Glass pistons: ideal lifting device for installing flat or curved glass

For the easy and safe installation of flat or curved glass, glass vacuums are the best choice. Polyclose visitors can convince themselves of that at the booth (1667) of VIAVAC, Dutch manufacturer of vacuum lifting tools. "Our range of glass pistons is suitable for mounting glass elements from 250 to 1,800 kg," says Sales & Export Manager Hans Alblas.

VIAVAC's glass vacuums ensure that glass can be assembled efficiently and safely. "Our machines stand out in particular because they are versatile in design for all glass sizes and can therefore be used for multiple applications," says Hans. "For example, our glass vacuums offer multiple solutions for installing the glass in hard-to-reach areas, such as in confined spaces and under an overhang."

Trend in architecture

VIAVAC's glass vacuums are ideal for both flat and curved glass. "Our range of glass vacuums for flat glass is suitable for glass elements from 250 to 1,800 kg," Hans explains. "In addition, we see that in modern architecture, curved glass is also increasingly used; this gives a building a chic look and creates a unique light. Our range of glass pistons for curved glass is suitable for glass elements from 300 to 1,000 kg. The challenge when assembling curved glass is the suction of the curved surface. In addition, curved glass is fragile and care must be taken not to break the material. Our glass suckers are specially designed for this type of work."

Sales and rental

VIAVAC offers its entire range of glass vacuums for sale and rental. Hans: "Our main customers are glass assembly companies, companies with cranes supporting assembly work, construction tool rental companies and facade builders. Also many companies in Belgium, where many beautiful construction projects are carried out with glass, work with our glass vacuums to their full satisfaction."

Trade show premier

At Polyclose, visitors to VIAVAC's booth can also learn about a real first: the GBXL, a glass suction dredger that can handle weights up to 1,000 kg. The uniqueness of this machine is that it can be set up in ten different ways, making it widely applicable for installing both small and large glass facade elements. "The GBXL is equipped with an electric, remote-controlled tilting arm; this offers great advantages for glass installation in hard-to-reach places," said the Sales & Export Manager.
