Success was achieved after 3 years of research from a team of experienced mechanical engineers, foam glass specialists and experts from the construction industry. Continuous improvement of the production process culminated in an optimised manufacturing system. Further to the simple production of a foam glass gravel product, the innovative manufacturing process also enables the production of high-quality foam glass boards in dimensions suitable for industry. The ability to produce large plates, of dimensions unrivalled by competitors, makes this process unique. The continuous manufacturing process is achieved using cutting edge systems technology. A large number of process parameters are collected and controlled via a specially designed computerised process and optimisation system. Fully automated production lines ensure constant product quality at minimum power consumption.
