While participating in the warm edge silicone spacer industry for only three years, Glasslam has realized that the product and its manufacturing methods utilize 20+ year-old technologies and are far too costly and clearly outdated. Therefore a complete revamp of the product and equipment for manufacturing the same has been invented and is now available under license for manufacturers to make their own foam spacer in house. Glasslam has developed a fully inline spacer manufacturing system that uses less than 10% of the energy and labour costs of the old, outdated methods. By computer control and patent-applied technology, sizes of spacer can be changed in seconds with no down time. Glasslam will supply desiccated silicone pellets and adhesives to the licensees. Glasslam will utilize this process in high volume at its own facilities and continue to produce and supply Air-Tight S and Air-Tight T, the industry“s highest quality, highest desiccant, and most durable warm edge foam spacer products to customers all over the world. There are videos and plant tours available for this new concept. Several orders are already in the pipeline, and the new system will be exhibited at future worldwide industry events, including glasstec 2012.
