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.
