Premium Vertical Glass Washing and Drying

The Schiavo HYDRO Series is a high-performance vertical washing and drying machine developed for professional flat-glass processors requiring excellent cleaning quality, dependable drying and continuous industrial operation.

Its robust construction and advanced washing architecture make it suitable for demanding production environments where glass cleanliness directly affects the quality of downstream processes.

Available Working Heights

The HYDRO Series is available in three principal configurations:

HYDRO 2600
HYDRO 3000
HYDRO 3300

These versions are designed to process increasingly large glass formats while maintaining the same premium washing and drying concept.

Three Independent Washing Sections

The HYDRO 2600, 3000 and 3300 versions are equipped with three independent washing sections.

Each section contributes to the progressive removal of dust, glass-processing residues, oils and other contaminants from both surfaces of the glass sheet.

The separation of the washing stages allows the machine to maintain controlled and efficient cleaning throughout the complete process.

Six-Brush Washing Configuration

The three washing sections use a total of six brushes.

This multi-brush configuration provides repeated mechanical cleaning of both sides of the glass and supports a high-quality finish before rinsing and drying.

The arrangement is particularly suitable for production environments where the glass must reach downstream equipment in a consistently clean condition.

Independent Rinsing Section

After the washing stages, the glass passes through an independent rinsing section.

Separating the rinsing process from the main washing sections helps remove remaining detergent, loosened contamination and residues before the sheet enters the drying area.

This contributes to improved final glass quality and reduced risk of marks after drying.

Independent Drying Section

The HYDRO Series incorporates a dedicated drying section equipped with two stainless-steel air knives.

The air knives direct controlled airflow across both surfaces of the glass, removing residual water and helping provide a clean, dry sheet at the machine outlet.

The independent drying configuration supports reliable performance even in demanding continuous-production applications.

Stainless-Steel Air Knives

The use of stainless-steel air knives provides durability and resistance to the humid operating environment inside the drying section.

Their configuration is designed to produce effective airflow across the glass surface while maintaining the reliability required for industrial use.

Intelligent Monitoring System

The HYDRO Series is equipped with an intelligent machine-monitoring system.

Machine status and operating information can be accessed through the Schiavo monitoring application from a computer, tablet or smartphone.

This connected system supports easier supervision, faster access to operating information and improved visibility of the washing process.

Remote Machine Supervision

The monitoring platform allows authorised personnel to supervise the machine without remaining continuously beside the control panel.

This can support production management, technical assistance and faster identification of operating conditions requiring attention.

Robust Industrial Construction

The HYDRO Series is designed as a sturdy and reliable machine for long service life.

Its mechanical structure, independent processing sections and industrial-grade components are intended for continuous use in professional flat-glass factories.

High-Quality Washing Performance

The combination of three washing sections, six brushes, independent rinsing and stainless-steel air-knife drying is designed to achieve a high level of glass cleanliness.

This makes the machine suitable for applications where residues, water marks or insufficient drying could compromise subsequent processing quality.

Suitable for Production-Line Integration

The vertical configuration allows the HYDRO Series to be integrated into different glass-processing layouts.

It can operate as a stand-alone washing unit or as part of a connected production line, depending on the required material flow and automation level.

Designed for Demanding Flat-Glass Applications

The HYDRO Series is particularly suitable for processors requiring reliable washing before operations such as insulating-glass assembly, tempering, laminating, printing, coating-related preparation or final inspection.

Its premium configuration makes it appropriate for high-value glass products and industrial applications where consistent surface cleanliness is essential.

Designed for Long-Term Reliability

Independent washing, rinsing and drying sections simplify the functional separation of the process and support stable long-term performance.

The robust construction and monitored operating system contribute to reduced production interruptions and dependable daily operation.

Made in Italy

The HYDRO Series reflects Schiavo’s experience in manufacturing glass-processing machinery.

Its premium washing configuration, industrial construction and intelligent monitoring system provide a professional Made in Italy solution for demanding flat-glass processors.
