\u201cWe have a great deal of confidence in our supplier,\u201d says Andreas Herzog, Sr., Managing Director of Glas Herzog. \u201cOur cooperation with former Bystronic glass \u2013 and now Glaston \u2013 is just as you would want it to be as a customer. In fact, we\u2019re one of their oldest customers \u2013 44 years and counting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glas Herzog was founded by the first Andreas Herzog in 1948 as a glass grinding factory in Wagh\u00e4usel, Germany, near Heidelberg. Over the course of nearly 75 years \u2013 and three family generations \u2013 the company has evolved from a purely craftsman\u2019s business to being flat glass experts. Today, it offers a full range of functional and insulating glass to window manufacturers in Germany and neighboring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1978, Glas Herzog purchased its first Lenhardt insulating glass line. This makes the company one of Glaston\u2019s oldest customers. For special glass production, Glas Herzog still operates a 1987 Lenhardt washing machine and 1991 Lenhardt inspection station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The founder\u2019s son, Andreas Herzog, Sr., along with his sons Andreas Herzog, Jr., and Thomas Herzog, say the key to developing and managing their business successfully over the years has been to retain \u201cthe human touch\u201d as a top priority in all they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 2020, the Glaston SPEED BOX IG line was delivered to replace an old Lenhardt insulating glass line that had been operating for 26 years. Starting production in January 2021, this new line is running smoothly alongside two other Bystronic glass insulating lines that run fully automatically. Together, they enable Glas Herzog to produce more than 1,000 insulating glass units daily. The new line provides the company with high output, easy operation and robust construction for high machine component reliability. This individually configurable production line for insulating glass units with conventional spacers delivers high flexibility, excellent productivity and a long service life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special feature of Glaston SPEED BOX is its high degree of automation. By combining three components \u2013 SPACER\u2019FILLER AT (automatic desiccant filling station), SPACER\u2019BUTYLAPPLICATOR (butyl coating robot), and FRAME\u2019POSITIONER (automatic frame setting station) \u2013 SPEED BOX makes frame processing almost fully automated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithout any manual intervention, prefabricated spacer frames are automatically filled with desiccant, precisely coated with butyl and then automatically positioned onto the glass,\u201d Thomas Herzog explains. \u201cThe shortest possible cycle times are achieved by parallel filling and transport processes. We can produce different frame dimensions, profile widths and glass thicknesses in any sequence. Insulating glass unit thicknesses of 80 mm are now possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
