“world’s fastest IGU line”
2nd February 2016

DOUBLE R GLASS & ROOFING SYSTEMS has invested in what is said to be the world’s fastest vertical Super Spacer Automatic Hot Melt IGU line.

Ian Sims, Managing Director of Double R, said: “We approached Promac because we felt that Forel/Promac had the right mix of skills, experience and resources to produce a truly fast sealed unit line.

“Promac has supported us throughout the entire process, from the initial contact and the first meeting with Forel, through advice and support during the manufacturing process, further visits in Italy and, last but definitely not least, through the installation. Promac’s Engineers, led by Paz DiLello, are incredibly knowledgeable about Forel equipment and, whilst this is the first of its kind, their expertise has made the installation and commissioning as painless as possible.

“Collectively, we have been able to improve the line’s performance by optimising each component part. Putting each process and element under the microscope, we’ve been able to drive in even more efficiencies and productivity gains throughout the entire process from the vertical washing machine, Super Spacer applicator, tape applicator, automatic argon gas coupling press and sealing robot, and of course, the shape recognition and quality scanner. The line does everything it used to do, but it does it much faster now. So much so, that a double glazed unit can be processed in 20 seconds, and a triple every 33 seconds.”
