METHOD STATEMENT

1. PRODUCTION PROCESS FLOW

Cutting Glass Cutting process involves making a score in the glass surface with a diamond or special tungsten carbide cutting wheel and

then running or snapping the cut to break the glass at the core line. The score line can be straight or shaped to follow a template

or by using a Computer Aided Design (CAD) process. Glass cutting can be done manually or with semi or fully automated

Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines. The accuracy can vary significantly between the processes and if accurate

sizes are required for specific orders, these need to be noted on the production work orders or glass drawings.

Quality Control, Process operators are responsible to check and comply with the specified inspection criteria and verified by the

QC Engineer.

Edge Work Edgework is a process of Grinding, smoothing, beveling, miter or polishing edges of glass panes. Cleanliness is always taken in

consideration; it is a must for an operator to check the cleanliness of the machine, water, and its water condition in terms of its

acidity. Edge work type & details shall always be verified against the Production Work Order. As soon as grinding, smoothing,

beveling, polishing edges are done, Process Operator shall always check its quality edge visually and or measuring it to verify the

edging tolerance of ±2 mm with respect to the glass size.

Quality Control, Process operators are responsible to check and comply with the specified inspection criteria and verified by the

QC Engineer.

Heat Treatment

Stage 1: Glass Labeling

Process Operator verifies the glass types and sizes. Labels are checked on the basis of Information correctness. Labels were

removed, visually scrutinizing any defect that might have encountered during previous operations.

Stage 2: Washing

Washing Condition for coated glass extremely soft brushes must be installed which is free of contamination. Washer water is

visually checked at least twice per shift, ensuring that no broken glass or chips is present.

Lites should leave the machine completely dry without water marks. Before glass feeding, appearance is visually checked for

stains, stones and pinholes.

Logo is placed on the bottom right when viewed from outside of the building, Orientation parallel to the width.

Stage 3: Tempering Operation

Oven set up control, in accordance with the computer setup parameter Process operator checked sample sizes of every production

of glass thickness as per type.

2

Stage 4: Unloading of glass

Process Operator after unloading the glass verifies the following:

- Pane Identification

- Glass Appearance

- Straightness

- Curvature measurement

Quality Control, at every stages Process operators are responsible to check and comply with the specified inspection criteria and

verified by the QC Engineer.

Heat Soak Test

Stage 1: Loading

Process Operator before loading the glass to the Heat soak Test

Verifies the following:

- Pane Identification

- Glass Appearance

- Straightness

- Curvature measurement

The glass units are loaded into the Heat Soak trolley with the required separation for air flow.

Stage 2: Heat Soak Operation

Oven set up control, in accordance with the computer setup parameter.

1. The Heaters and Blower are switched on in auto mode.

2. Ensure that water supply, circulation pump, air supply are all ok.

3. Close the furnace door and lock it.

4. The furnace temperature is recorded and also displayed on screen

5. Monitor the temperature profile so that none of the thermocouple readings exceed 320 deg. C

6. The machine switches from HEATING PHASE to HOLD phase after required temperature of 290 +/- 10 deg C is reached.

7. After 2 hours hold time the cooling phase starts with vent door open.

8. Monitor the cool down temperature and open the Furnace Door after the inside temperature reaches about 60deg C.

Stage 3: Unloading

The doors of the Heat soak machine should be opened only after reaching the normal temperature. Proper inspection should be

done on each pane.

Quality Control, At every stages Process operators are responsible to check and comply with the specified inspection criteria

and verified by the QC Engineer. If there is any breakages it should be entered.

Insulating Glass Unit

Stage 1: Pre Assembly

Preparation

Glass Matching/ Sorting, Process Operator sorts out the glasses as per the specified requirement, finding partners to be process

as one. Washing Machine, Glasses are loaded on the LISEC machine to remove impurities such as dust through washing

procedure.

Inspection Area, washed glasses are loaded on the machine lit with fluorescent lamp to verify the total surface area is free of

blemishes, scratches, defects, or any impurities.

Frame Processing

Semi-automated machine are configured accordingly against the specified requirement such as thickness and dimension.

Aluminum spacer strip are fed into the machine forming a rectangular/square shape. After the frame has been bent or cut, the

subsequent processing stages influence the quality and therefore the durability of the insulating glass decisively.

Desiccant Filling

As per machine configuration setting: The ratio of desiccant filling for every 1 (one) square mm surface area of the spacer frame

is equal to 100 grams. The ratio is sensitively controlled by the automated machine.

Butyl Sealant Application

Butyl sealant are applied onto the periphery surfaces which are clean, dry, and free of dust, oil and grease and at temperature

between 25° C to 35 ° C. Freshly applied excess material are trimmed from the joint with a spatula or knife. The excess materials

are removed immediately. Application of Butyl Sealant is being done through the automated machine in which the spacer frame

is being manually fed by a Process Operator.

Stage 2: Assembly

Pressing Machine/ Assembly Machine

It is a method for manufacturing a hermetically sealed insulated glazing unit. A glass insulating sealed unit suitable for cap less or

stopples glazing comprising two spaced-apart glass plates and spacers to separate and join the glass plates arranged about the

entire periphery of the plates and between the plates, spacer are installed on the coated side (facing the Process Operator), No

contact at any point are made on the coated side whenever the spacer frame is being positioned. Likewise, no contact are made

on the primary sealing while installation. The spacers are adapted for connection of the unit to adjoining support members in

order to support and fix the unit. The preferred spaces each comprise a generally channel-shaped member having its elongate

recess open along the edge of the unit.

