MAXIMUM RELIABILITY
The mechanical division of LUBEN GLASS was created to meet customers’ needs by offering innovative solutions based on the production of components for forming machines and plants of various types, designed to satisfy the many functional requirements of both the hot end and the cold end. Thanks to the work of skilled technicians, we can supply standard items and/or items developed according to our customers’ specific requirements, always ensuring maximum product reliability.
DISTINCTIVE STRENGTHS
The use of superior-quality materials, together with design and production control phases supported by cutting-edge technologies, are the distinctive strengths of the LUBEN GLASS mechanical division. Thanks to its expertise, LUBEN GLASS can manage and oversee the production and supply of cast products, whether in cast iron, aluminum and/or other metals, even in small quantities, for both standard and customized production.
DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE FORMING CYCLE
Our deep knowledge of the production cycle for glass container manufacturing allows us to develop and produce both standard-code products and customized, innovative solutions. The mechanical division of LUBEN GLASS can produce all the components required for the bottle production cycle: from gob forming through to delivery of the container to the packaging area.
COMPLETE RANGE OF SERVICES
The plants division allows us to complete the range of services we offer to glassworks. LUBEN GLASS can design and manufacture plants and machinery specifically for the glass sector. The plants we produce are the result of versatile design, quality mechanical parts, reliable electronic components and the expertise of our operators.
ALWAYS OFFERING A SOLUTION
LUBEN GLASS can manufacture plants and machinery for both the hot end and the cold end, offering a broad range of solutions to the needs and problems our customers face every day. The main items we produce include lubrication units for forming machines
and production lines, blade lubrication systems, mold washing and polishing systems, cold-end bottle treatment systems and many others.
QUALITY IN PRODUCTION
Production quality is achieved through a machine fleet that is always kept in perfect working order and updated with the latest technologies available on the market. The high efficiency achieved in every production process allows us to provide the best response to every type of requirement. Production flexibility and the variety of machines and equipment allow us to adapt quickly to any customer need.
MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS
The chemical division was created for the sale of lubricants, oils and other products for the glass industry. Our products are designed for applications in both the hot end, such as blade lubrication oil, and the cold end, such as products for cold-end container treatment. To complete our product range, we can supply oils and other products such as polishing oil for molds and plungers.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
LUBEN GLASS works alongside its customers in the research and development of formulations that allow them to remain at the forefront and provide a successful foundation for the company itself and its end users. Aware that production processes and the final use of the chemical substances it sells have an impact on people and the environment, LUBEN GLASS considers compatible economic development one of its core values. For this reason, LUBEN GLASS is strongly committed to developing innovative products with environmentally compatible and eco-toxicological characteristics.
EFFICIENCY TO SURVIVE
In every glass plant and beyond, it is possible to reduce energy consumption and air pollution by aiming for a high level of efficiency; this can be achieved by analyzing every process with the belief that it can be improved.
LUBEN GLASS believes that the concept of “efficiency to survive” must be understood and applied with intelligence, simplicity and integration with existing systems.
For this reason, LUBEN GLASS can offer consulting and specific products to optimize the energy costs of the production process, obtaining all the related economic and environmental benefits.
THE HEAT OF THE GLASSWORKS
Thanks to partnerships with leading companies in the sector, we specialize in recovering heat emitted by annealing lehrs in the cold end. This heat is then used for winter climate control in unheated departments and to power chillers used for cooling areas such as electrical control rooms. This and other systems we offer, such as the use of ORC turbines to recover fumes emitted by the melting furnace, make it possible to achieve significant cost savings while respecting the environment.
THE SERVICE SYSTEM
By offering 360-degree consulting and responding with innovative solutions to customers’ specific requests, LUBEN GLASS can provide an efficient and reliable service system for maintenance and repairs, including at our customers’ individual production units. A dedicated service department allows us
to overhaul, repair and upgrade forming machines, mechanisms, plants and machinery, using dedicated components and also applying customized solutions.
INTEGRATED CONSULTING
Through an integrated consulting process, we work side by side with our customers to advise them, for example, in choosing the most suitable layout, the most appropriate forming machine and the variable equipment that can best contribute to producing the selected item. LUBEN GLASS can in fact set up forming machines starting from their basic structure through to the finished product.
