ERDMAN

The Erdman Fixed Head IG Secondary Sealer, designed to be simple and economical, gives an operator the ability to easily apply a professional, high quality, consistent secondary seal to IG units. The operator simply positions a glass unit in front of the stationary sealant applicator. The applicator control system tracks the glass while the operator passes the glass from left to right through the applicator. The machine applies sealant based on the speed at which the glass is being moved by the operator. When the operator gets to the corner, the glass unit is rotated

90°, with the process repeated until all sides are sealed.

The metering gear pump and tracking of glass movement provides extremely consistent sealant application without the high costs associated with traditional robotic sealing systems, the company explains. The equipment is available to dispense hot, cold, and two-part sealants and can be configured for dual and triple pane units.

The hardware also includes a handicapped-accessible threshold that provides a high level of insulation for optimal energy conservation. The supplier is also highlighting its new line of Dr. Hahn hinges for metal and vinyl applications.
