The main production of BIEBUYCK is consisting of:

Laser cutting machines

Our automatic lines run 24/7 in premier tableware facilities worldwide

From manual blowing to Blow-blow and Press-blow machines, we offer cost-effective solutions and the finest edge quality, tailored to meet your specific production requirements.

BBK’s high-speed crack-off lines provide the most advanced solution for processing beadless glasses, fully compatible with Press-Blow and Blow-Blow equipment.

Delivered as complete lines, the S-machines are specifically designed for continuous production of stemware and tumblers. With high performance and efficiency, they can process beadless glasses in soda-lime, barium, or crystal at speeds ranging from 1 to 80 pieces per minute.

Our range allows customers to find the ideal solution based on the number of sections in their blowing machine.
Crack-off and rim fire-polishing machines for tableware. The Biebuyck crack-off technique is particularly able to process thin, high value glass rims.
Sawing, grinding, bevelling and polishing machines for the edges of vases, lighting and fancy glassware.

Glass decoration cutting and engraving lathes.

Generation 2 Laser Cutting

• Widely used with over 70 machines in operation globally.
• Utilizes a 2-step thermal shock process:
• Step 1: CO2 laser focuses to create a breach on the glass surface
• Step 2: Laser defocuses to heat the glass, leading to the separation of the finished item from the moil

Followed by:

•  Grinding stations for a perfectly flat rim
• Beveling station to bevel the rim
• These finishing operations ensure the highest rim quality available on the market.

Processing machines for several types of glass items:
Tableware and tumblers
One of the main quality features of a crystal or soda-lime glass tableware item is a thin edge (rim). The best solution to obtain a thin glass rim is obtained by cracking-off the moil (the glass surplus caused by the tableware fabrication process). The crack-off process includes following steps:
* scribing and then breaking-off the moil by means of a thermal shock: either generated by the traditional mechanical solution of by our Laser Generation 2
* Glass rim grinding and bevelling
* Rim fire-polishing
* optionally: rim toughening

Vases and lighting glasses
Also vases have a moil that must be removed, like tableware. For vases showing a glass wall thickness that may exceed 10 mm, the best solution is generally sawing, whereby our process is formed by following steps:

* Sawing using diamond tools, the moil being oriented downwards (BIEBUYCK patent)
* Glass rim grinding and bevelling
* Mechanical polishing (New) giving the glass surface a mirror-like finish quality, without any tedious acid polishing

Figurines and candlesticks
Like tableware, these items have a moil that must be removed. The difference is that these items are not hollow but full glass. The processing steps are:

* Sawing using diamond disks, the moil being oriented downwards (BIEBUYCK patent)
* Glass rim grinding and bevelling
* optionally: machining a ground base under the glass foot
* Mechanical polishing (New) giving the glass surface a mirror-like finish quality, without any tedious acid polishing

For hand-made productions we offer manual machines.
