TPS® PRO – Thermo Plastic Spacer

Trust the original from the inventor


Sustainable, efficient and durable.

1.

Designed with a focus on usability, adjustability and efficiency

  • TPS® PRO production line is the most advanced and flexible solution for insulating glass manufacturing and allows applying the thermoplastic spacer material directly onto the glass plate
  • Increased production capacity and higher output
  • Flexible settings and versatile options
  • Production process can be customized
  • Even mixed production can be flexibly manufactured on a single line in an endless mode – without any loss of time.

2.

Boost your operation

  • Production increase by decreasing cycle times with innovative parallel transportation of glass plates
  • Exclusive gear pump system for high material dosing accuracy and application quality
  • Double material feed through master-master drum pump
  • Automatic IG thickness adjustment for compensating glass thickness tolerances
  • Easy-to-use drum trolley system for a simple drum change in less than 3 minutes

3.

Premium insulating glass

  • TPS® PRO is well proven with several million IG units installed and is suitable for residential as well as commercial buildings
  • Especially versatile for structural glazing, fire-resistant and noise-protecting glass as well as for glazing vehicle and train glass
  • Excellent tension, expansion and resilience properties
  • Optimal sealing barrier against gas loss
  • Homogeneous, continuously applied Thermo Plastic Spacer TPS®
    the perfect primary seal

Master-master drum pump

  • Double material feed through master-master drum pump concept for uninterrupted TPS® IG production
  • Higher material discharge from the drum pumps with tandem operation
  • Uninterrupted 24/7 production

New drum trolley system

  • TPS® PRO features a new drum trolley system
  • The trolley system enables a simple drum change in less than three minutes. The same process takes around 10 minutes for alternative solutions
  • Easy to use, the new drum trolley system requires only four actions from the operator: unlock, lift, replace, lock
  • No need for heavy lifting, eliminating risks to operator health and safety

Gear pump technology

  • Instead of two complex and massive cylinders used in conventional systems, TPS® PRO features an efficient gear pump technology for the dosing unit
  • Gear pump technology leads to higher material dosing accuracy and application quality
  • Changing the dosing nozzle is quick and easy

Gear pump technology

  • Unlike other solutions, Glaston uses an endless vacuum suction belt instead of a suction axe
  • An endless vacuum suction belt is especially efficient for the manufacturing of triple IG units
  • Glass transportation happens quickly and continuously, and the cycle time remains short

Bevel joint

  • Glaston can now address individual customer needs and position the bevel joint in every corner, which makes it almost invisible
  • The bevel joint positioning on the glass side is also possible
  • It is suitable for all glass formats and spacer widths between 4 and 20 mm
  • Unlike other solutions on the market, Glaston’s bevel joint doesn’t require any thermal-mechanical reworking or finishing processes
  • Irrespective of radii, small or large airspaces between the glass units, Glaston’s bevel joint ensures the highest gas tightness
  • When installed in a window frame, it makes the final aesthetic appearance admirable

“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.
