The LiSEC Group has acquired an majority shareholding in LamiPress GmbH, headquartered in Marl, Germany, and is therefore expanding its offering in the laminated glass production area. With LamiPress, LiSEC is expanding its range with an innovative, economical, highly flexible solution to manufacture laminated safety glass (LSG).

LamiPress: Autoclave quality – without autoclaves

LamiPress is a lamination system to manufacture LSG using PVB‑ and SGP‑foils. The system achieves certified quality at autoclave‑level but without classic autoclaves, without pre-lamination line and without vacuum bags. The capability of the laminates produced using LamiPress has been tested and confirmed by leading foil manufacturers Kuraray and Eastman.

This provides glass processors with an attractive alternative to the classic autoclave technology: less infrastructure, lower energy consumption and significantly reduced total expenditure – with the same degree of safety and reliability.

Wide range of applications for modern glass products

LamiPress can be used to efficiently manufacture a wide range of glass products, including:

• Architecture and façade glass
• Interior doors, partition walls and interior elements
• Special glass sheets with drilled holes, cut-outs or shapes
• Formats and product variants in a flexible range of products

LamiPress shows off its strengths in individual orders or orders with a wide range of variants: It processes different requirements reliably without productivity or quality suffering.

Flexibility without compromise

LamiPress is particularly suited to companies that wish to produce customer-specific products, changing formats and a wide range of glass structure variants economically. Thanks to the flexible process architecture, different laminates can be processed even together, therefore as a product mix on a transfer plate.

The intuitive operating structure and predefined process recipes therefore enable reproducible quality regardless of the employees’ degree of experience.

Economical production with high added value

LamiPress reduces investment, operating and maintenance expenditure significantly. Reasons for this include:

• Dispensing with autoclave infrastructure
• No vacuum bags and hardly any ancillaries
• Energy consumption of less than 10 kWh/m²
• Cycle times from around 45 minutes
• High yield of up to 99%
• Daily outputs of 50 to 750 m²

Furthermore, additional postprocessing is no longer required in many applications, which saves time and costs, and reduces process steps further.

LamiPress product range

The LamiPress product range comprises modular lamination systems that are based on flexible transfer plate logistics and that can be configured for different production sizes, glass format and process requirements.

The machines are available in different variants, from the compact basic systems to advanced configurations such as twin‑table systems or integrated LamiStore solutions. These variants mainly differ in their cycle performance and therefore their suitability for different throughput requirements. The system can therefore be tailored precisely to the relevant product mix, the available production areas and the required capacities.

A sensible addition to the LiSEC range

With its acquisition of LamiPress GmbH, LiSEC is expanding its competencies in the laminated safety glass area and now offers its customer additional production options. LamiPress supplements the existing LiSEC solution range ideally – particularly wherever flexibility, cost-effectiveness and variant diversity are required.
