In-process tests and inspection includes:

  • Sealant mix and dispensing equipment – ratios checked daily ensuring correct chemical composition of sealant
  • In-line glass washing facility – with demineralising crystals and water treatment supply checked and monitored to ensure washing efficiency i.e. dry and clean glass surface
  • Desiccant – activity testing undertaken and recorded.
  • Gas concentration – gas concentration level checked and recorded
  • Toughened glass – fragmentation break and surface pre-stress testing
  • Spacer cutting saws – dimensional tolerance calibrated
  • Toughening plant – break test on glass to ensure that the minimum number of pieces required per square inch is attained and maintained
  • PIB sealing machines – weight test of applied sealant to ensure correct amount of sealant is being applied
  • All machinery is serviced – in accordance with our maintenance program by our two on-site engineers

Final product testing includes:

  • Glass inspection -each piece of glass is visually inspected for imperfections and adherence to requirements. This includes the glass components:
