Time and cost savings, better productivity and increased protection for its workforce all prompted Greenberg Glass’s recent £16,500 investment in a new Atlantic tilt table for Warm Edge Super Spacer application.
‘We manufacture bespoke glass units up to a maximum of 4 metres x 2.43 metres,’ said Robert Jack, Branch Manager for Greenberg Glass.
‘Before we bought the tilt table we had up to 12 people man-handling the unit through different stages, which was excessive.
‘Now we’re semi-automatic we have cut out two of the stages, need only two men for the handling, and have achieved 20 per cent time savings,’ he said.
‘We have trained four operators and once they are up to speed with the new machine, I estimate that we will increase capacity by 25%. All of these are benefits we can pass onto our customers.’
‘With the machine installed we can offer a faster delivery time,’ he added, ‘and with Edgetech’s warm edge technology, we have a better product.
‘I looked at other warm edge technology companies but felt Edgetech’s Super Spacer was the answer.
‘Edgetech is a phenomenal marketing machine. They are in tune with their customers and the markets, and their product provides a solution in an evolving industry,’ he added.
