Renowned window manufacturer Sternfenster have invested in a state-of-the-art automated spacer application line!
Coinciding with Sternfenster’s 50th anniversary, this move solidifies their commitment to cutting-edge technology, sustainable building practises – and their relationship to Edgetech’s Super Spacer®.
The new automated spacer application line boasts impressive capabilities. Representing an investment of £1m, the 42-metre Forel machine features an air cushion conveying system and a robotic hot melt applicator to ensure smooth and precise movement and bonding of window components.
An anti-static bar with a quality scanner and a dedicated quality check station guarantee flawless results throughout production.
The line also accommodates the processing of Georgian bars, further expanding Sternfenster’s design and performance capabilities.
Requiring only a small number of employees to operate, it not only enhances Sternfenster’s productivity but also helps them navigate industry labour shortages.
Sternfenster Glass Production & Stores Manager Einars Kalva comments:
“Super Spacer® delivers exceptional thermal performance, resulting in impressive U-values for our windows.
“This translates to significant energy savings for our customers and minimises the risk of condensation on the IGU.
“With the new application line, we’re able to manufacture exceptional units more quickly, efficiently and in higher volumes than before.”
However, for Einars, the advantages of working with Edgetech go beyond the product:
“We’ve received a huge amount of support from Edgetech in recent years, and benefitted from their expertise and excellent customer service.
“In particular, I want to thank Edgetech’s Head of Sales Tony Palmer. Tony has an enormous amount of expertise, and is always on hand to offer advice and support.
“He’s been instrumental in helping us get the most out of our new automated line.
“Supportive suppliers like Edgetech have played a key role in allowing Sternfenster to thrive over the last fifty years.”
Tony Palmer comments:
“The trend towards automation is rapidly accelerating in UK fenestration.
“Sternfenster’s farsighted investment positions them perfectly for their future growth, and with Super Spacer® at the core of their production line, they’re well-equipped to deliver outstanding windows and doors for years to come.
“We look forward to continue supporting them as their impressive growth continues.”
