Manufacturing Process
At Glafix Industries, we follow a meticulous manufacturing process to ensure the production of superior architectural toughened glass and UPVC products. Here is an overview of our manufacturing process for different product categories:
Toughened Glass Process
CNC/Cutting
01We begin by using advanced CNC machines to precisely cut the glass sheets according to the required dimensions and specifications.
Grinding and Polishing
02The cut glass edges are carefully ground and polished to achieve smooth, finished surfaces.
Hole/Shape Cutting
03If necessary, we employ specialized machinery to cut holes or shape the glass as per the design requirements.
Washing
04Thorough washing of the glass sheets removes any impurities or residues, ensuring cleanliness before the toughening process.
Toughening
05The glass sheets are placed into a toughening furnace, where they undergo a controlled heating and cooling process. This toughening process enhances the strength and thermal resistance of the glass, making it highly durable and safe for various applications.
DGU Glass Process
Washing of Toughened Glasses
01Similar to the toughened glass manufacturing process, the toughened glass sheets are carefully washed to ensure cleanliness.
Aluminium Spacer Positioning
02Aluminium spacers are placed on the edges of one glass sheet to create a gap for insulation.
Butyl Filling
03We apply a high-quality butyl sealant to the spacer, ensuring a secure and airtight seal.
Placement of 2nd Toughened Glass
04The second toughened glass sheet is positioned on top of the spacer, creating the double-glazed unit.
Desiccant Filling
05Desiccant material is added to the spacer to absorb any moisture and maintain the insulating properties of the DGU.
Drying
06The assembled DGU is carefully dried to remove any remaining moisture, ensuring long-term effectiveness and durability.
Laminated Glass Process
Washing of Toughened Glasses
01The toughened glass sheets undergo a thorough washing process to ensure cleanliness.
PVB Film Insertion
02A layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) film is inserted between the toughened glass sheets. The PVB film enhances the safety and security features of the laminated glass.
Placement of Second Glass
03The second toughened glass sheet is carefully positioned on top of the PVB film.
Pressing
04The laminated glass assembly is pressed under controlled pressure to ensure proper bonding between the layers and the PVB film.
Autoclave
05The pressed laminated glass is placed in an autoclave, where heat and pressure are applied to create a strong and durable bond between the layers. This process enhances the integrity and safety properties of the laminated glass.
Throughout the entire manufacturing process, our dedicated quality control team conducts thorough inspections and tests to ensure that our products meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and durability.
Please note that the manufacturing process may vary depending on the specific product requirements and customization options. Our skilled professionals meticulously follow industry best practices to deliver top-quality architectural toughened glass and UPVC products.
