  8. Glassco Laboratory Equipments Plant

  9. RAW MATERIAL Glassco makes all its products from tubing of ASTM E- 438 TYPE I, CLASS A BORO 3.3 GLASS. Glassco imports 300 MT of glass tubes per annum. Glassco normally keeps a stock for 3 months at any point of time which amounts to more than 60 tonnes of glass tubing.

  10. GLASS BLOWING AREA CYLINDER MACHINE GLASSCO LABORATORY EQUIPMENTS PLANT Glassco factory is spread over 15000 square meter area, out of which 9000 square meter area is covered for production and warehousing. At Glassco we have both automatic and semi automatic production automatic production is mainly of beakers, test tubes, cylinders and joints .We produce more than 300 different products in glass with different capacities.

  11. NEW PRODUCTION AREA FOR GLASS BLOWING The new blowing hall recently constructed has 75 glass blowers who work to produce all the scientific glassware according to strict tolerance of ISO standards. 60 blowers work on semi automatic machines for blowing different kind of flasks and 15 hand blowers produce complex glass products.

  12. COMPUTERISED GLASS FORMING MACHINE A computer controlled joint making machine installed at the plant gives added leverage to produce precise dimensions of sockets, cones, rims and flanges. An automatic joint making machine ensures consistent quality of joints. All the products travel through conveyor ovens for annealing / de-stressing that runs round the clock.

  13. CALIBRATION LABORATORY Glassco has automatic facility for calibrating volumetric flasks and cylinders, Glassco uses machines imported from Germany. These machines help to get an accuracy of 0.003%, so every product that Glassco make is within A-Class tolerance. For the burettes and pipettes Glassco use an automatic QUALITY CONTROL CENTER FOR verification of the calibration results.

  14. Glassco’s Calibration Laboratory has undertaken accreditation for its system for calibration and testing as per ISO 17025:2005. Glassco’s Calibration Laboratory is NABL approved. NABL has a MRA under the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), which means the calibration provided to customers for volumetric ware is acceptable in calibration laboratories worldwide. Results of calibration are guaranteed for precision as per the DIN, ISO, USP & ASTM standards. The calibrations performed by Glassco calibration laboratory are essential done under ISO 17025:2005. Please visit our website www.glasscolabs.com to see list of accreditation bodies.
