for glass processing machinery

The current glass processing machinery market size is estimated at 1.8 میلیارد دلار آمریکا. Glass processing machinery is critical in modifying glass for specialized purposes in a wide range of industries, including automotives, construction, لوازم الکترونیکی مصرفی, furniture, and solar energy. 

The growth of these industries is expected to drive the global market demand for glass processing machinery, and with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) ٪۱۰۰, the market size is expected to reach 2.1 میلیارد دلار تا سال 2026.

Geographically, in 2022, the U.S. market size is valued at US $369.7 million, representing 20.9% of the global market. On the other hand, the Asia pacific region is expected to register the highest growth rate, with China in particular projected to reach a market share of 533 میلیون دلار آمریکا توسط 2026. 

4 tips for selecting glass processing machinery

There is a lot of glass processing equipment available on the market. Here are the tips or factors to consider when choosing the right machinery for your business.

1. Determine the glass specifications and thickness 

Firstly, it is important to select the machinery based on the size and scale of glass to be processed. For instance, in terms of the glass’s cross-section, choose the machinery according to the kind of glass you will be dealing with such as round glass, square glass, and angle iron. 

Similarly, consider the state of glass that you will be working with when choosing the machinery such as whether you’ll be dealing with flat glass, art glass or laminated glass.

2. Choose the equipment model based on production needs

Secondly, you should aim to select glass processing machines based on your production needs. For instance, shape edging machines bring down glass edges. Buying this type of glass machinery may be good if your business deals with custom projects such as working with round windows, church windows, and high-architectural projects.

That said, it is key to establish your business needs before buying any glass processing machine, and ensuring the machine is suitable for the kinds of projects you will primarily be dealing with.

3. The level of stability and precision

It’s also very important to keep in mind that when selecting a glass processing machine, stability and precision are crucial factors to consider. The mechanical pieces of the machinery should be sturdy and flat, and its important to examine the alignment of the guide rails on either side. 

In addition, establish how to prevent the mechanical parts from getting damaged and how to restore them following deformation. Typically, deformed mechanical parts affect the machinery’s stability and precision, resulting in inefficiency in production and low-quality output.

4. The machine’s functions

And finally, the functionality of the machine is key in determining its performance. For instance, if it’s a glass cutting machine, find out if the machine can automatically control the pressure and whether or not it has a lower knife limit feature. It is important to closely examine the machine’s function because it affects its capabilities and suitability to the kind of manufacturing you intend to do.
