AWJ Glass steps up a gear with Super Spacer
AWJ Glass has invested in a fully automated Lisec Super Spacer TriSeal Application Line to up its production of energy efficient glass units.
Held simply by TriSeal alone the panels were immediately lifted and held in a vertical position from one side by a vacuum lifter.
The 6.30x3.30 meter, 311.85kg jumbo panel withstood the test and didn't give by even a single millimetre.
Even immediately after processing, the Super Spacer TriSeal held the entire weight of the glass panel without the need for further sealing.
After 15 minutes, the engineers at Schollglas were suitably amazed and the test was brought to an end.
"We were a little sceptical because the Edgetech Super Spacer TriSeal is so easy to process and requires no curing," says Hans Weinfurtner, Mechanical Engineering Technician in the development department at Schollglas Group.
"At first glance, it looks too simple to be able to work in practice, but when the float glass panel, weighing over 300 kg, was still hanging from the vacuum lifter after quarter of an hour without having slipped by even a millimetre, that convinced us completely; we were simply amazed!".
Torsten Keemss, Managing Director of Edgetech Europe, says: "We were absolutely certain that Super Spacer and Super Spacer TriSeal would withstand the loading conditions, but the magnitude of the trial at Schollglas exceeded all of our expectations.".
