Keep Your Glass Lines Running
— Longer, Safer and More Predictably

Your glass operation runs 24/7. Every interruption impacts uptime, safety, scrap and cost. When conveying is stable, it is invisible. When it is not, it stops the line.

At Regal Rexnord, we help you reduce operational risk, extend equipment lifetime and simplify conveying across your entire glass manufacturing line.

You choose Regal Rexnord because you reduce risk of unplanned downtime and product rejects.

The Customer Reality

The Reality on Your Glass Line

Glass manufacturing places constant demands on your operation.

Glass manufacturing hot end

Continuous exposure to heat, glass shards and abrasive dust

Operator monitoring production controls

High cost of unplanned downtime in 24/7 production

Glass bottles on conveyor

Breakage that leads to cascading stops, scrap and clean up

Engineer performing maintenance work

Increasing maintenance pressure and loss of technical know how

Worker assembling conveyor components

Rising total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle

Small conveying issues quickly escalate into lost output and operational risk. Stability and lifetime are not nice to have — they are critical.

Our Role

Conveying Stability Is What Protects Your Operation

What matters on your line is not individual components, but predictable, stable flow from hot end to palletizing.

Regal Rexnord supports that stability by:

  • Designing conveying systems that last longer in abrasive glass environments
  • Applying deep glass industry expertise across hot end and cold end
  • Taking responsibility as one accountable conveying partner

The result is fewer disruptions, fewer interventions and more control over your operation.

System Thinking

One Continuous Conveying System Across Your Line

You experience conveying as one continuous flow — not as separate products.

That is why Regal Rexnord engineers conveying as a complete system:

Hot End
Forming & annealing
→
Discharge
Transition from hot to cold end
→
Accumulation
Buffer tables
→
Inspection
Quality control
→
End of Line
Packing & palletizing
Complete glass manufacturing process map showing conveying from furnace through container forming, lehr, inspection, labeler, case packer to palletizer
  • A consistent design philosophy from hot end to cold end
  • Optimized interaction between belts, chains, curves, transfers and accumulation
  • Stable flow through critical areas such as transfers, inspection and accumulation tables

By treating conveying as one integrated system, wear is reduced, instability is minimized and equipment lifetime is extended across your entire line.

Equipment Lifetime

Designed for Long Equipment Lifetime in Glass Manufacturing

Glass conveying is unforgiving. Materials and design directly determine how often you replace equipment and intervene on the line.

Regal Rexnord solutions are engineered specifically for glass manufacturing:

  • Abrasion resistant materials, specifically designed for the glass manufacturing industry. Tested in house and proven in glass environments
  • Designs that reduce wear, friction and tracking issues
  • Stable product handling that minimizes breakage and manual intervention

Material technologies such as BWX are developed to deliver long wear life under severe abrasive conditions — helping you reduce replacement frequency and lower total cost of ownership.
