PCT Global launched its latest innovation in the X-Line machinery range—the new horizontal X-Line coating machine. Known for easy-to-clean glass treatments offered by its flagship brand, EnduroShield, PCT Global continues to push boundaries with cutting-edge glass coating equipment.
About the X-Line
The X-Line machines, available in both vertical and horizontal orientations, provide single- and double-sided coating options. With the addition of the new horizontal orientation, it allows for the continuous online coating of glass when installed at the end of a tempering line, without the need for double handling. Alternatively, it can be operated as a stand-alone unit, with varying widths available.
Key features of the horizontal X-Line:
- Single- and double-sided coating in one pass: Offers versatile coating options to meet varying production needs.
- High speed: Continuous coating with line speeds of up to 14 meters per minute (46 feet/min).
- Seamless integration: Ability to treat multiple panels of glass side by side in batches directly from the tempering furnace, dramatically enhancing throughput and reducing labor.
- Built to last: The X-Line requires minimal maintenance and does not require frequent surface restoration from corrosion like some other competitor options.
"This new model represents a significant addition to our machinery offerings,” says Adrian Ray, director of global sales and marketing, PCT Global. "It allows glass fabricators to efficiently produce high-quality, easy-to-clean glass products while meeting delivery timelines and increasing profits. Our commitment to innovation and quality with no exclusive territory agreements ensures that our customers always have access to the best technology available."
