MACHINES – OVERVIEW

Automatic Glass Storage System

We have the latest automatic glass storage system that will automatic unload the

glass from the glass storage racks or a multi-compartment glass rack for supply to

glass cutting lines. Due to the varied nature of the business we carry an extensive

range of stock from all the major European manufacturers. With this automatic

unloading system, we would be able minimise the manpower, increase on our

productivity and more cost effective.

DDG TEMPERING FURNACE

DDG Tempering Furnace for Flat Glass With PREHEATING CHAMBER

DDG has equipped with the biggest furnace in Singapore and Malaysia with a super

jumbo dimension of 3210 x 8000mm. Its heating technique is particularly recommended

for latest generation Low-E glasses.

Better Optical Quality The roller surface is composed of hollow rollers in fused silica.

This structure, which enables to reduce the rollers’ weight and mass, offers two main

advantages:

1. A greater and more accurate straightness of the roller itself, with a clear positive impact

on the glass flatness.

2. A smaller quantity of heat accumulated by the hollow roller implies a lesser thermal

impact on the lower surface of the glass, thus reducing the convexity effect caused by

the heat transferred through conduction from the roller to the glass (this phenomenon is

very noticeable in furnaces with massive rollers).

Owing to this feature, the glass is less stressed and shows a better optical quality.

Tempered glass is heated to approximately 600 degrees Celsius and then rapidly cooled

(forced cooled) with jets of air creating surface or edge compression. This increases the

mechanical and thermal stresses of the glass. The fragments of tempered glass when

fractured are blunt small pieces compared to annealed glass reducing risk of injury.

DDG TEMPERED SAFETY GLASS

Advantages:• 4-5 Times stronger than normal anneal glass

• Classified as a safety glass

• Protection and reduce risk of serious injuries

• Increased impact resistance

• Higher level resistance to thermal stress and

mechanical stress

Applications:• Façades, doors, eaves, or windscreen

• Staircases, balconies or parapets

• Shopping Mall automatic doors Tempered glass breaking pattern.

Maximum production dimension is 3210mm x 8000mm

Production

DDG HEAT SOAK FURNACE

Tempered glass face the risk of sudden breakage due to the expansion of nickel sulfide

inclusions (NiS) presented within float glass. A common practice is to avoid the use of

tempered glass whenever possible.

Why heat soak test ?

Due to the increase (NiS) breakage in tempered glass , heat soak test has become one of

the requirement for most of the commercial project and the cost for HST is about 20% of

the tempered glass cost. Some architects is limiting the use of tempered glass in

commercial building applications by specifying heat strengthened glass.

Heat Soak Test The process elevates the exposure temperature to about 280 Degrees Celsius (+/- 10

Degree) for a period of 2 hours or more.

An incident happened in January 2012. Atempered glass shattered from a building due tonickel sulfide inclusions and fortunately nobody ishurt.

DDG HEAT SOAK TEST

Why there is still (NiS) breakeage after HST?

• Not green, because of the high power consumption

• Additional cost for HST and also whatever that has broken during the process has to be

bear by the customer

• No certification for HST product and unhealthy price competition may cause some

processors to cheat

• Use low nickel content glass from reputable suppliers with good track record of NiS.

• Reduce the risk of spontaneous breakage by Nickel Sulphide

• Heat soak cannot totally eliminate the risk of Nis Breakage.

• Heat soaking process may actually cause stable stones to begin a phase of

transformation during HST

• May affect the Soft Low Emissive glass coating or other non Pyrolytic coatings.

• Adjacent glass panels would be damaged should a breakage occurred during heat

soak.

• No equipment to test or certified whether HST has been carried out.

Heat soak test not recommended

DDG HEAT STRENGTHEN GLASS

Heat-strengthened glass is twice as strong as annealed glass of the same

thickness, size and type. The process is similar to tempered glass, however the rate

of the cooling process is slower than tempered glass. In such a way, we obtain glass

categorized by its mechanical and thermal characteristics that is between float and

tempered glass.

During breakage, it splits into large sharp pieces similar to float glass. Therefore it is not

considered a safety glass and usually combined with a laminated safety glass to obtains

safety properties.

Advantages:• 2 times stronger than normal annealed glass

• Do not require heat soak, due to slower cooling process and no

risk nickel sulphide incision is negligible.

• Combine with laminated glass to obtain safety properties

• Increased impact resistance

• Increased resistance to thermal stress and mechanical stress

Applications:• Façades, ceilings, eaves, or windscreen

• Staircases, balconies or parapets

Maximum production dimension is 3210mm x 8000mm

Breaking pattern similar with float glass

DDG LAMINANTED GLASS

Production

DDG Laminated safety glass features a strong PVB (Polyvinyl butyral) interlayer bonded

between two or more glass combination. The process is done at high temperature and

under high pressure. The glass combination may be of equal or unequal thickness and

the PVB (Polyvinyl butyral) interlayer is available in many colors

Laminated glass is a durable, high-performance glazing product and is regarded as a

safety glass. Laminated glass is commonly used in:

• Interior Applications: Partitions, doors, windows, skylights, furniture, balustrades,

retail shelving, flooring

• Exterior Applications: Doors, windows, curtain walls, wall coverings, overhead

glazing, etc.

Glass is still bond to the interlayer when is broken

DDG LAMINANTED GLASS

Advantages

SafetyLaminated glass is versatile in both preventing injuries from broken glass and protecting the

building envelope. Its reduces the risk of injury from broken glass because the glass clings to

the interlayer upon impact. By holding the glass in place, the interlayer provides protection

from dangerous flying or falling glass fragments

Security

Laminated glass is referred as security glazing and are designed for protection from

burglary and forced-entry resistance, ballistic (bullet) protection and bomb blast

resistance. Storm: Providing hurricane force resistant technology to laminated glazing

systems.

Sound Reduction

Laminated glass proves an excellent barrier to noise and provides superior noise

reduction capabilities compared to ordinary glass,

UV Control

Filtering more than 99 percent of UV rays, controlling visible light radiation &

reducing heat build-up & thermal stress.

DDG INSULATED GLASS

DDG Insulated Glass unit is a high quality glass insulating solution. It comprises of

two or more panels of glass, separated by a desiccant-filled spacer and hermetically

sealed. A primary seal of butyl prevents moisture vapour leakages and serves as a

conductor against thermal transfer, while a secondary two component sealant

permanently bonds the insulating unit/Double glazing unit providing strength and

protection for installation and against stress and temperature fluctuation.

DDG offer a large combination of Insulating Glass using tinted glass, silk-screened

patterns, customized design using digital printing technology, Low-E and solar

reflective coatings to help you create unique designs and achieve specific

transmission levels and solar control options.

DDG Insulated Glass can be customised further by combining with:

1. Stainless Steel Spacers to achieve warm edge performance or coloured (Black anodised)

2. In-filling the with Argon or Krypton to improve the U Value 3. Digital Print with graphics using Ceramic Ink for better visual appeal 4. Decorated with Steel Mesh in the airspace to reduce solar radiation and

light transmission.5. Low-Emissivity coating on Low Iron substrate to achieve a higher light

transmission.

DDG offers a wide variety of High performance Low-E Glazing that includes:

Low E Coating Advantages

1. On-line Pyrolytic Hard Coated Durable surface and easy to do secondary processing

1. Double Silver Solar Control MSVD Economical way to achieve all round high solar control

1. Triple Silver Solar Control MSVD High visible light transmittance, low

exterior reflectance and the lowest U-values
