ULTRA TPS®
Unique thin insulating glass production
Sustainable, efficient and durable.
1.
Efficient processing of ultra-thin glass
- Glaston TPS® technology with proven advantages in automation, flexibility and quality
- The unique line configuration and Glaston patented process sequence enable the processing of ultra-thin center glass as thin as 0.5 mm in triple IG units
- The ultra-thin center glass is well protected by being securely positioned and fully encapsulated within the secondary sealing layer
- Wide variety of shapes possible according to the Glaston shape catalog
2.
Boost your operation
- High-speed mode for conventional glass thicknesses thanks to simultaneous assembly and gas filling of two insulating glass units
- Highly automated line requires minimal personnel intervention
- Also suitable for highly efficient thin quadruple TPS® IG units
3.
Premium insulating glass
- Triple TPS® IG units with ultra-thin center glass as thin as 0.5 mm are significantly lighter than traditional triple IG units
- Ideal replacement for existing double units with compact thin triple units
- Very attractive for renovations as well as new buildings in combination with efficient slim window frames due to reduced package thickness
- Enhanced insulation performance and gas tightness with the durable Thermo Plastic Spacer TPS®
Lighter and thinner
- Easy to install – Lighter and thinner IG units require less frame support and are compatible with almost any window frame
- Low glazing U-value provides better insulation and remains relevant for decades
- Thinner glass has higher light transmission and less embodied carbon
- Greater ROI – Reduced frame support and lower U-value deliver greater ROI for building owners
Highly automated line
- Glaston patented process sequence
- Highly automated line with minimal personnel requirements due to the use of TPS® technology
- Maximum flexibility for manufacturing conventional and thin IG units, as well as mixed operation
- Lean production process due to the elimination of upstream work such as bending, sawing, joining and butylation of spacers
- Can be combined with other machines within the Glaston portfolio

“The idea of a special U-shaped design to fit our confined space was created over lunch by my son Maximillian Dreisbusch and two Glaston service engineers. I think this says everything about our close and collaborative partnership with Glaston,” says Thomas Dreisbusch, Managing Director of Glas Dreisbusch.
