Production line and factory setup overview
Produces sealed insulating glass units from cut flat glass, spacer frames, desiccant and sealants through washing, spacer fabrication/filling, primary seal, assembly, gas filling where specified, secondary sealing, curing, edge inspection and packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with one or two common IGU thicknesses and a compatible spacer/sealant system. Confirm dew point, seal durability, glass quality, spacer geometry and window-system compatibility on representative installed samples.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Glass receiving and cut-edge inspection
- Washing and drying
- Spacer bending/filling and primary seal
- Assembly and press
- Gas filling/secondary seal where specified
- Curing
- Dew-point, dimension and visual inspection
- Protected packing
Products, capacity and market fit
- Confirm an installed sample and applicable performance standard.
- Launch with a defined product family and documented process settings.
- Keep material and release records for each batch.
- Double-glazed insulating glass units - Glass type/thickness, spacer width, desiccant, sealant system, cavity gas, dew point, edge seal, dimensions and optical quality - Window workshops, façades, homes, offices, hotels and building contractors
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| Glass washer | Removes contamination before sealing | Clean dry surface |
| Spacer bender/filler | Builds dry spacer frame | Width/desiccant control |
| IGU press and sealing station | Assembles sealed unit | Seal geometry/pressure |
| Gas filling station | Fills specified cavities | Gas concentration verification |
| IGU test bench | Releases durable units | Dew point/optical/dimension check |
Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- Cut flat glass, aluminium/warm-edge spacers, desiccant, butyl, compatible secondary sealant, argon where specified, corner keys, packaging and handling pads
- Stable industrial power, clean covered glass storage and protected handling routes
- Guarded machinery, glass-breakage procedures, PPE, maintenance plan and critical spares
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
| Scope | Indicative range | Entry-plan note |
|---|---|---|
| Washing, spacer and IGU assembly | US$18k–75k | Small/medium IGU workshop |
| Sealing, gas fill, test and handling | US$15k–60k | Product quality scope |
| Freight, setup and spares | US$12k–45k | Glass/system trials required |
| Indicative entry total | US$45k–180k | Workshop and glass stock excluded |
