As demand grows for higher-performing insulating glass, Forel has developed production lines that combine automation, flexibility, and precision for manufacturers seeking greater efficiency and product quality.

Designed to process both thermoplastic warm-edge spacers and conventional rigid spacer systems, the lines allow manufacturers to respond quickly to changing market requirements without compromising productivity. This dual-processing capability enables the production of a wide range of insulating glass units for residential, commercial, and specialist applications.

Thermoplastic spacers improve the thermal performance of insulating glass by minimizing heat transfer at the edge of the unit, reducing condensation risks and contributing to improved energy efficiency. Their flexibility also makes them suitable for glazing exposed to significant temperature variations or high humidity, including swimming pools, laboratories, healthcare facilities, and industrial buildings.

Forel integrates advanced automation throughout the production process. Scanning and inspection systems continuously verify glass quality and dimensional accuracy, while supervisory software monitors every production stage in real time. Remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance tools help minimize downtime, improve process reliability, and reduce material waste.

The modular design of the production lines supports insulating glass units in a variety of dimensions and thicknesses, including shaped and oversized panels. Manufacturers can produce double- and triple-glazed units with gas filling to meet increasingly stringent energy-efficiency requirements.

Digital production management further enhances operational control by connecting material handling, quality assurance, maintenance scheduling, and technical support into a single workflow. Combined with remote assistance and operator training, the system enables manufacturers to optimise production while maintaining consistent quality standards.
