For float glass & high-throughput lines

Glass cutting wheels engineered for 24/7 float glass production.

MLC Glass Cutting Wheels helps float glass manufacturers reduce breakage, stabilize cutting processes, and optimize total cost per meter cut across multiple plants.

  • Carbide wheels designed for high-duty float glass cutting lines.
  • Focus on cost per meter cut, not only unit wheel price.
  • Pilot evaluations on one line, then standardized roll-out across sites.
For float, architectural, automotive and solar glass environments.
Solutions for float glass manufacturers

Cutting solutions for primary float lines and downstream processing.

MLC Glass Cutting Wheels focuses on one thing: reliable cutting performance on industrial glass lines. From primary cutting of jumbo sheets to downstream architectural or automotive processing, our wheels are engineered to keep your process stable and predictable.

We help you move away from low-cost, unstable tools and towards standardized cutting performance across multiple plants and geographies.

  • Maximises meters cut per wheel in intensive environments.
  • Ideal for lines where unplanned stops are extremely costly.
Diamond cutting wheels

MLC Diamond Line – PCD wheels for demanding glass cutting.

MLC Diamond Line wheels are based on PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) technology, designed for intensive industrial cutting of flat glass. They are suitable for a wide range of glass types and thicknesses, from very thin substrates to thick or automotive glass, where process stability and cut quality are critical.

The diamond cutting edge offers a very long service life compared to conventional carbide wheels, while maintaining a clean, controlled score line and predictable break behaviour. This makes MLC Diamond Line particularly relevant for float glass plants and high-value downstream applications.

Key features

  • PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) cutting wheels for industrial glass cutting.
  • Suitable for all common glass types and thickness ranges used in float and automotive glass.
  • Especially well adapted for very thin or very thick glass, as well as automotive glass cutting.
  • Very long service life, significantly reducing wheel changeovers and line interventions.
  • Possibility of regrinding / re-sharpening the wheel to extend its total lifetime (depending on application).

Typical applications

  • Primary and downstream cutting of float glass.
  • Architectural glass formats requiring stable, repeatable scoring.
  • Automotive glass cutting where edge quality is critical.
  • High-throughput lines where unplanned stops are very costly.

Technical overview

  • Cutting material: PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond).
  • Body: high-quality steel body designed for industrial cutting heads.
  • Available geometries and angles: to be selected according to glass type and line parameters.
  • Compatible with standard industrial cutting heads (details on request).

Detailed dimensions, reference codes and angles can be provided in a separate technical datasheet or adapted to your cutting head configuration.

Performance & TCO

From unit price to cost per meter cut.

For float glass manufacturers, the real cost driver is not the unit price of a cutting wheel. It is the combination of meters cut, scrap rate, and unplanned stops.

MLC Glass Cutting Wheels focuses on cost per meter cut: how many meters you can reliably score and break, with stable quality and fewer disruptions to your line.

  • Pilot evaluations comparing current tools vs. MLC solutions.
  • Qualitative and, when possible, quantitative before/after analysis.
  • Standardisation of cutting performance across multiple plants.

Typical TCO discussion topics

  • Meters cut per wheel & wheel change frequency.
  • Random breakage vs. controlled break along the score.
  • Impact on scrap tonnes per day / per month.
  • Maintenance workload and changeover safety.
  • Risk of using low-cost, unstable tools at high throughput.
QHSE & supply chain

Quality, safety and supply reliability for critical operations.

Float glass lines and downstream processing plants operate under strict QHSE frameworks. Cutting tools are a small component, but they can have a real impact on process stability, operator safety and scrap levels.

MLC works within structured quality systems and traceable supply chains, with a clear focus on consistency and long-term partnerships.

What QHSE-minded plants expect

  • Traceable lots and documented specifications.
  • Stable, repeatable cutting performance.
  • Secure sourcing of critical materials.
  • Clear technical documentation and support.
Case studies

From single-line trials to multi-site roll-outs.

Primary float line — conceptual example

Reducing random breakage on jumbo cutting.

A float glass plant experienced irregular break behaviour on its jumbo cutting bridge when running mixed thickness and coating types. After a pilot using MLC Carbide Pro wheels and adjusted cutting parameters, the plant reported more consistent breaks and a noticeable reduction in random scrap around the score line.

Downstream processing — conceptual example

Stabilising cutting performance for façade glass.

On an architectural glass processing line, frequent wheel changes and inconsistent scoring quality impacted throughput. With MLC Carbide Pro and dedicated parameter recommendations, the customer reduced changeover frequency and gained more predictable break behaviour for façade formats.

Resources & technical support

Sharing cutting know-how with your teams.

Beyond supplying wheels, MLC can support your process and maintenance teams with practical knowledge: how to select the right geometry, when to change tools, and how to tune cutting parameters for better stability.

  • Technical notes on angle selection and glass thickness ranges.
  • Guidelines on lubrication, pressure and speed.
  • On-site or remote support during pilot trials.
