Daniel Bruckelt, Production Manager Insulating Glass of AGC Interpane in Plattling, Germany, takes pride in walking through the company’s insulating glass production facility every day.
AGC Interpane’s Plattling plant, located at the gateway to the Bavarian Forest, is a global player in the façade world, producing high-quality semi-finished glass products and insulating glass. The plant covers nearly the entire glass processing chain, from glass cutting to finishing and coating to insulating glass production.
AGC Interpane’s magnetron sputtering system differentiates the company from its competition. The system allows the company to offer high-quality façade glass from a single source. Due to its highly functional range of thermal and solar control glazing products, the Plattling plant focuses primarily on contract business. AGC Interpane’s flexibility, high quality, and decades of experience in this demanding field have made it a competent and reliable partner in project management as well as specialized insulating glass production.
AGC Interpane has been a long-term customer of Glaston and currently has three Glaston insulating glass lines and one Glaston tempering line. The most recent addition, the Glaston JUMBO XXL FLEX line, was customized for AGC Interpane. The line was ordered in 2021 and commissioned in April 2022. It allows AGC Interpane to automatically produce jumbo formats up to 3.3 x 6 m.
The Glaston JUMBO XXL FLEX line has three specially engineered features for AGC Interpane.
- The first unique feature is the FLEXSPACER’TWINAPPLICATOR, a twin-headed applicator for the automatic application of Super Spacer® material including T-Spacer™ butyling.
- The second feature is the UNIT’ASSEMBLER, a heavy-duty assembly, gas-filling, and press robot, which automatically processes 4-sided stepped IG units with a stepped bottom edge of up to 250 mm.
- The third special feature is the heavy-duty Glaston sealing robot SPEED’SEALER, which opens up new sealing possibilities.
The Glaston JUMBO XXL has eliminated all restrictions and now enables automatic production.
According to Daniel Bruckelt, “Glaston has given AGC Interpane a unique constellation in the spacer application sector. The UNIT’ASSEMBLER allows us to process special shapes and fill them automatically with gas. The SPEED’SEALER has eliminated any bottleneck at the end of the line.
