Bromer Inc X-Seamer: Best-in-Class Edge Seaming Solution
The Bromer Inc X-Seamer is a high-performance double sanding belt machine designed to streamline the edge seaming process on flat glass panels. Using two angled sanding belts (4” x 106”), it removes both the top and bottom edges of the glass in a single pass, significantly reducing handling time and minimizing injury risks.
By preparing the edges before tempering, the X-Seamer helps prevent glass breakage in the furnace—a critical step in ensuring the integrity of the tempered glass.
