systron SWR300 – High-Performance Water Treatment System for Vertical Glass Processing

The systron SWR300 is a high-performance process water treatment system engineered for all systron vertical glass processing centres. Designed for CNC glass processing, water-cushion machining and high-throughput production environments, the SWR300 ensures a clean, stable and reliable water cycle — essential for consistent processing quality and long machine lifetime.

Using a lamella clarifier system combined with precise flocculant dosing, the SWR300 filters abrasive cutting sand, fine glass dust, and PVB particles from the water circuit. This guarantees a dependable level of process water quality throughout the entire production workflow.

1. Waste-Water Intake & Flocculant Dosing

Process water from the glass processing centre is pumped into the waste-water tank from multiple sources:
• machine basin
• manual basin suction
• Big Bag station
• sludge destroyer

A flocculant dosing pump adds the correct amount of flocculant, binding suspended solids and enabling rapid settling — the foundation for efficient lamella clarification.

2. Lamella Clarifier with Honeycomb Plates

At the heart of the SWR300 is the lamella plate clarifier, a passive filtration system using a proven honeycomb plate structure.

Inside the clarifier:
• The flocculated particles settle on the lamella plates
• Cleaned water rises above the plate pack
• The purified water flows through an overflow channel into the fresh-water tank

The lamella modules are tool-free to remove and replace, making maintenance extremely simple. Replacement is only necessary when plates become fully clogged with sediment.

3. Automated Sediment Removal with Conical Tank Bottom & Big Bag System

The waste-water tank is welded in a conical hopper design, concentrating sediment at the lowest point. Via timed flushing, the sediment is automatically transferred into the Big Bag system.

The Big Bag fulfils two essential functions:
• final filtration stage for residual fine particles
• storage container for cutting sand, glass dust, and PVB residues

Mounted on rollers, the Big Bag trolley allows quick removal and replacement using standard lifting equipment.

4. Return Flow of Filtered Process Water

After passing through the Big Bag filtration stage, the cleaned water is collected in the Big Bag basin and then pumped back into the process water loop.
This ensures stable water circulation, low water consumption and consistent filtration performance.

To support fast, efficient service work, all relevant systems are positioned compactly around the SWR300 water treatment unit, forming a centralised service hub:

• pumps and filters for the water-cushion system

• central lubrication unit

• vacuum tank

• hydraulic unit with spindle cooling/temperature control

• flocculant dosing unit and pH monitoring

This accessibility reduces service time and increases machine availability. In daily production, a service-friendly design directly results in more consistent maintenance — and therefore longer machine lifetime and stable processing performance.

• Consistent process water quality for proHD, pro and proMD
• High capacity: 300 l/min continuous supply
• Passive lamella clarification — robust, durable, no moving parts
• Efficient sediment separation via hopper bottom and Big Bag system
• Tool-free lamella module replacement
• Centralised service platform for minimal downtime
• Extended machine lifetime through stable water conditions
• Highly effective removal of cutting sand, glass dust and PVB particles
• Perfectly suited for automated glass processing lines

The SWR300 integrates seamlessly with all systron vertical processing lines, including the
➡️ systron proHD CNC Glass Processing Centre with Waterjet
➡️ systron pro CNC Edge Processing Centre 
➡️ systron proMD Edge Processing Milling & Drilling Centre
➡️ systron esX Seaming & Grinding Machine

With two tanks of 1,500 litres each — one for waste-water, one for fresh water — the system maintains a continuous supply rate of up to 300 l/min, ensuring stable machine operation even in demanding production environments.
