SECTION 2
96 inch GLASS WASHING MACHINE
Model TTW 966, 6 Brush Washer
Capacity -
The Washer accepts single strength to ¾
inch thick glass, from 13 inches wide 16 inches long
to full width sheets. The line speed is variable from 0
to 35 feet per minute.
Brushes -
The spiral-wound brushes in “dense-fill”
construction are 6 inches in diameter, mounted on
stainless steel cores and individually adjusted for
proper height. Brushes are V-belt driven by a
common motor and can be individually adjusted, to
compensate for wear, by raising the tilt-top.
Drying System -
In the 6 brush Washer, a 25 HP
blower with an air intake filter is connected to four
air knives; two knives above the glass and two knives
underneath the glass. An insulated enclosure covers
the drying system and reduces the noise to acceptable
levels.
Rollers -
The feed and pinch rollers are 3
⅞
inches in
diameter, made from heavy steel tubing with a solid
neoprene covering. The conveyor rollers are ring
type and driven by a
⅛
HP DC gear motor using
chain and sprockets.
Bearings -
The brushes are supported on ball
bearings. The upper pinch rollers are mounted on
pivoting brackets. The rotating action of the pivots
smoothes the movement of the thicker pieces of glass
through the machine.

Frame -
The frame is a three part steel weldment
with machined upper sidebars. The infeed and
unloading conveyors are 3 feet 2½ inches long each.
All sections that become wet through normal
operation are either plated, coated or made from a
corrosion resistant material.
Electrical -
The control panel is mounted on the
machine with conduit wiring. All electrical circuitry
is built to NEMA 12 specifications to meet OSHA
requirements. Every panel is UL approved.
The power requirements are 3 phase, 60 cycle,
208/230/460 volts. The electrical panel name plate
specifies the full load amperage.
Water -
A water/detergent solution is applied
through spray pipes; one on either side of the glass
per brush. Threaded plugs on the spray pipe ends
allow for easy cleaning. The water usage is about 12
gallons per minute without the Aqua-Miser rinse;
about 4 gallons per minute with. There will be
minimal (zero) consumption (due to drag out and
evaporation) when used with the Aqua-Miser ready
option.
Options -
The recirculating detergent system, miser
rinse system, Aqua-Miser ready (zero water), auto
glass thickness adjustments, power brush adjustment
and hydraulic power tilt-top are all options. A wetted
parts package constructed out of stainless steel for
use with a de-ionized water system is also an option.
