BSG Glass (Thai Techno Glass Group) is a leading manufacturer of processed glass for interior and exterior use in the Asia Pacific area. With 50 years of experience, the company has successfully expanded the business and has become a leading glass innovator that today counts more than 400 employees.
Thanks to exceptional performance in designs and quality, BSG Glass has widely served well-known architects, designers, and property owners with a variety of different applications, from flooring inlays to splash backs, from balustrades, to sky walks, and much more
The Objective
BSG Glass vision, starting from 2020 onward, was to grow sustainably and, at the same time, to offer high-tech glass products with focus on design innovation. During their market research, and after talking to our Sales Engineer, they found out that working with Techni/Quantum was a perfect fit. In fact, green technology and innovation are the driving factors of our business model.
The Solution
Quantum SPT has innovated with its Electric Servo Pump, a product engineered to bring the waterjet industry into the new era of environmentally friendly production. The ESP, thanks to its patented design servo linear actuators, offers the best efficiency available on the high-pressure pumping market. A true solution that combines best-in-class technologies to deliver measurable benefits, including reduced power consumption for a lower environmental footprint.
For this reason, at BSG they decided to purchase a waterjet CNC composed of an Intec-G2 713 machine and the Quantum VP 15/52 Patented Electric Servo Pump – the best choice for glass applications.
Operational Advantage in Glass Cutting
Typically glass waterjet cutting cycles are 75% rapid movements + loading time. Especially in these conditions, where only 25% of the process is actual cutting, the Quantum pump gives huge environmental and cost saving advantages.
When holding pressure between cuts, the pump motor and the lubrication circuit are turned off, absorbing less than 1 KW of power. For comparison, traditional pumping technologies like Hydraulic Intensifier and Direct Drive require up to 14 KW while idling.
Production Manager Mr. Pongpan, said:
“Since we greatly improved our production capabilities, and with the technology we now have at our disposal, we are looking at opening our business to new markets and consistently grow our business in the respect of our environment.”
