The LiSEC Group has acquired a majority shareholding in LamiPress GmbH, headquartered in Marl, Germany, and is therefore expanding its offering in the laminated glass production area.
LamiPress is a lamination system to manufacture laminated safety glass (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.
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 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.
Furthermore, additional post-processing is no longer required in many applications, which saves time and costs, and reduces process steps further.
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.
With the acquisition of LamiPress, 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.
