GLASS MANUFACTURING
Pneumatic Innovation for the Glass Manufacturing Sector
PSI Technologies supports the UK’s leading glass manufacturers with advanced pneumatic systems designed to perform in high-temperature, high-contamination environments. Whether you’re forming, cooling, transferring or palletising, our MAC Valves and integrated controls are engineered for performance, reliability, and measurable return on investment.
Where PSI Helps
Why Traditional Pneumatics Struggle in Glass Plants
Glass manufacturing environments are among the harshest in industry — with extreme heat, abrasive dust, and fast-moving cycles. Standard valves often suffer rapid failure, cause energy inefficiencies, or require frequent maintenance, leading to unplanned downtime and increased operating costs.

Recommended Products
Proportional Pressure valves:
Mac Valves proportional pressure control valves are designed for the plunger control and plunger cooling/counterblow on container forming machines.
Valve Blocks:
All MAC solenoid valves are fully protected against contamination owing to the MACSOLENOID® and wiping action technology.
Cartridge Valves:
MAC Cartridge Valves are of the superior MAC design with a balanced poppet, one piece spool, and wiping action resulting in a significantly longer life in the tough environment of a glass manufacturing facility.
Blowing Valves
The unique MAC Valves high temperature 4 way pilot technology and non-sticking design allows fast and reliable high flow blowing, whether final blow, settle blow, counterblow or a cooling application.
High Temperature Sub-base Valves:
The new generation of MAC 4 way pilot solenoid and remote air valves are designed for high temperature applications and heavy duty environments.
Conveyor Valves:
The MAC Valves 4 way, balanced pilot technology and non-sticking design, provide fast and reliable operation on sweeper applications where speed, accuracy and reliability are critical.
Take out Grippers:
The PHD Angular Take Out gripper is designed specifically to take out extremely hot hollow glass containers from the mould and place onto the conveyor.
