Complete uPVC Window Manufacturing Machinery List for a New Plant

A uPVC window plant needs machines for cutting, routing, welding, cleaning, glazing bead cutting and assembly. This list explains each machine in the order of work, so you can plan the setup and the budget before you buy.

Mechnovate manufactures the cutting machine, the end milling machine, the copy router and the punching machine in Ahmedabad, and supplies the pillar drill and the air compressor. We do not manufacture the welding machine, the corner cleaning machine or the glazing bead saw, so you buy those from other manufacturers.

How the machines work together Cut. A cutting machine cuts each profile at 45° for welded corners or 90° for mullions and transoms. The same machine also cuts aluminium, so it suits a workshop that makes both. Route. A copy router routes the lock holes and the water drainage slots. A template guides the cutter, so every sash gets identical slots. The pneumatic copy router adds foot-pedal clamping for faster work. Mill the ends. An end milling machine shapes the ends of mullions and transoms that meet another member. Drill. Fixing and screw holes are drilled on the pillar drill. Weld and clean. The welding machine joins the corners, and the corner cleaning machine removes the weld flash. Cut beads and assemble. The glazing bead saw sizes the beads, and the frames are assembled and glazed.

Manual machines need no compressor and cost less, which suits a start-up. Pneumatic machines are faster and less tiring, which suits a plant making many windows a day. You can start with manual machines and move to pneumatic ones as orders grow. Copy router templates work on both models.

A mixed aluminium and uPVC workshop

If you also make aluminium windows, the same cutting machine and copy router work for both materials. Add a punching machine for aluminium drainage and hardware holes. See our aluminium window fabrication machine setup guide for that side of the workshop.
