Argon gas is now a standard component of IGU (Insulating Glass Unit) production, replacing air in the cavity between the panes of glass. Argon is approximately twice as dense as air, and this property improves insulation in IGUs, helping to reduce heat loss through glazing and saving energy.
High-volume glazing production, exceeding 3000 IGUs daily, requires continuous Argon supply to our production lines. Our new tank holds double the volume of our previous system and reduces the refilling frequency. We now refill monthly instead of weekly/fortnightly.
1m2 of glazing with a 20mm cavity contains 20 litres of volume. With a typical average size of 0.5m2 per glass unit, we use more than 30,000 litres per day. Adequate stocks maintain production, ensuring we have plenty of capacity and fewer deliveries, which also help mitigate costs and are suitable for the environment.
