TUFFX GAINS CLEAR CUT ADVANTAGES
THROUGH 3RD BOTTER O INVESTMENT
TuffX Processed Glass recently invested
in a new state-of-the-art Bottero cutting
line to cope with the increasing demand
for products in the Ambience & Processed
Glass ranges.
This is the third cutting line installed at
TuffX during the last two years and it has been
integrated into the company’s modern 50,000
sq ft facility at Knowsley to streamline further
production methods.
The installation has already helped to
increase output of the ever more popular
AmbiMax Oversize units and will enable the
company to further diversify its already well
recognised specialist glass range.
Streamlining production and modernising
the facility enables TuffX to have complete
control over quality standards, increasing
production levels and improving
manufacturing methods providing an even
faster, improved service.
Substantial investment in Bottero equipment
has been made since an initial cutting line was
installed by TuffX in 1997. Since then a good
relationship has been built up between the
two companies, as the reliability of the Bottero
brand has helped both to improve productivity
and maintain the highest production
standards.

Interpane Belgern’s ‘best-selling’
sealed units rely on SWISSPACER
Interpane Group is one
of Europe’s leading glass
processors. To meet growing
demand for the most thermally
efficient sealed units, the
company started a pilot project
and invested in machinery to
automate production of sealed
units with SWISSPACER
inside.
The new Romillo mitre-saw and
Roweldo welder from ROTTLER
& RUDIGER were installed at
84
APR 2014
Interpane’s IGU plant in Belgern,
Germany. Both machines are ideal
for large-scale production and
let Interpane produce over 600
SWISSPACER frames in a single
shift. Interpane says these sealed
units with SWISSPACER are
‘best-sellers’ because they give the
best thermal performance.
Vic De Costa, SWISSPACER
Marketing & Sales Manager
(UK & Ireland) says: “Interpane
is just one of many big sealed
unit makers who use automated
machinery from ROTTLER
& RUDIGER for large-scale
SWISSPACER production,
because it is tried and tested
to give the best thermal
performance. But SWISSPACER
is also very popular with smaller
manufacturers because specialist
machinery isn’t needed – it can be
processed by hand or on existing
machinery.