Structural sealant on two opposite sides of each spacer bond each of said sides to the adjacent inside surface of a respective glass

plate. An elongate strip of compound providing both desiccant and vapor seal extends between the glass plates and along inside

surface of the spacer. Each spacer is preferably connected to a support member by means of flat clips evenly spaced along the

spacer and threaded connectors extending through holes in said clips. Each clip has two flat ends with the thickness of each end

being about equal to or less than the width of the recess formed by the spacer.

4

The dual purpose compound can be a combination of butyl rubber and poly-isobutylene that adheres to the glass plates and is

capable of continuing to adhere to either glass plate in the event the structural sealant fails. Important Points to be remember: 24

hours curing time after sealant application is a must and no movement of the fully sealed Insulated Glazing Unit is allowed.

Gas Filling

Stage 1: Sleeve Assembly

Check the sleeve size to be inserted and proper drilling on the spacer should be done in order to fill the appropriate gas. Sleeves

should be fitted tightly before the desiccant filling. After the pressing assembly inserts the sleeve lock temporarily before the

sealant application and avoid the sealing of proposed sleeve area to protect from unidentified objects entering into the units.

Stage 2: Filling of Gas

Place the gas filling machine and calibrate it as per the machine calibration requirement. After silicone application place the units

vertically and fill the required gas to the required percentage as per the Job order. Fix the sleeve lock tightly and seal the area

properly. Measure the gas content inside the unit and verify it with proper measuring gauge after proper calibration.

Quality Control, at every stages Process operators are responsible to check and comply with the specified inspection criteria and

verified by the QC Engineer.

Sealant Application

To ensure Sealant Quality, for every start of production shift or change of sealant tank, the following tests are performed and

recorded.

Butterfly Test

The butterfly test is performed every time the pump is started up, including start-ups that occur after extended breaks. The

purpose of this test is to check for an adequate mix of base and curing agent components.

Snap Time Test

Once proper mixing of the two-component sealant is achieved (as confirmed by butterfly test), a snap time test is performed. This

test is performed each time the equipment has been shut down and restarted. The snap time test relates the base-to catalyst mix

ratio to the cure rate of the sealant and provides an indication of working time (one-half the length of the snap time) and deep

section cure time.

Mixing Ratio Measurement

Each time the equipment is started, or each time a new kit of sealant is put on the machine, a physical measurement of the mixture

ratio of the two components is recorded prior to performing any other tests. Most variable ratio pumping equipment provides a

set of valves that can be opened. Hold a disposable cup underneath each valve outlet; open the valves for a set time (10 seconds,

with a minimum of 3 strokes of both the base and catalyst pumps). The collected samples of each material can now be weighed

to determine the dispensing ratio by weight.

2. PRODUCT HANDLING & LOGISTICS

Handling

Tempered glass should be received the same care as annealed glass. Unfortunately, familiarity with the greatly improved strength

of tempered glass may mislead people to exert less care in handling it. Careless handling and improper installation sometimes

produce edge damage. Delayed breakage can ensue when edge-damaged tempered glass is subjected to a moderate thermal or

mechanical stress. Full penetration of the compression layer will likely produce instantaneous total fragmentation of tempered

glass. Hence, tempered glass cannot be cut or modified following heat treatment.

Handling and glazing large heavy IGUs is best done with strops so both panes are supported but in some cases suckers are

required. If suckers are used on one side only they can put shear stress on the IGU seals and damage them. The materials and the

products are carefully handled in the factory. The glasses are moved to the workstations using A-Frame to avoid any surface

damage. It is ensured that the finished products are protected using the protection tape prior to loading. Loading is performed by

forklifts/crane by experienced riggers and extreme care is taken to avoid any damage during loading process.

The dispatch in-charge monitors the loading process and tallies the delivery order and confirms the batch number of dispatch to

his satisfaction acknowledged with delivery note.

Packing Boxes

All glasses to be exported are placed in a wooden box which is also pre-

fabricated from the factory premises. Accordingly sizes of the wooden

box are being customized as per the list of glass in the Order and/or

Packing List. Upon final confirmation of QC Inspector, workmen are

instructed to carefully handle the processed glasses/IGU and accessories

into its respective wooden box under close supervision of Dispatch In-

charge Processed Glass / IGU are grouped accordingly based on its width

and height. In between Glass surfaces, glass separator/cork pad is placed

strategically to prevent scratches on glass surface if any foreign particles

are caught in between its surfaces. After final counting is made a

Polythene Sheet is being wrapped around the stacked glasses to protect

its exposed surface then it is fastened vertically from its both end using

the plastic cord strap to ensure that glasses are well intact and tighten.

Final packing is made by closing in the box. Rigidity of the wooden box

is reinforced through fastening it with metal strap ensuring that no

movement can be observe that might lead to disintegration of the

wooden box. After which, Packing List, Quality Report & QC Label is

posted on it. Final Packed Wooden Boxes is then be transported by crane

or forklift (as the case applies) and loaded to the container.

Storage

Storage areas are clean and dry with good circulation of cool dry air particularly after periods of high humidity to prevent wet-dry

staining. Inter leaving material should be used. Glass are stored on even surfaces in areas not subject to heavy traffic or overhead

debris or high wind gusts and away from construction work such as sand blasting, welding and grinding. Where glass received

in a wet condition it is unpacked, dried and stacked with separators that allow airflow between the panes. Glasses are always

being stacked at an incline of 4 to7 degrees from the vertical. Thick annealed and tinted glass, reflective glass and IGUs should

always be stored out of direct sunlight to avoid any risk of thermal stress breakage.
